      $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
