Default Re: Operation Home Run

Oye.... having issue with my camera right now, so no pics.... but I really got NOTHING done Tuesday.... clean out the closet to get into the attic, which took a little while (closet is in my room mate's room). Then after 10 minutes in the attic, I ran to Menards, and bought a hole saw, a mouth & nose mask (for insulation dust), a good set of knee pads (6'3" in the attic is rough), and a flood light (there are no lights up there). Also got a set of knit gloves that had the palms coated in latex, they ROCK. I was able to locate where the 2 phone cables run down the wall from the attic to get to the office & room mates room, and I drilled a hole right next to the existing one. I then ran the cable fish (200 foot) from the office, into the wall, up to the attic. Now, I am at the stage where i need to figure out HOW and WHERE to run the cables to the main collector spot in the basement. This is the most challenging part. Punching down all the cables and testing will be time consuming, but not as bad as the running of the cables. Will post pics when I can, and will keep you updated.
