My sister is coming to live with me for a few months starting in June. I will detail more of this in upcoming posts. One of the things I had to do to prepare is make sure she is able to work on her computer via a direct plug-in to a modem. She works from home and will use my upstairs home office /bedroom as her Command Central. The problem is that room didn't have a phone jack for my current modem to plug into (it's been plugged in DOWNstairs in my bedroom's phone jack).
So a call with Verizon to install a new jack upstairs was in order.
We figured the best place to put it was on the wall with the shelving unit behind the desk since there's an electrical outlet close by.

The technician had to drill right through the wall, through the sheetrock and outside shingles, and run the cord across the outside wall, down the corner of the house, and into the basement to join the main phone lines. All fine...except the cord was WHITE and it looked pretty ugly against the dark blue trim of the house.
Luckily I still had a small bit of the blue exterior paint to cover the wire. Now you can't see it at all. Problem solved and read for Sis to move in!
