Tim,
Good point!
I have a run of cables that goes through each level of the house from
basement to third floor. Because it's an old house we had to drill though
sills between some of the floors, but over the years I've managed to upgrade
the cabling from 6 pair telephone cable to CAT 5e without anything more
difficult than a cable pull.
73 & Thanks!

I would strongly recomend at least one 1 inch (2 inch would be better)
in each and every (and I do Mean EVERY) room -- terminate them in a box
on the wall and cover it with a blank plate -- if it is a 2 story house
do the first floor from the bottom and the second floor from the top
(attic). If it is a 2 story, install an EASILLY ACCESSABLE central
conduit from top to bottom so you can pull network etc cables in easilly
