21 days? how much is getting done?
the biggest cabling/installation we have was last year that all in all cost £40k. £15k of that was on 12 computers alone

basically you have a fixed loom going from the switches to one side of the patching frame
then you have another fixed loom running from the floor ports to the other side of the patching frame
then you interconnect everything using patch cables at the CPI frame.

quite alot to get your head around, depends if you to know all full 7 layers or not. We interviewed a chap once who used to work at Bupa and all he knew was layers 1 and 2 which is basically cables and switching, didnt know much about routing, application etc.

apparently not, the place i've just been talking about used to be looked after a guy who was hopeless, his full time job was to fit windows, every now and then he would look after people's computers because he used one once in 1985. needless the say the place was a shambles

Yeah, I realised that when I kind of drove there. Essex wannabe's 
But yes, it was good thanks. Traffic on the M25 though  luckily was the otherside. Pretty much slow moving and standstill from Dartford to South Mimms
