Re: newbie question - how to get cat5 cabling into walls?

> I found retro fitting a complete structured wiring system to be quite
a
difficult job (definitely need two people) and due to the construction of
the walls, ended up sawing up large areas of upstairs floorboards to run
cables which would then run down the downstairs walls between the
plasterboard and blockwork. I also did this with minimal disruption to the
plasterboard, only cutting a few access holes. This made the job really
difficult, fishing with bits of string and wire coat hangers etc but the
job
of making good was easy.

flood wire scheme, even if you need to drill a few small holes (which
aren't
difficult to patch up).

Good call.

Nope, I'm not. I stumbled across this group while researching how to get a
good quality sky digital picture from one room to another.

Thanks for all the pointers.
