Re: Foundations are in!

No to labour the point, but yes, get in more
CAT-5 cabling than you think you can possibly have a
use for. We found the CAT-5 we had in place useful
when we got it installed before the plaster was in
place, but since then we have had to cut holes in the
walls, drill holes through beams (not supporting ones,

honest!) replaster, crawl about under tables, sofas,
desks... shouting from the ground floor to the loft,
replaster the walls, redecorating is next... far too
much effort!
We thought we >had< gone overboard with the cableing
at the time ... how wrong we were!
