  • On a separate note, the place I'm hopefully buying has been wired with ethernet cable. I'd quite like to put some stuff in the cupboard under the stairs but there's no ethernet socket there. However, the wires do run through there so I assume it would be possible to snip into one of those and connect a couple of plugs and add a switch?

    Also, when I've previously wired up an ethernet plug I remember it being a real fiddly bastard of a job which I wouldn't really fancy doing in a cupboard with a limited length of wire. Any suggestions on how to make it a bit easier?

  • Identify a socket that runs through the cupboard.
    Disconnect the cable from the socket and tape on a length of new cable.
    Pull the old cable back into the cupboard, dragging the new cable there.
    Terminate old cable for the switch.
    Connect new cable to the switch and socket
