Hi Ed!

Long time no read!

 EV> Barry, While reading what you and Ky talking about home wiring

 EV> upstairs I removed

 EV> for the coax to
 EV> come out along the edge of that telephone jack mounting plate so
 EV> it would be
 EV> ran out of the doorway and up into the folding attic stairs

Ages ago I also followed a telephone run from the basement to up here on
the second floor: follows the sewer stack.   Dropped a weighted nylon 
string down; looped and brought back up.  (Probably could have dropped 
the loop originally but didn't occur as was going to be a one-time 
addition.)  

So the stack now has a coax for the TV antenna, 20 A electric, seems 
like one or two other.   The multiconductor low voltage run is 
elsewehere.


 EV> Liked your 12345678 Password, Even I could make sense of it

I should use that for the Guest Network!

Because had the drumsticks.
