This Cold House

A few days after I did the bathroom insulation, Dan and I installed the CAT5 cable for data and phone and the RG-6 coax for cable TV into the upstairs bedrooms.  Each room has 2 CAT5 runs and 1 Quad-Shielded RG-6.  I don’t have a lot of pictures because, well, most of the cable is in the wall.  I’ll take a few of where it is exposed and add them to this post later.  We ran from the basement, to the bottom of the first to second floor steps (maybe pictures would help at this point), under the steps to the second floor, out into the floor of the future bathroom closet, and from there into the attic.  I had to crawl around a lot in the attic to get the wires into each room which sucked.  There isn’t much clearance to the roof and I kept smacking my head off of it.  Also, the insulation up there is fairly old so there was a lot of death dust floating around, especially after I crawled across it. 

I did, however, find an alternative to the shitty paper dust mask:
