RE: cables. was HA system networks



Daniel,

Yes, sort of. Although not specifically for when I sell, just for when _I_
forget what I've done in about a year or so. My wiring guide will go in
(colour codes used etc.) plus sketches & photos of where I've chased the
walls to run cables so I don't drill into them when putting up shelves etc.

Cheers,

Tim H.

now) _and_ Cat5 ('cos I hope I can afford to connect with it in the future).

Cheers,

Tim.

Grrrr.  I was feeling bad enough about having to use coax without this!
