Hi Rocky,

Yeah .... the "ol vent pipe trick " doesn't work on the newer homes nowdays=
.
with the advent of using PVC for venting, they run the vent pipe all over t=
he place with bends and elbows. Never a straight run anymore. Same goes for=
 HVAC. Much of that is flex tubing. The returns are the best option but aga=
in, with the newer homes using the "open" living spaces, there are hardly a=
ny walls over walls or closets over closets. And, as I said, in this house =
every thing is over built with a first floor with radiant heat, made of cem=
ent over the basement.

Metal pipe would have to be done outside, ( I don't do metal pipe) so I'd h=
ave to get an electrician and the house is made of cement and field stone.

Haven't had any problems with the Starlink when cellular signal is availabl=
e. I'm on Long Island NY ..... highly populated compared to you so I've fig=
uring the cellular service is probably more robust here.
