[NCC] Through Wall suggestions

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

 At our old house in Cleveland Heights (1976-1987) I cut a hole in the wall to the second floor hamshack room, and inserted a piece of 2" PVC pipe to run the coaxes through. Kept it stuffed with steel wool and other sealant to keep the critters and cold out.

When we moved, I put a PVC cap over both ends. 

I the current house there was an opening which had previously been used to fill the oil tank, long since abandoned in favor of natural gas. PVC pipe through that hole as well.

I do include a 90 degree elbow outside, with bottom half removed to allow better access to the pipe, to shield from rain.

I am getting new siding and would like suggestions on how you guys run your
coax through the outside wall. I would like to make this neat if possible.

 

Thanks.
