Ditto with Jim, when everything is wireless conflicts arise. Streaming Netflix wireless on a TV combined with a wireless x-box, add 4 wireless PC's & 4 wireless phones. Things start to slow down & disconnect. Had to hard wire the X -box, TV may be next.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions, looks like my list just grew! Never really gave any thought to the various wireless signals causing an issue and/or slowing down speeds so better safe than sorry as it is a heck of a lot easier to run some wires now as opposed to later!
As for the Christmas lights, well given the roof peaks I really do not see lights on the gutters as I would need a JLG to accomplish that and while I certainly like the idea of using a one it is not in the Christmas budget! That being said, I wil have multiple outdoor outlets on the house as I know lights will be out there.....but let's face it, I am not in charge of that, I am just the labor! Well, off to backfill, should have some good pics later. |

Definitely a good idea- even if lightning never strikes, the surges and dips can really shorten appliance/device life. If anyone knows someone who replaces appliances and electronics at an inordinate rate and it's because they fail, not because they want better performance, this is probably why. Also, suppression at the location of sensitive electronics (anything with microprocessors) is needed- the surges may be blocked at the panel but when lightning strikes nearby, it can still cause surges inside the building.

jski- speaking of lightning, are you using lightning rods?

I did about 2000' speaker wire 3000' Cat 6a 2000' of RG6 The Cat 6a vs Cat 6 is a higher capacity wire....but that's about all I know. I do know it can also be used for phone wire. It's just shielded real well. The RG6 I got should be solid core (like JimN suggested) and also quad shielded. I ran everything myself and it did take some time and effort. Just get a label maker and label each wire as you go. If you do run speaker wire, try and keep those from running parallel with one another and also you don't want them parallel with your A/C wire. Just try and keep everything separated if possible. If you do cross, cross at 90 degrees to avoid "cross talk" from wires. I have a ton of wires but it wasn't too expensive because I did it all myself. The speaker wires I suggested are also a little thicker than typical installers, and it's also rated for being in walls.

Now, a completely different subject, water.
Are you doing a well and are you going to treat it? That's where I'm at right now and getting pretty confused on my options. Kinetico, traditional, ???
