Legality: Was Comcast/etc....

[hanasaki]

Sure did after $50 and a conversation about the liabilities of knowingly 
installing a loose cable to trip over accross the middle of a floor in a 
common living area.

A freind helped me install the outlets in the first floor walls in 6 
hours <5 of them with Cable TV/Phone/CAT 5e>.  6 hours and $300 in 
equipement later I had what 3 contracting companies told me would take 
2-3 poeple 3 days to do and cost $2000 in equipment and $1000 in labor 
with no cap on labor costs and no network component / topology layout.
