but seriously running the ethernet here is like the job i'm most dreading now out of all the remaining jobs prior to moving in.

i need to.

• figure out an ingress point in summer house that makes sense but won't interfere with wall placement when i get to building out my office
  
• install external box with 2 glanded flex steel pvc conduit runs to trench.
  
• fit another glanded junction box on back of house (on top of cladding)
  
• drill hole through cladding and wall large enough to run 2x cat 6a (armour sheath removed) cables into another box on the inside which will house 2 cat6a inline connectors linked to indoor cat6a cable
  
• run indoor cat6a cable under skirting in living room then drop it under floor boards in dining room and have it come up under the stairs.
  
• fit double socket to terminate the cables so i can patch from there into my switch.
  
  

I also need to run phone extension wire around front of house, into external box, then i'm running conduit from the back of the box under the front room floorboards to under the stairs into a second master socket (latest sockets support a direct data extension like this with secondary a&b point in the socket to extend from ) this will also be how I get fibre into the house when it gets switched on in our road next year, i'll dig a small trench through the flowerbed and they'll just be able to pop the cable up into the box and feed it through no drilling or tearing up carpets.

speaking of we're booking all of our carpet fitting in about 2 hours to happen in about 2 weeks so i have to finish decorating and do all this by then.
