Office 17 – Power on
Some good news. After finding the number for the rack supplier I placed a call with them this afternoon. Turns out an administrative error had occurred. The rack was out of stock but internal communications failed. Sales thought it was dispatched, as we all know, it wasn’t. So a slightly different rack is on the […]
Office 16 – End of the big build.
Office 15
So its Easter Monday and I hope to find a nice looking door in the office, following last nights painting session. Todays focus is going to be on getting the comms wiring running. Telephone line is first for the FTTC connection to the WAN that is the Internet. Following this it’s be the Ethernet for […]

Office 10
Its been a while since my last update. I’ve just been so busy with the job. So lets look at the progress since the last update. Easiest way is a video.

So for me its the material costs, mostly. I’ll get the the “mostly” bit in a minute. These are the costs so […]
