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.

Andy,

Not sure if it makes you feel any better but I'm following exactly the same
route as you. I've pre-wired for coax ('cos I can afford to connect with it
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!
