I terminated several wires in my house wiring project, but I'm out of jacks so I'll pick up more tomorrow. This is a modular system, those Leviton plugs and plates and a little punch to push the wires into the slots. I'm doing data ports and phone jacks in some of the rooms; a few of the phone jacks weren't great connections so they're being replaced and I'm adding data ports at the same time since I can pull the wires together and terminate them in the same face plate, and where there is an existing old wire I can use it to pull the new ones. I have a couple of coaxial cables to replace also. The old cables installed with the house aren't shielded the way the new ones are.

We have cold weather here now and I have only a few pair of long pants that fit, so I'm banking on this diet getting me into more of my "normal" sized jeans. This climbing up and down to the attic isn't terribly strenuous, so hopefully our weather will clear up enough that I can mow the lawn (great workout) or walk the dogs longer.
