Funny, Justin... okay, both...

Larry the cable guy, thanks.  Running cable in the garage is easy enough.  Getting it from the house out to the garage may be the tricky part.  I have a conduit underground that I pulled the electric through but I doubt I could pull a cable line through it too without getting interference from the AC lines.

hey tim you have a couple of options with running the cable. i take it your garage is not attached to the house? if not how far is it from the house? is the main cable drop coming from a tap at the pole or is it an underground drop? depending on where the drop is attached on your house and if you can live with it running from your house to your garage in the air you could add a two way splitter to the main drop outside your house and run it up and over to your garage. just remember that the longer the cable the lower the signal. we usually like for the drop from the tap to the house to be no more than 200 feet .

Thanks, Larry.  Yes, It's a detached garage about 30 yards from the house.  The line comes in from the pole and goes into a 4-way splitter. (although we have about 6 or 7 cable hookups in the house.)

I definitely don't want to run a cable in the air...

Thanks Bobby.  That means a lot to me!

If I were to do it again I would definately use clay.  I get so tired of applying the mud, waiting for it to dry only to sand most of it away again. Drying, sanding, drying, sanding, drying, sanding... It's easy to get de-motivated.  I've been working with the clay for a bit now and I just love being able to add and subtract as I need to.  It's a real joy to work with by comparison.
