I'm about to put in quite a bit of cabling (cat5 & speaker) around our house, and i've been looking for some case-study ideas on how best to approach it.
I'm fixed on the hardware, and indeed have various cables running around the house already - 2 cat5's running up the outside wall of the house into the attic where my two servers are located; and networking into our study, next door to the node0 (which is in the understairs cupboard)....
My next task is to link my newly bought media centre with the TV in the lounge. Now it's only about 10 foot from the cupboard to the lounge wall, but i've got to get over a door, and through a partly bricked inner wall (the study used to be the kitchen which is why I think the bottom half of the walls are brick)....
On the most part the walls are stud, but I'm just looking for some advice on how best to run the cables through the walls without causing too much damage.... can anyone suggest a good way of doing this?
