Unsurprisingly, it took me literally all day to get the network closet back up and running! But this time it is much more neatly organized. I added a 12-port patch panel in the corner that all the building runs terminate into. Half of these were from the 2019 studio buildout, the other half I've added over the years, with pretty messy cable runs through the space. Now they are all neatly tucked inside the wall and terminated into this patch panel! I then started rebuilding the rack, and made custom length cables for the 12 connections. One end is an rj45 jack, the other end is a keystone connector for the rack patch panel. By the end of the day I was able to get all the gear back in the rack! I know it still looks a bit messy but believe me this is far better than it was before I started this!

Today is the day! We are finally getting the permanent power hookup to the new house! I can't even believe how long I've been waiting for this. This is super important because it unblocks a bunch of other stuff from happening in order to finish the project. It looked like it almost wasn't going to happen there for a bit, but the crew pulled through! A very quick tree trim, an extra supply run to get thicker wire, and a quick reroute of the conduit for the main line and we're back in business. Also I just think it's really funny that the guy from the power company just ripped the meter off the side of the building while everything inside was still powered on. Seems like you might want to disconnect the load at the breaker before pulling potentially 200 amps off the wall but hey that's not my job.

Thank you for buying a bunch of my old gear! I made a run to the post office to get some boxes out!

This week I need to tackle this project! I need to remove everything in the utility room so the electricians can run a new main power line through the ceiling. Capturing this for the "before" photo.
