Jan, 7, 12. a full week into the New year!!

Yep, a full week gone by and so far, at least here, no one has come along to screw it up...!!  Probably shouldn't have mentioned that, 'cause sure nuff some one will huh?

Popped awake this morning with a clear picture of how this cabling replacement and new install is going to happen. IF I can keep it clear in my mind, I can get it done.   One wire runs under the house to the front porch and I may just pull in an extra out there and add in a camera aimed in a different direction than the front door. Also going to add one out back so I can better monitor the cats when they get in the "jungle" around the tree and hide.
First step is to move the small table that holds the monitor plumb ass outta the way so I can get in behind on that wall.

Here's one of the cams and the wire bundle that has to be installed. 

And there is the area where it's all going to be put once it's cleaned off

As for cutting the access hole through the wall ..   of course a pilot hole first to make sure I miss the studs, ( my walls are 6' thick so got to keep it level and straight)  Then one of my fancy hole saws  once from each side  should do the trick.  AND I can use the next size hole saw to cut  a scrap piece of vinyl  patch that will attach with silicone caulk! I decided to bring the wires in the side wall instead of from beneath for ease of access. ( I can't get down and under like I could when I put in the first set)
Anyone interested in these ole 4-B&W cameras and monitor?   Come get em and they're  yours!! Serious.. free for nuthing, just get em gone!

So after my normal morning routine and enough coffee,, PROJECT!!  ( with pictures if I remember)

Lunch Break, noonish. Decided to work out front for a bit, cause it’s the longest cable runs AND it not as windy cold out there!  That worked out good, was able to tie onto the old cable and pull in the two new ones!  Added an additional  camera on front. Also found out  these new ones will mount on the old mounts!! Saved a bunch of putting in screws .    I made a link on my Photobucket account just for this stuff. Will be updating as I complete steps but it’s up now if you want to look. But don’t forget to check back  once the project is finished.  That  link is HERE  

 BBL.. 

4PM  and I am FINISHED!!! Well, let me be real. I quit for the day:-)  I got accomplished what I planned on today, got the cameras mounted and wires run in case the weather goes to hell.   Posted a few new pics of the wire mess at the same spot as before  HERE 
Keep in mind they ain't in order.  
I'll spend some time later adjusting the picture quality and all. Then one day soon I'll go get the hard drive to record to and the router so I can put them on line Probably have to get a geek to set that part up. 

So, bout cat feeding time and then me.. I cheated for lunch , was tired and went to PO and then Lotto ticket so just got a chopped brisket sandwich.   OH, the lady there said they placed  again this year in the  BBQ contest in Austin hosted by Texas Monthly 

So, time to prop my feet up after I get a wine cooler.. I'm tired !!
