If you knew how much I earned, you'd retract that statement ;-)

I suppose, at =A330/reel, it's minimal cost.

Indeed.

Ouch!  What for?  One phone, 2 KAT5, one IR.  That's all I c= an think of.

Hmmm.  The way I've thought it out so far is this ...

Lounge - 2x KAT5, 2x phone, 1x network, 1x IR, 1x coax
Kitchen - 1x KAT5, 1x network, 1x IR, 1x coax
Bathroom - 1x KAT5, 1x IR, 1x coax
Bedrooms 1-3 - 1x KAT5, 1x IR, 1x coax, 1x phone
Loft - immaterial, CAT5 takes seconds to there!
