Hello, operator

When you've stripped a house down to it's studs, you might as well make the most of it. So before any new drywall went up, we complely strung the house with new wiring AND phone, internet, and cable. Now that the walls have been up for (wa!? a year almost?!, . . crap) well it was time to get those items working.

Since we used the same CAT5e for everything and forgot to label it in the first place, it had to be re-identified. A AA battery and digital multimeter will do the trick, but it means a lot of walking back and forth. Once properly labeled, therecivers in the rooms got punched down.

And snapped in.

Then all we had to do was clip on some ethernet heads and plug-em in. The incoming phone lines can now be removed from the outside of the house, the line interface and line can be moved to a more suitable location, a proper antenna or even cable is now routed to every bed and living room, and with the addition of an ethernet switch, internet in every room (except bathrooms and kitchens--that's what wireless is for).
