Hokie's HTPC Help Hotline

[Enablingwolf]

You may be onto something, as my confidence in that kind of work is near zero. I called a local electrician and they'd charge time & material. Labor would be $100 for the first hour, pro-rated at that rate every additional hour. Based on what I told them, the estimate is 1-2 hours, plus cable. While it's not cheap, it's probably better (and cheaper) in the long run than me screwing something up.

Since you will have an electrician there. Ask Mrs. Hokie if there is any electrical upgrades she would like. New lighting or something along them lines. Might as well use the outsourcing (if chosen) and do all the work at once. Plus it'll make the missus happy.
