    If you are in the middle of a frame-off gut of a home, as I currently am, much of this is trivial to implement.

    A notoriously low-effort endeavor in itself.

    “It’s doable with a minimum of effort as long as you have your house gutted down to the foundations” isn’t exactly the shining defense of “a minimum of effort” that I expected to read

      Go in your attic for 20 minutes. Throw some Ethernet around. You don’t even have to plug all of it in lol

        Not all attics are that accessible. Mine is basically an above-house crawlspace full of insulation such that you need a mask.

              And would you describe it as challenging to wear, there one or two times you would need to be in the attic for this task?

                1. You have completely missed the point of attics not always being very accessible in order to argue for no good reason.

                2. Yes, I would. The respirator type mask which you require in that environment is very stuffy and tough on someone like me who has a lung condition.

                3. It being tiny makes it more inaccessible than the need for a mask does. The opening into the attic is narrow. I can fit through it, but most Americans would not be able to. Once up there, you have to crawl. I have a medical condition affecting my muscles which makes it exceedingly difficult to crawl.

                Point is, once again, that not all attics are accessible. This isn’t a discussion about masks.
