It's going from one side of the house (well, utility room at the back of
the attached garage) to the back of the lounge - ie same height :-(
I could start at ceilling height, but that would mean routing above the
decking, and crossing in front of the patio doors :-)

With no structured cabling in the house to speak of when we bought it,
and no need/money to redecorate at the moment, some of the cabling is
going to have to be done via the outside (unless I go via the loft...?
Hmm.). Hopefully we can avoid turning it into an ugly Centre Pompidou :-)

Hmm, if I use something that has t-joints available, I could also route
cables to the other garage. Cunning...
