My two cents: As a homeowner and resident of Minneapolis, living in a 115 yr old house I have found out the following: you do need to pull a permit for wiring, you do not need to be a contractor to do so (homeowner can pull electrical permits) You can preform the work yourself you do not have to have the work inspected. This applies to standard wiring only, AFAIK no permit required for rewiring phone service. Basic assumption equates phone wiring with network wiring. And, no, I refrained from pulling a permit to rewire my house, but then again I also refrained from stringing cat5. I think I'll go wireless when time dictates necessity. -- -Kevin Hinze rudie at sihope.com | rudie at fastcomputers.tv http://fastcomputers.tv "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." - Carl Jung
