[GRLUG] cable installation

In the past I've run miles of cable in an old
factory-converted-to-office-building in downtown GR. It was on-demand,
ad-hoc, as different tenants decided to obtain service from the ISP in
the building that I worked for, so it wasn't beautiful - lots of stuff
zip-tied to pipes and conduit or tucked in crevices:)

I've also run cat5 to various rooms in my own house. (finished
basement, so some ugliness)

If you are aiming for fully wiring the house for future flexibility,
I'd suggest a patch panel at a central location for everything to
terminate to.

I'd be happy to help, but I'd have to work around my work schedule.

And to be honest it sounds like there's already plenty of help on
board. I think if 20 people show up there's going to be more tripping
over each other than pulling cable :P
