Progress on the *Other* Abandoned Project

Astute readers of this blog know in conjunction with the bathroom remodel, I started a modest project to set up a wired home network, mostly in the basement.

As with the bathroom, it got abandoned. But today after I had to stop laying tile because it wasn't going to stick to the wall if I piled any more on top, I got back to that project and actually got the last of the cat6 wire strung through the ceiling.

The one neat hole in the ceiling is for a can light I've got to replace the mess of a light that's on the wall. I don't know why they made that choice to begin with, except for maybe the can lights of the 1980s were pretty massive. The one I'm putting in is an LED and is pretty compact.

I did make a bit of a mess:

I'm not a complete noob, though. After I got the wire strung, I got out the vacuum and really cleaned things up, including the study which was turning into a dust bunny haven.
