Onward with weekends!

Back to working on the house again. I now have the entertaining prospect of pushing a fish tape up through something like 10 feet of wall with dense fiberglass batt in it. This has come about simply because I'm too darn tall to be creeping about in an attic crawl space close to the eaves, which appears to be where the coax feeds to the rest of the house finally feed down to the box where cable comes into the house. Some creative solutions have been offered by SWMBO, which I'm seriously considering. Not the worst plan I've ever heard, and I'd give it about a 90% chance of success, provided I can find one of the pieces of existing coax up there and use it AS a fish tape to pull the real fish tape up, and then use the real to haul down the new run AND the old cable, and the piece of Cat6 I need to run from there up to the attic, over the vaulted ceiling, and down to where the router is. So...much...fun. I really need to get it done, because that attic space is already a solar powered sauna after about 1pm, and the weather isn't going to be getting cooler any time soon. Blown insulation. Convenient to install, pain in the rear to deal with after the fact. Sorely tempted to take the parts for my dust collection system and repurpose them briefly to suck all that junk out of there, and then just deal with regular batt type insulation. That would also make it a lot easier to see what is up there and put appropriate walking around paths up there, on the off chance I have to go up there to run cable to yet another room. I see lots and lots of 3/4 inch plywood in my future, and much quality time with a circular saw. Kind of need to do that anyhow to make that space usable for storage. I think I've rambled on long enough. On the bright side, I didn't hurt myself too badly this weekend. A few minor scrapes from running into some non-structural pieces that were left from when the house was constructed. A few minutes with a hand saw and a hammer took care of those. Until next time, stay safe, everyone.
