and

difficult, it

that

other

passing

fax/data

the

sitting

on

>I have managed to hide all of the wiring so far thanks to some boxing

lid
and
>laid all of my wires with minimal drilling and almost no trunking
required).
>I though that I would probably have to give up at this point as any
changes
>to sockets or lighting would require chasing out walls (it would not be
>acceptable to mix modern trunking with exposed beams and stone work)
and
>this would cause an unacceptable mess. However we have recently had a
full

lack
of
>fuses) and the results have identified the need to replace most of the
>lighting wiring. So finally here are the questions (if you got this far
>thank you for your interest and patience!).
>
>1.    The majority of lighting on the ground floor is wall lighting and
>therefore to re-wire will certainly require chasing out, what 'optional
>extras' would you recommend be added to the lighting cabling.
>
>2.    I will certainly have to add outlets to the office and quite
possibly
>other rooms as well, again are there any options I should consider.
>
>3.    I have a computer in the 'communications' cupboard that is linked
to
>the TA and provides answer phone and fax facilities, it has a monitor
that
>displays CLI information. I would like a second monitor showing the
same
>information in the office (two floors above), even better I would like
a
>second mouse and keyboard for that computer. What is the best way to
achieve
>this, is it possible over my existing network or do I need additional
>hardware/wiring.
>
>4.    Given that I already have quite a bit of CAT 5 cabling, I am
certainly
>interested in the AV over CAT 5 thread.
>
>5.    I have heard (and read at Mark's site) quite a bit about the
>Homevision equipment, would this work with ISDN and a TA or is it only
>compatible with POTS.
>
>6.    Are there any other things I should consider given this 'one off'
>opportunity to create a mess and get at the wiring.

>Thanks in advance for any suggestions
