fiogf49gjkf0d It looks like Captain Wayne version of really "EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION" without Ty Pennington and the gang.
That's the first thing that came to my mind.

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, it was more than just data wiring - I ran (3) CAT5 and (3) COAX to every room in the house. I now also have a patch-panel (MDF) in the laundry room - you can patch any CAT5 to be a any phone line or LAN - and you can make any COAX satellite or cable. Or any combination of the above.
My estimates are close, but if off, it's usually low - there's always some hitch and the occasional run off to the lumber yard or Home Depot.

fiogf49gjkf0d re-run data wiring? I hope the tenants appreciate it! Now a-days many folks just use wireless.
How close were you on your time estimates?
You're pretty handy!

fiogf49gjkf0d I'm glad I didn't have that much work to do on my place before I put it on the market. A bit of plumbing and a ceiling repair.... quick paint job and that was it. Probably 20 hours total.
