Hey Guys,
In the midst of buying a 1930 4 bed house. One of the first jobs I want to try and do before we decorate is to fully network each room with Cat6. I am looking to chase the walls (foot from ground), lay the cable, punch down and terminate myself, but get someone in to plaster the walls after my woefully poor chasing. I was also looking to have 4 cat6 points in each room, with the idea of future proofing for possible hdmi over cat 6 at some point. I am also going to have Unifi Wireless throughout the house ceiling mounted so that cabling would be easy (All first floor carpet is coming up so should not be too hard.)
Has anyone tried a job like this before? As we have so much going on, should I just get someone in to chase the walls for me - I have never done it. Also any possible issues with my plan? I have laid cables before, but never to this size scale. I am also quite worried it is too big a job for me, and thinking about getting outside help.. Is this possible for 1 man??
Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Nick
