Kurt:
I was faced with wiring my new home last year; but as it is a 2 story
with high ceilings I decided to go wireless. I was a General Contractor
for 20 years as certainly wasn't opposed to running any wires, but the thought
of having every inch of my house wired sounded quite appealing. I have not looked
back since and would not even bother with the cost of Cat5 in any future projects.

Just something to think about.
