The Terminator was just at our house! Wouldn't have minded if Arnold had come to visit but this terminator was Tanner. Bill had run all the CAT-5 wiring in the office. This is for phones, computers, and the printer. We had wire sticking out of the walls and needed the plugs. Between Bill and I; we can do a lot of things but this is a job we do not do. Couldn't find anyone that does this job. Finally got smart and figured out what they are called so I was able to google and find someone. I know this is a very special job but this company wanted $150 an hour. We will pay what ever it takes but this seemed a little high to us. There are 15 wires that need to be terminated. We are having this person get what needs to be done in the future Media center in the kitchen and verify that everything is connected the right way in the mechanical room also. They figured it would take 2-3 hours.
$150 an hour! Oh, wait did I ever ask our IT guy if he knows someone? Went through my emails to Shannon and saw that I had never asked him for a referral. That wasn't very smart was it? When you have someone in the know ask them first. Sure enough he knows someone who does this as a side job. They work together in the IT department at the Capital. Called Tanner and he is $50 an hour. Pretty good money as an extra job and worth every penny.
Now we have pretty plugs waiting for the office to be finished.
This was a surprise, we weren't expecting something this size. We were thinking house not office. Wired and ready to work. Just need to get everything else done.
