Thankful for good tools.

Finally bought a tone generator and tracing wand to find the cable from the bedroom at one end of the house to the cable TV entry point at the other end of the house. Cable was all run when the house was built, and not one of the previous owners saw fit to use the cable already there, and ran new cable from a dish along the outside of the house, entering through the soffit vents to get to the walls inside. Messy installation of those new cables, which I'll probably have to be removing, because they're a tripping hazard as they are right now up in the attic space. They're also unsightly on the outside of the house. The Sonicrafter is a wonderful tool for making holes in drywall because it leaves a very narrow kerf that is easily filled with drywall compound. Have to install a junction box in the wall in the master bedroom, which is the only room that didn't have TV cable run to it. Made a small hole in the wall we've decided the TV is going to be against and fished new cable up through the wall. Going to get the walkie-talkies out of the camper so that any more of that sort of thing doesn't become another exercise in frustration. Getting to the right location in the attic to run the fish tape down is one thing, trying to have an assistant hear you and you hear them by yelling back and forth through the attic access is something else altogether. Was a bit frazzled by the end of the day. Cable running is a work in progress, as the spool is on the floor, and about 100 feet have been pulled up into the attic space. Not cutting it loose from the spool until I've gotten the other end of it down to the cable TV entry point. No ACME wire stretcher in my toolbox. Going to be a very busy President's Day weekend. So...much...fun? At least I'm getting stuff done. Probably going to manage to get the dog door put through the wall as well. That's going to be...interesting. Going to talk some more with the neighbor regarding a new fence and side gate. That's all for now.
