Point of No Return
Allright… all you fuckers who said I could do this home improvement stuff… you’d better be right…
On a related note… jeezus, no wonder the stud finder seemed confused…
On a somewhat related note, I’ve just realized that I haven’t seen one single telephone jack anywhere in the house. I mean I realize they’re mostly an anachronism at this point, but still, you’d think someone would have put one in sometime in the last 70 years. I have seen telephone wire running through the basement. I guess they must have just decided to seal ‘em up when they remodeled the place six years ago .. but how many people had already completely given up the land lines six years ago? And, um, what if I decide to switch to DSL? I’m trying to decide if I should go ahead & install a phone jack while I’ve got the wall open anyway, just on that off chance.
Ha ha, I actually ripped out all the telephone wire in the kitchen and dining room when I moved in here because they were unsightly and I don’t have a phone. I kept the ones in the bedrooms, though. In case I need to call 911, I guess even though there’s not a phone hooked up.
Run it all! Telephone, internet and cable jacks - You’ll be glad you did. Might as well put in a wall safe with a opening that big…
Yes! In case there’s ever a major power problem and your cell phone is dead, you’ll need an analog phone with a good old-fashioned jack to plug it into.
Good luck with the home improvement. Remember, it’s good to keep a spare lesbian around just in case.
That is very odd about no phone jacks. We have them, but don’t have service.
Allright, y’all talked me into it. Actually there was a sub-discussion, I was also trying to decide if I wanted to run some cat-5 for old fashioned (ha!) hard wired ethernet. So when I saw a dual RJ45/RJ12 face plate at Lowe’s, I figured it was an omen : )
Sigh… of course I’ve just committed myself now to cutting open the walls in the rooms I want to connect *to*, or there won’t be much point…
