Way hey! After much aggravation I’ve managed to rewire my internal phone network at home to move the DSL downstairs since the spare bedroom is now being turned into a nursery. In the end it was very simple; isn’t it always? But the pain was in trying everything first before checking that an existing, BT installed cable actually worked! Anyway it all works now and it’s all nicely cabled up and pegged down so that’ll please Louise.

In doing the job I need to drill a hole through a double thickness cavity wall (it used to be an external wall) so I hired a SDS drill and very long drill bit to do the job. £700 worth of drill did the job in less than 2 minutes, though I still had to hire it for the whole day! Then the decorator comes in and says: “Oh, you could’ve borrowed mine”!

Just got to wait for the new desk now, should be here on Saturday, so more DIY fun to follow.
