ttocsneb wrote about their plans to run Ethernet through the house. Running wire through the wall is a complete pain! I've heard a chain is a great way to pull calbe from the attic up, and I've used cable fishing lines before for smaller jobs. Even used speaker wire for a recent project haha.
I got lucky in my house that the phone jacks found in each room were actually wired with Cat5e, all going to a central location in the basement. Was easy enough to replace with RJ45 keystone jacks. I did have to run new cable through to the garage for my PoE security cameras though. Went up through from the basement, through a joist and terminated with 2 keystone jacks. I still have to run one to the back patio though, and I've been dreading that job. Will probably have to drill through my siding and exterior wall to run the cable into the basement. I hate making permament changes 'ya know?
Either way, good luck with your project ttocsneb! And for everyone else, check those old phone jacks for Cat5e cable!
