I still need to check out your place! Ive been busy with my move and other stuff.. things are hectic. Let me know when the next get together is!
I've got a box of 1000ft of Cat5e cableready to run to both rooms downstairs.
get the upstairs rooms done as well since you have ceiling off already.
really really easy, just get that long drill bit from menards/homedepot that are like 4 feet long and flexible $19.
get the boxes for remodels, cut out the hole in upstairs wall for the box, feed the bit throu the hole, so it rests on the floor in the wall and start drilling, it will drill throu the 2x4, and then the floor, and come out in the basement.
remove the drillbit from the drill. tie a cable to the end of the drill bit and have someone pull it into the basement for ya.
just carefull on the pipes below the floor when drilling.
Alright, here is my latest project. We are totally redoing the bathroom. I started Sat. afternoon and this is what it looked like by Sunday night. Taking small tile like that off a floor sucks ass!! The first 2 are with just the wallpaper down and a bit of tile off. The 3rd is after most of the demo, but fixtures still in. The 4th and 5th are in full demo. I'll post up more pic's of the progress. Things are starting to go back together now.

Allan, why are you running so much cat5e cable? why not just setup a wireless network?

geeks. The house will be wired up pretty good. Right now the Cable TV and internet layout will be as follows:
Cat5 in downstairs bedroom
Cat5 in downstairs media/movie/family room
Cat5 in upstairs den
Secure Wireless in whole house.
Cable w/ DVR in downstairs bedroom
Cable w/ DVR in each of the two upstairs bedroom
Cable w/regular box in downstairs media/movie/family room
Cable w/regular box in upstairs den
Cable w/regular box in living room.
I will have pics of more shit this weekend since we are moving the rest of the shit. If anyone is bored Sat or Sun and wants to lend a hand with a few things let me know. We are hiring movers for Sat moring (woot!) but will just be tossing everything in the garage or upstairs while we sort and arrage. Beer & food obviously provided.
