Re: "Work In Progress" times?

You are not the only one........ :-)

My wife is house proud, god bless her. If it was upto me the place would be
in disarray for weeks on end. CUrrently I am trying to stage the cat 5
wiring to ensure the carpets are back in place at least by lunchtime, after
usually starting  LATE the night before. One run at a time ???? You surely
mean one route at a time (cat 5 ) in my case upto 20 cables 15 working, 5
just in case.

Marriage is a matter of GIVE and TAKE

the good wife gives a little and you try to take a few metres of cabling
the good wife gives a nod of the head for HA and you decide to by Comfort,
Pronto, Homevision and lots of x10
the good wife agrees to needing a new tv you try to buy a complete home
cinema.

I must admit if it was left to me the purse would be empty, fortunately my
wife Sheila keeps me in line :-) and we can still afford to eat chinese :-)
