Hey everyone, need some help running some cables.
First one is I am moving my adsl router into my meter cupboard so it is as close to my main phone point as possible, I am then going to run some cat5 cable up the wall into one of the front rooms, getting it into this room isnt a problem as there is already a huge hole where all the electric cables run up.
I need to then get the cable into the room beside it, I thought it would be a case of lifting the floorboards and running it into the room but not 100% sure on this as the floorboards seem very long and actually go under the wall?
The floorboards run from the front of the house to the back so I would assume the joists run the other way, the cable only needs to run about 1 meter from one front room into the other front room.
There is no issue with the wiring itself and fitting the network points etc as I have done this many times but have never ran cables around a house like this before.
I also need to get power to my garage, I was thinking of running some twin and earth cable from my boiler house with a plug on one end and a socket on the other, power will be mainly for lights and small devices like a heat gun, drill etc although potentially I will want to run a compressor and at some point down the line a welder, I would assume for the compressor and welder I would need to get some proper power sorted out but in the mean time will the twin and earth suffice?
Any help or advice on how to do this would be appreciated.
