I am going to get the attic insulation & they are going to blow it in while I am at work today. We got all the closets done & last night I got all the phone jacks & GFI recepts put in. My fingures are sore.

 

[al6517]

Well it sounds like you got allot done, yes that romex can be tough on the fingers if you do a bunch of them. Are you getting the white poly blow in insulation ??, it's much easier to work with.

AL

 

[Sooner]

Yes the blow in but not sure what the color is. Using the fiberglass.

I did several by the time I did the phone's & the GFI's. I have to have lesson's on the double one's today so I can finish. I'm sure I am entertainment for the guys at work but i am getting it done.

 

[al6517]

Did you run the regular 4 wire telephone cable or blue Cat 5 network cable ??.

AL

 

[Sooner]

Cat 5

I had a fun time because we had two different brands & the colors got me. Hopefully they are all right & the phone will work.

 

[al6517]

LOL that's why I was asking cause I know Cat 5 can be a bear to crimp the connectors just right. Those little colored wires drive me nut's, but it is the best choice for speed & data.

AL

 

[Sooner]

No crimping for me thank goodness, I just had to use the correct color pairs to wire to the phone jack & mount it on the wall.

 

[al6517]

Oh Ok then you should be good, I was just wondering if you were wiring room to room for networking from a internet modem, That takes some special skills cause you have to do some reversing of colors and such................ by custom making your own jumpers what a pain that is.

Al - Are you trying to get Carl on here so he can speak your language with you....LOL

Sooner - Im sure everything will work fine. Its not that hard to fix if something is crossed wrong.
