This and that

On the weekend I finished the network cabling, including threading one cable through the conduit I had installed. I used fencing wire as a feeder which I then taped CAT6 to so I could pull it back through the conduit. Thinking about putting in some speaker wires for surround sound -- how many channels does surround sound have these days?

I also finished taping clear plastic over the windows to protect from mortar and render. That took a lot of time. Don't know if it was a waste of time or not.

Finally, I bought a roll of foil builder's wrap to try to put under the roof. I know it would have been easier to put this on before the roof, but that would have made roofing impossible. It really needs to be put on by the roofers, but Coneheads wanted $2000 to do that. Anyway, I managed to get one 3m piece up on the inside and now I know how NOT to do it -- it's bloody hard work. I could really do with some sort of platform up there to stand on. Thinking about buying some MDF sheeting to cut up and lay down as a moveable catwalk.

Nuff said.
