New Flat - Time to install a completely overkill home network!

this video is gonna be the first of a series of videos we're gonna do something that I've sort of not done before and it's probably gonna go absolutely terribly so if you're very observant which you probably notice from this but I am in a new flat I have I've not yet moved at my old one but I bought this place so I'm moving in in a few weeks or so however I've decided to do a sort of project before I move in with all this networking equipment so as you can probably guess it's quite a overly elaborate overly complicated project that I really don't need to do but what going to be doing is installing cat6 networking throughout the police so there'll be several metal drops to each room to provide network to things like TVs PCs smart devices all that sort of stuff so I'll probably have split this video into multiple episodes because it's going to be quite a long project a lot of stuff going on so we'll just sort of take a look what we've got and we'll just have to break up two different parts so first of all let's take a look at what we've got and what we'll be installing and then we'll sort of go through the plans of what we'll be doing so now it's tickle to what we've got here to install so here we have this massive box of cat 6 cable there are 305 metres of low smoke zero halogen cat six solid core cable so that's that there they have some more stuff so this one this is a giant mouth not giant but it's a sector rack which is wall mountable so that can open up and in here I can install patch panels sweat tears and all that sort of stuff so it's a sex you and 390 ml deep so it should make makes it on the wall we'll take a look at where it's being installed later to go in the rack and then have a six-way patch panel not sorry a six-way PDU it's just a cheap one that just does normal UK plugs I've got a proper APC in the main rack but this will do for this one just goes a normal plug there so that's to go into this wall-mounted cabinet and then also have this cat6 patch panel which has 24 ports I don't think I'll use all of these but there's a decent number just IDC connections on the back and I went for this one because it also has this bar here that you can zip tie the wires to prevent them from cooling out with the IDC connectors not all the ones I was looking at had this so that's quite good to have and you see it sort of colour coding on the back so that patch panel is also gonna go in this cabinet I then also have a bunch of Keystone jacks and a bunch of modules to fit into a euro module faceplate the reason I went for a separate Keystone jacks and then separate you know module face plates it so I can have these so these are euro modules with a keystone jack in the back but it's angled slightly so you can see it sort of set in a bit and holds a Jack a 45 degree angle with a shuttle over it this means it's been it's mounted in the wall if I were to plug in a cable yeah like that the cable will be sort of faced down from the wall slightly it wouldn't stick completely out which should be a bit neater so that's why I away from for these obviously I'll also need you don't wash your face please to put these in to go in the wall I've ordered them they've arrived then DPD seem to have lost them and if I don't know what's happening with the tracking at the moment so on this chase those up because they've seem to be one missing in the delivery so they'll come later but those are the Euro modules I'm using it for now in the walls so yeah that's all the hardware have so far obviously I'm still waiting on these plates to arrive I need to come buy some back boxes I'll do that tomorrow and I've also got to buy a switch so that'll be coming later as well so we'll that'll happen down the lane first thing to do is just get all the cabling installed in the walls and we'll put the rack up later I just need the cables to be in place for now so let's take a look appear everything's going so no Here I am in the whole cupboard which has been I'll be installing that wall rack and having all the cables come back to it so up here is a sort of empty space so I'll be putting the wall rack up here and bring all the cables through the ceiling space into here unfortunate this building has concrete flooring so I won't really be able to run it under the floors so running it through the ceilings the next best option really so the rack will go up there and it's quite a good location for it because over here you can see I have all the electrical switch gear so here's the consumer unit and electric meter and all that sort of stuff and in addition to that there's also the BT master socket for the forum line we just wear my broad bangle come from so what it means is I can have my modem in the rack up here as well and connected directly into this so I want you to use any internal phone extensions I can just have it connected directly into this so in here you'll also notice there's a big hole in the ceiling that was the Laxus panel just took off a bit plasterboards were just stuck up there that was easy to hit though and that's allowed me to view up into the ceiling space to see how the building is constructed just to make sure there's space to run cables through and it's actually quite good you see some photos are too just by shoving my phone up there no but there's a concrete ceiling at the top the ceilings are dancers are they plaster board suspended from wooden joists however the joists are held on with these metal straps which means that even per here there's a joist I can still hop a cable over the joist to get around so it should be quite good so I should be fairly easy to fetch cables along so I'm not install all the cables in one run I'm gonna just do a quick one from here to the hallway and just have a port in the hole and that will let me sort of get a bit practice good quite a simple route to run across and I'll be a fairly useful port have any way in case have a printer in the hole or something so yeah well run the first cable and then we'll go from there now this definitely isn't the easiest space to film in or you can see up here yes I've drawn us a rectangle on we're just going to cut a hole so this hole will be up here all the cables going to the rack come out so I'll come up here and go down into that wall mounted rack well I'll probably then do is I'll get a little brush panel or something and put that over it just make a little bit neater so what we need to do is the first sort of cut into the wall of the whole project I'll cut out this rectangle I'm gonna try and use this plaster board salt see if it works hopefully since it's just kind of this and we'll be able to get on this project it's also worth pointing out that I've been very careful and check above here to make sure there's no electrical cables the problem is with this flat is that all electrics and I think a lot of the plumbing as well goes through the ceiling so that's not do is stab this through a wire so I have checked above this to be very careful I've also used like no contact voltage attack times just to check but you can see out this access panel there isn't anything so we should be safe to cut this out and there we go so that's quite dusty I want you to Hoover a lot in here but that is the plaster board out so there we go that is piece of removed there's no a nice big hole in the ceiling very close to joist with thankfully just mr. Joyce there so now we can continue with project now that's removed so what you're now looking at is a trail of destruction I've had to cause to create a route for this cable so then the bottom here you can see over cut it which is for the back box so that's where the actual ports will be then here you can see there's two holes that's because on the way I have encountered a fire block and had had to drill through that so they had to be secret make a hole above to put the drill through and then wasn't able to get their cable fishing rods two feet up so I had a people on below so could feed the rod into the hole and get it all the way up but no that's in place it goes all the way up to the ceiling up here in the ceiling there's a further two holes this one I'll leave me to drill up through into the roof space and this allows me to know access the top of that hole to feed wires down it so there's no a total of four holes okay five holes in the wall but at least no me for access know that all that's done the next step is gonna be to try and feed the wire so I've got some wire fishing rods as well as some fishing tape which I can use to sort of get through the roof space and get it down in the wall however I've also got this which is just literally plastic washing line so what I'll be doing is I'll be feeding this through first using the rods get that to go the full route and then I'll tie the cat sticks onto the end and pull it through which will allow me to pull this back and then add an extra runs of cat6 from the same box so next step is to try and fish this that washing line through from the cupboard like that hollom evenly covered all the way over that connection at the bottom there so that's gonna be fun I'm definitely gonna do it on camera that was just because if it's been trimmed out of film it there's not much space the weights are bigger gets in the way and it's gonna take over if I do that so I'm gonna do it off camera and I'll come back when it's done hopefully [Music] okay so we have significant progress I've excused the handheld camera it's just easy to each film this but we don't have that slot that I cut in the ceiling and be a fade up some of the washing line which is doing there it then comes up through the ceiling across the whole through this additional axis we'll have to cut just to be able to get through those extra joists that I didn't expect then it comes over here through this hole here through there and don't hit the wall until it comes out at the bottom here so we now have a full continuous piece of washing line from the cupboard through to the socket so we know all so now all I need to do is tie the cat6 onto this end and hopefully be able to pull it right way through so I'm gonna try that and we'll see how it works okay so I've no tape mcwrap sticks to the washing line as you can see here just using electrical tape and I've made sure as I've done it on the ends there's no such a sharp edge where the cat6 joins I stopped to tie it around so it's a sort of smooth almost like corn on to that so that's all fairly secure so I'm not gonna do its go over today I opened eyes for all coming out of and try and pull it through and hopefully to actually feed the cat 6 all the way through to the end okay so we're know pulled it through a bit more so hated by people best we should get their cat six there you go so that's the cat six come through along with the washing line so all I need to do is pull through more of it and feed it on the wall then do it again with the second one okay so after a ridiculous amount of effort I've never be able to pull one of the cats exits through so that's no running all the way from the cupboard through to here so I'll know who to run the second one because I want to points at this area is I'm gonna take this washing line off the cat six and then there's this huge bundle of excess it's been pulled through already so what deals is all then pull once it's on tape I'll pull the washing line back through leaving the cat sticks here and then I can take more cat six on and just use the water line to call it through again so hopefully that be quite a quick system to pull multiple runs through it to the same point so they've run the second one so say the following D and as you can see the back boxes and noodle module face plates have arrives so Laurel install the back box here ready for the faceplate to go on what I'm going to do is connect up both the ends of this cable so I'll put a faceplate on here and I'll set up the patch panel and just connect both these up just to check they work before I continue with adding more ports so if I'm gonna be using the patch panel that means we need to install the wall rack so the next thing I'll do is get that rack put up on the wall so we're now ready to make the rack so this is that's quite a nice design so what you have is this bracket here the mode to the wall and then this can hook into the back of the rack like that and then you can screw it on from the end say to stop it coming off so all I should really need to do is noting this on the wall and then hook the rack onto it it's that you're quite easy this has four screw holes or four holes to mount bolts through fasten it to the wall so that's what I'll be using let me close the plasterboard wall and there aren't really any studs that are in a good place for it I'm going to be using these which are like plus a board or drywall fixings which are rated up to 115 kilograms which is way more than enough so in theory you should just need to drill a hole push this into the wall and then screw into so hopefully these hold it it doesn't fall off but I'm gonna try and use these so next it let's try and get the right boot up so let's take a closer look at these fixings I'm using they're like this they're called grip it's they were quite expensive from being cubed but they'll didn't want the thing to fall off the walls I'd rather spend more on decent notes I'll actually hold it securely but this is the moment here so this is a bit that faces outwards and what you do is you drill a hole big enough for this to fit through and it hammer it into the wall and then you can screw in to the front here I mean you screw into it these two methyls sort of tabs at the back fold out outwards like that and grip on the plastic wertham behind and then when you screw into it pulls a whole sort of thing together and clamps the wall almost so these should be quite a good way to secure it let's put a lot of better videos on youtube if you look these up that's sure it actually how it works playing the wall but these were going to be using and then comes these massive bolts that actually winter so this should be a fairly secure way to make this rack so we need to do know is drill a big hole that sort of diameter and then mount these on the wall okay so as you can see here are they going to three out of the four fixings so it's two there one there and a final hole here to get the final fixing in so all misty let's put that final fixing in then I can put up that bracket that holds the rack okay so no man to the bracket I initially had a little sort of panic because these screw hits stick out quite a lot over who design whoever designed the rack seems to have actually thought about this and I put big cutouts in the back for the screw heads to go through so that should actually fit fine so don't worry about those another thing I forgot to mention is this up here which is a new addition it's literally just a draft excluder for the inside of a letterbox however I bought that it's screwed to the ceiling just to make a look a bit nicer and having that big up big hole up there so that's only if the cables feed through and then we can open the rack onto that so hopefully they're actually just hook onto these three hooks and hopefully not fall off the wall well that's installed anyway and it hasn't fallen down yet so that's a good thing so what I need to do now is fit the face bit on the wall and connect that up and then install the patch panel on the rack and connect that up and then test the connections and see if they work if it looks quite nice up there it's not too big I just hope it doesn't fall down okay so we have more progress now I have no installed a patch panel and why are both of those connections into the back of it and then Keystone jacks on the other end which we'll take a look at in a second and tasted it with both the continuity tester and using a pair of laptops running over it and it seems both links seem to be absolutely fine they both autumn ago she eight gigabit speeds and they can talk to each other without any errors occurring so that's really good so all know do is we're going take a look at the Keystone jacks and finally bit it on the wall and make the faceplate okay so as you can see the other end I've never cut the cable shorter and going to these two Keystone jacks these are the sort of tool lists and tape where you can just you basically put the wires until it'll guide clamp it shut and it clumps it automatically installs and cuts the insulation and all the wires which is quite neat setup I would normally bother was tool this one's heard of they were actually cheaper than the ones that you could acquire a tool so I just use them so yeah there are no installed so what I need to do now is install the metal faceplate on the wall with these sticking through and then in order to make these into the faceplate and then just need to clip on these little adapters which are there he's still into you know module adapters and I'll have them mounted in the wall so here's the faceplates a bot which are Schneider Electric ultimate flat plate the reason wait for these they were barely we're not cheap but the Platt in this flat they're currently all the sockets are just cheap plastic ones and I do plan on going random but replacing them all with nice metal ones from this same product link so I'm gonna meet the network sockets match for no they won't match any of the current sockets but when I replace everything they will saw these ones I'm installing no so they're really nice sort of brushed stainless steel and just need to put that on the wall no just need to take note that's it there and it should just go on like that so on this screw out onto the ball never come out the Euro modules and there you go the PHP is new installed so in theory only to do know it's clip these into the your module faceplates which should be fairly easy it takes a lot of force but let's put it in there we go snaps into place and then this will just slide up just slay the excess into the wall and then this you just clip into the here like that there we go so I wants to do is do the same for the second one don't go stop them the wrong way around if you open the slots up you can see maybe see in there and installed the keystone jack tops they don't so you can actually access the jack oops so I need to take these apart and reverse them and there we have it that's first set of ports installed so what no need to do is go install the rest of them so I'm not gonna film all that because a Cintiq I was but I'm just not even ever these so just sort of do it myself and I'll sort of pop in before bits as I do it so that's gonna be as fun to install the rest these so a two down 15 more to go okay so next day I've got a few more bits to install so I've got a bot some coax so about 50 metres of coax this is RG 6 so I'll be using this to run TV aerials then it also bought this distribution amplifier which I will be mounting in the whole cupboard next to the rack to amplify the TV signal to all the rooms I think I'll be returning this one and get getting a different one because this one produces a really loud sort of whiny noise when it's in use so that just gonna be really annoying so I'll return this one and get another one I'll have something similar to this motors in the whole cupboard so I'll just knowing the coax alongside the cat 6:00 to 7:00 certain points so I'll just do it all at the same time [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] and there we go so after a huge amount of effort probably took about a week of pretty much doing this full-time I've got everything installed so what will no do is we'll go in closer and take a look at what I've done so now here I am in whole cupboard you'll have to forgive the handheld camera I just can't really get a tripod in here but up here on the wall you can see we have the cabinet so we can open that up and then here you'll find the patch panel it is and there's all the connect screen at the back of it I originally said I was going to do 17 connections but I actually end up doing 21 I'll show you the extra ones of Putin later but they all go in there and this patch this cabinet will also contain the switch and more damn PUA and jet for the access point and that PDU are showed before about this we can an see up ceiling level there all the cables are all going up there through a brush plate that is literally it's a layer of box draft excluder but it was fairly cheap and i just screwed it to the ceiling and it's just a bit neater than having a big horrible hole there finally in the cupboard we then have the aerial distribution amplifier this is a similar one to the one I showed previously however this it doesn't have the functionality to power those magic eye systems for remotes but it also doesn't mean that whining noise that the previous one did so this is absolutely fine so that's it there you can see it just wall-mounted and all the cables come down through individual holes in the ceiling into the side of it then there is connect with F plugs so for the N P on the top and then a connection at the bedroom office and living room on the right hand side it goes it over this rg6 coax so that's all fairly neat the only thing I haven't been able to do is because of forest I'm doing this in your Christmas time it seems impossible to get any electrician boot so there isn't a sock installed in this coverage yet well it's a bit limiting so I can't actually power any of this kit without running an extension lead out to the hole so I'll just have to cope with that temporarily until I can finally get an electrician in but once I do I'll get a double socket put in here as well as once people hang the TVs and that will be much better actually have a socket your to power everything see ya that is a whole cupboard so although it is we'll go and take a look at all the sockets I've put in the rooms so now here we are in the room designated as the office which is where I'll have my main PC and stuff so what include the connections installed here you can also see on the wall there's a lot of holes all over the place these were required to make access horse to get cables fade I'll be filling most of these in but there's a few I'm going to keep such as the ones up in the ceiling there because I've got here it's an electrician to put a socket in and I may as well leave access holes because if they're going to need access holes to run the mains cables the socket they can probably use those ones rather than having to make extras so I'll be leaving those ones up at the ceiling for now until I get the operation in but I will need to fill the rest of them but no let's take a look what we have so down here on the wall these are additional auxiliary sockets there isn't any anything in front of this so these will just be sort of spear if I'm doing something or working on a project so we've got to the network sockets there down here we've got another two this is where my desk will be sitting so these will be connected directly to my main PC and there's just two there because when I've been doing this I've just been running two cables to every point because it's almost as easy as running one so there's no real point not running two so those little center of my PC then higher up the wall this is a little bit of TV so there'll be a wall-mounted TV in our sort of arm that sticks out a little bit where we've got a TV erial connection going to that distribution amplifier and a pair of network connections because it's a smart TV so it can plug in for the smart functionality and there's another one there and kiss i've got like a little mini pc or something to hide behind it so that's up there so that there's the office so there's sex network connections in here and a TV area of connection so now here I'm in the bedroom and we can see there's another connection up here so this is gonna be for the TV in the bedroom and like in the office it's a peer network connections because it's a smart TV and there will be a mini PC behind this one and we've got another just regular Ariel connection because that amplifier and that's before obviously a socket putting beside that so that's the connection in the bedroom so here we are in the hole we were like connection actually installed on video which is this one down here so we just got a pair of connections in the hole these were installed more as a test rather than many things so they're not actually urgently required but I might have a printer here or something so they're handy to have and we can't see here actually is in this room I've already actually filled in the holes on the wall so you'll see from before where there's all those holes I had to make and here you basically can't see them so filling them in definitely works you can't really see any damage which is nice so that's those two connections there and now in the hole there's one more connection and this is up on the ceiling so this is going to be for the access point so I've not actually put a port like a faceplate on this because yeah this point will cover it it's what there is is there just one of the Keystone jacks just sitting on the cable and then this back box so what I can do is I can screw the unify access point into that back box I'll plug it into this and just stuff all the excess cable into the back box it's not the quite nice that'll fix it into ceiling quite neatly so because I'm not actually moved in and move the access point over that just sitting empty but that's where the access point will go so know Here I am in the living room we've got the TV mounting so that's the bracket there for the TV which I've taken down so we can see this up here we can see what Facebook we've got so this has slightly more than the other rooms so we've still got the two Ethernet ports one of us the Smart TV there won't actually ever be a smart box behind this but again it's really easy to run two cables so there is a second port there just in case and then we have some more stuff so we've actually got the TV connection we had before there but at the top here it was also a satellite connection because it's TV has a built-in satellite receiver so I put that on there and then finally we have an HDMI port so the video hope you of my AV receiver to be delivered straight to the TV that's before it'll be a double socket going in here and also in the room because I've got the speakers they actually go through these so I've just got some basic just speaker wire sticking through holes in the wall at several points are in the room here so there's one there there's another one over there another one over here and then to over towards the back of the room which you probably can't see kamsani too far away there you go all just sticking out the wall so they'll have wall-mounted speakers connected to them for the sort of surround sound system I've got and yeah that's the TV set up in the living room it's a quite neat use having these little face plates there's just no mace everything plug straight into that and if I take the TV off the wall there's no wires it's just a socket sitting on the wall now here we are in the corner of the living room where my rack will be so because the rat is going here it will have all my network hardware as well as all the Viet Minh so there's now a ton of different ports around here that go around the place so we have this one here for TV type distribution this one here for speakers and this one here for network so we'll go in and take a look at each of these so here we have the faceplate for network which has four connections in it these will be going to the switch that's in here in the rack here and linking up the switch they'll be in the whole cupboard and I'll just pick a creating a sort of link aggregated group across these just for better performance so that's why there's four connections there and obviously the white sockets that came with place don't match any of these nice brushed faceplate some piece again but I'll be replacing all these sockets with new brushed ones later so eventually all the sockets will match which if I went for these face plates so that will be being replaced on the line so now in this wall you can see valve quite interesting looking face plates for TV and a/v stuff so on the right hand side we have ones for speakers but you can see are all labeled sort of front right front left centre thrown right surround left and you just plug each speaker and so the front right speaker connects into this one and this one here these are quite nice module so you can either unscrew their surround their feed a wire in and screw it on or it can be putting banana plugs into the front which is what I'll be doing then on the back you can just sort of screw a wire into it so they're quite neat little things so that goes off to all the speaker connections are in the room so now on the left here we have this faceplate that does all the AV stuff so the first module you can see here has TV radio and two satellite connections this is known as a quad Plex module and it's what the system in this building requires what they do is they deliver there's two coax cables into the flat one of them carries a single satellite fees the other one has multiple signals multiplexed onto it so that one cable carries TV the radio and this and one of their satellite connections and because of different frequencies that works so what this fix play here does is it splits them all out from that one cable so you get each individual connection for each type of device and signal that's roughly what the flat originally came with it originally had one of these on the wall this one on the wall which has the same thing it's got the two satellite connections TV and FM da B it also had the return connection which wasn't actually used and a very helpful analog for an extension so this is what it came with it's not the most attractive thing ever so I've wrapped that out in a place it was like a lot nicer so that's the Ariel and pou here next up we have these two where we have SATs TV and TV return so SATs TV very self-explanatory it connects a satellite connection up the TV so behind the TV there is that satellite connection the other end of that comes out to here so what I'm just need to do to make that work it's a bit a simple F plug cable between that connection there and one the satellite connections here and that feeds a signal up to the TV TV returns a similar idea what you do is you put a TV kit after our aerial cable between the TV port here and then this here and then the other end of this connection goes all the way over to the distribution amplifier so you plug these into each other that feeds a signal to this to the distribution amplifier which then in turn feeds a signal out to all the TVs around the place and then finally we've got this HDMI port here which is just straight usually my cable that goes up to this HDMI port behind the TV so this will be going to my AV receiver so all in all it's quite a neat setup so effectively means there's no wires trailing out of walls if I need to move the rack out of the way I just unplug all from everything here shift out it's not like I'm gonna have like a brush plate with lots of cables coming out so it's quite a neat setup so yeah that's all the connection paint the rack tasting the TV distribution I found that all channels work absolutely fine and plug directly into the incoming faceplate however after connecting this TV through the distribution amplifier I found that many of these channel started to break up and it was completely unwatchable I experienced a boat with this I found that the incoming signal to the flat is quite weak and simply doesn't survive the length of cable from the incoming point out to the distribution amplifier the solution to this was to buy a lame powered masthead amplifier this is designed to go on an aerial mast while it's the tooth is out of its waterproof enclosure and installed it inside the wall behind the face place in the living room this amplifier is powered by the distribution amplifier and Hall cupboard so it doesn't need a separate power supply this efficiently boosts the signal so that it can survive the trips in the distribution amplifier which then boosts the signal again stains out to the rooms after doing this previously on Marvel's or absolutely perfectly in the living room there's also these two connections here which doesn't have a faceplate that's just cat 6 cables there will just be another dual faceplate on there these were ones I decided to run after I'd originally ordered all the equipment so I didn't actually have any faceplate so still gotta go in order some so that's not as you finished yet but those be a Joule Ethernet phase play there the reason I put that there which is because I was already running cables around this corner of the room and needed that access hall so because there's only an access hole cut in the ceiling it doesn't then take much more effort to drop a cable down into the wall so I thought it means well have it there and it could be handy if they ever put something in this corner or from sitting on the couch over here I could then you know what a cable repel laptop or something so it made sense to put those in and then no time for the more ridiculous connection it's just because I was on this side of the wall cutting a port in it doesn't n take much more effort to put another two in here so here and there in the kitchen of all places but though here you can see there's another two network connections behind my kitchen bin which it's completely pointless but I suppose I can maybe get sort of a saw NAS device or something which could then be handy so yeah there's two connection on the living room wall here and further to through in the kitchen because reasons yeah so yeah those will be terminated but that's lose there the living room really does show how many holes I've had to make those make this work so there's an access hole there then other one here which actually shows this year a bundle of cables going through the rim so that's all network connections as well as a couple of collapses for the aerials which all goes through here is in another access hole here I had to use to get over a joist no one down there another one here four speakers there's one over there above the window two more in that corner there [Music] two above the TV and another two over there so there's an absolute ton of holes in here that I need to fill in so this room probably got off the worst for it because it's just such a long run round the room and the difficulties you can't really pull the cables diagonally past the joists because it gets caught on those metal ties so you have to pull it like a long one wall gets a corner and then pull it along the other way you can't just run it diagonally across the room so there's definitely a lot of holes here to fill in however I have done some of them and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out for example on this wall here up here there's not a speaker connection there was actually a hold at ceiling level and a hole on the wall and you can't even really see them I mean there's you can still see the ceiling because not actually even painted but yeah it's basically completely disappear so it's not gonna look bad once it's done it's just gonna be a lot of force to fill in what lights you've been doing is you see there's a number next to that every bit of plaster board I've taken out of numbered and then put a number next to the hole so I can make sure I get the right bits back in the right holes so that's what system I came up with yeah that's the she removed a masive had to make in the living room so there you have it that was sort of look at my first big DIY project I've done in this flat we have installed networking and aerial wiring throughout it's definitely turned out pretty well I have really no experience in this I'm a complete novice but actually everything went okay without any major catastrophes of not you know the rack hasn't fallen off the wall yeah and there's you know no sooner in thats my benchmark for success is that the ceilings didn't fall down but yeah it's gone quite nicely so this will be the end of this video I've started you got to move in here so what I'll do is once I've actually moved in and actually got everything set up and actually working I'll do another video and sure how the actual mate was all connected everything actually running so that'll be the next video but that's the end of this video and you can see how things done so yeah thank you very much for watching and standby for the second part where we see everything actually up and running
