I purchased a Mattamy in 2004 and will be moving into phase 13 in Jan 2006. I recently started my own computer consulting company One Wired Mouse as a side project. We offer a full range of services for home and small business.

We recently go onboard with Dell and are offering less then retail pricing on most of Dell products.

Also, I was just in my house with permission from the builder to run structured wiring (Video,Phone,Data,Audio) through out the house. I had no problem getting permission which I have been reading is not the norm for mattamy.

If you find out your pre-insulation post-electrical date and your looking for this type of service drop me an email or give me a call.

Hi, I am lot 80, assume you are on Barr as well???

I do IT consulting on the side as well.

Just wondering, when you did your network drops, did you use a punchdown panel and if so, where did you put it? In your furnace room?

I am thinking about doing my whole house and phones Cat6 and possibly using IP phones.....

Matt

Matt,

I ran the cable beside the eletrical panel which is in the furance room. I left about 10 feet of slack so i can locate the punch down anywhere i want as the furnace is not installed yet.

You can drop anywhere you want if you know what you are doing. Slack is _always_ a good thing if it's available.

Depending on how the house is wired, I tend to roll up some slack and tack it to the concrete board and then punch it down into a panel or cap it off with RJ45s (depending on what was required).

Mattamy homes are standard with a giant loop of cat3 wire run around the house to service all the phone jacks. Tiffanypark, Falconcrest, Coscorp and a couple of other builders are standard with home run cat5e dropped in the basement from each jack in the house. This is good for people who want to run a network connection around their house.

My own house is wired with a lot of cat5e, a 48-port patch panel, and a 24-port gig switch all racked up. Half the panel is for telephone so I can patch the ports around the house easily to network or phone. Standardizing on TIA568A makes things nice too.

I used to do a lot of this commercially and now do it in new homes after closing (so I don't get arrested or sued by the builder :)
