You're certainly invited to stop over to assess the situation and I certainly understand the need for flexibility. <span style="background-color: transparent;">The basement is part open, part drywall. I wouldn't mind if we had a smaller group show up. If larger then its Pabst, not Founders

In the past I've run miles of cable in an old<br>factory-converted-to-office-building in downtown GR. It was on-demand,<br>ad-hoc, as different tenants decided to obtain service from the ISP in<br>the building that I worked for, so it wasn't beautiful - lots of stuff<br>zip-tied to pipes and conduit or tucked in crevices:)<br><br>I've also run cat5 to various rooms in my own house. (finished<br>basement, so some ugliness)<br><br>If you are aiming for fully wiring the house for future flexibility,<br>I'd suggest a patch panel at a central location for everything to<br>terminate to.<br><br>I'd be happy to help, but I'd have to work around my work schedule.<br><br>And to be honest it sounds like there's already plenty of help on<br>board. I think if 20 people show up there's going to be more tripping<br>over each other than pulling cable :P<br><br><br><br>On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 11:40 AM, desert frag <<a ymailto="mailto:desertfrag@yahoo.com"
