Took me about 3 and a half hours to do this. Looks good, now I need to get off the couch and begin segmenting the network for when my SO clicks on a green download button.
vlan tagging - the unsung hero of domestic tranquility.
nice job :-)

Nice! But good lord some of those corners/lack of slack make me wince - if you have a few feet of slack at the ends, I'd use them 🫣

I'm going to profess ignorance about the spouse download button segmentation portion?

Man, if anyone knows or a VLAN capable wifi 7+ access point that'll dump different SSIDs on different VLANs, please hit me up.
Right now I'm using an Orbi 6 Pro in AP mode, and it's fine, but I'm not getting the throughput I want for streaming games over my home network.
I want to keep all my networks separated from each other:
- Primary (phones, laptops)
- IoT very limited group of things like thermostats
- Always on VPN (a weird setup I made where if you connect to this SSID you're instantly in New Zealand)

The guy i worked with that always ran the cables told me to never run 1. Run 2 or 3 while you're at it. That's not the cost, the work is. Solid advise. Following it for deccades now, never a regret. In over 75% of the time he's right. There is always a use for the extra in the weeks after laying them.
Good job!
For future projects like this, check out multimodal fibers, which nowadays are all bend-insensitive, or these new "invisible fibers" - way easier to install than any copper cable.
we have something similar but with internet, since the modem was upstairs and someone living downstairs.
