Those and round phone jacks about every 10 feet or so. There's a phone jack in the hallway! Not even connected to a landline anymore. And because we opted for the ultra-deluxe old home, an intercom system that made a zapping noise accompanied by a perfect little curl of smoke when we turned it on for the first time. Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!
I'm not even lying when I say that if I had a low wattage intercom system preexisting I'd drag new wire everywhere.
Easy pathway for some Cat6!
Yes, definitely that. But I also dream of being able to press a button and say our little "all ducks, go to bed" and have all those truants down in the big pond know what they're supposed to do 😂
I suspect you might be joking and I just didn't get it, but just in case - do your ducks actually respond to verbal cues??
I have friends with ducks, and another friend who tried to have ducks this spring and lost them all to predation, and I know they would all love to be able to get their ducks to get to bed on time.
Ducks would really rather party outside all night, but we use "all ducks go to bed" every time we bring food or treats or water changes to the coop. It took some time but now when we say it they come in to see what the deal is and we can lock up behind them.

This is genius! I'm so excited to tell my friends, thank you so much for this tip!
used enterprise ip phones are pretty cheap these days, just saying...
As long as they didn't staple the wire or something.
Omg. This at my house. All old cat 3 phone line. The lines aren't even terminated anymore but I can't pull them out. Same with all the coax lines. So frustrating.
We also had the owner installed intercom system! I pulled it out since it didn't work anymore either. On top of that we have Central-Vac! It still works, and my toddler has yet to figure out she could put stuff in there.
Lucky!
