He didn't plan on running it around the edge of the room, along side the wall, but straight through the middle, where people would walk over it. Also, it's a big no-no to put a proper wall socket on a flexible cable, even for a electrical point for an extension cord you need to use a cable with thick outer insulation which can't be damaged easily.

He wanted to do what?
Let me see if I read this correctly. He wanted to use 2 wire cord like for lamps across a pretty good size area that people walk on and put a standard wall socket on it. That gave me nightmares.
When I needed an extention cord for my kitchen, I didn't buy in housewares, I went to a store that sells heavy duty cords. Let's put it this way, the cord is rated higher or the same as the breaker so I don't have to worry it.
