Happy Friday!
.though for us, it's more of a "Happy almost finishing the drilling holes; cutting finished plasterwork; poking cables through a 900mm wide void between walls, so Openreach can come back to complete their works" - kind of day!
We're in the middle of a multi-gigabit leased line and wifi install in a large building that has been converted in to 12 high-end apartments and three retail premises in Scarborough, and all the drilling and routing of cables has had to be undertaken by our team (with some help from our friends at RNet for terminating many of the Cat6 drops), so that Openreach didn't have to delay everything with surveys, risk assessments, and all the associated works that could cause delays.
But after five gruelling days of drilling and praying that our calculations and checking the walls for hidden pipework and wiring, the drilling work is complete.
Next stop - fibre splicing and routing.
Updates next week!
* Just a note - AI-geenrated pic for attention only - the holes weren't quite so bad as this ๐
