ok, my basement room is getting close to putting up the drywall, just gotta do a few more things first...
right now im working on installing a phone outlet...
my dad is working on the light switches, but i have to help him do it lol.
and after phone im doing cable,
then im hooking up my in-wall speakers,
then network will be last because i dont know how to do that one lol.
ok, so for teh phone line im using a wire i stole from my garage that is about 20feet long. my room is at the back of the basement and my electrical box, cable, phone line box etc. are at teh front of the basement :angry: .
now what i need to know is this:
there is a phone line going from teh phone box at front of house to my kitchen. my 20foot wire could reach to this and get into my room, but it wont reach all the way back to my phone box. so I was wondering if I could cut the kitchen telephone wire and then strip the wires, and attach the kitchen and my room to the one phone cable. would this work or do I have to buy some sort of splitter to double the connection (in which case i would just buy a longer wire instead)?
normally I would just go ahead and buy the phone wire, but i really want to get this finished fast...
and ill have another qquestion later but im not asking it yet cause i gotta get back to work downstairs.
thanks guys!
