5.5 hours wiring on a Sunday

So much for a day of rest..... Today we spent 5.5 hours on wiring. We did make some progress, even though we had to go to Home Depot for parts. We may want to redo some of the wiring - much has changed since we first planned it and ran wires early in the remodel. The immediate goal is stable internet access - our connection is very patchy now and is often not up. We suspect it has to do with all the wires on the floor which get stepped on and otherwise abused by the dogs and by us.

Here is a photo of the board we installed in the corner of the office closet to serve as a hub for all the wires. Everything comes to and leaves from here. We lucked out in that there is an unused flue from when the furnace was in the crawl space under the house. The furnace was non-functional and over 50 years old, so we had it removed and put a new one in the attic. The flue is now empty and runs from the crawl space to the attic in the middle of the house and adjacent to the office closet. We couldn't have asked for a better place to run wires.



Here is a close up of the board. There are lots of holes, as we are giving ourselves capacity for multiple jacks in each room.
