Re: Wireless Security system info wanted

If you pull up a small section of carpet at a time and put it right back on
the tack strips as you go you might get away without using a carpet kicker.

| Thats challenging. But it's got me thinking. :-)
| I can rerun the incoming phone line to the second story to the panel,
| then run wires under the carpet to close to where I would like it.
|
| The control panel would be in the master bedroom closet, but thats not a
| bad place for it to be.
|
| Might even be able to get to the closet by the front door.
|
| Any tips for pulling up the carpet without messing it up?
|
| Thanks again!
