    $6.99/5’ of cable. A weekend of manual labor running cable through my walls.

    Or $300 for something I can set-and-forget.

    Decisions, decisions.

      $300 in labor is wildly optimistic and true for a simple cable run, maybe

      If run probably even a “short” run will typically be at least 20ft. Think, from a wall plate, up an 8ft wall, across a crawl space, down another 8ft wall.

      Not all cable runs are simple
