Laid in pipe conduit and got wiring.              That was the sparky's method when we had our (1830-ish, solid brick        walls) house rewired a few years ago -- smash out channels in the        bricks, lay the cables, plaster over ... and hope the walls still have        the strength to hold the roof on.              Fortunately we had CAT-6 cables (and some coax TV aerial cables) as well        as mains power put in, so most of what we want works more-or-less where        we want it.              --        Cheers,        Daniel.              --- PyGate Linux v1.5.2        * Origin: Dragon's Lair, PyGate NNTP<>Fido Gate (3:633/10)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 134 200 206 275 300 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 616 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/10 280 414 418 420 422       SEEN-BY: 633/509 2744 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 633/10 280 229/426           |
