My fitness tracker doesn't reflect all of the times I was up and down the attic stairs, but the lines are finally in place and I was able to wire the antenna and the CAT5 data ports and finish with a plug wall plate. The data line isn't live yet, but this was the biggest part of the job. The most satisfying part is that if I decide to switch Internet providers it won't be a puzzle as to what lines run where and how to get to the point where lines enter the house. I left an old phone line that can pull a new fibre optic cable if need be.

In the bedroom on the wall opposite most of the work I took off the obsolete phone jack cover and put a simple data faceplate with a blank filling in the port. If I ever decide to put something there, that old line is inside for pulling a new data line.

This weekend I broke only one drill bit and dropped another down inside the wall cable enclosure, but got my trusty sewing pin magnet that's on a cord to fish the bit out through the junction box opening.

Several items crossed off of the list.
