Until the February Christchurch earthquake I lived in a 1920's house
and struggled to run cable (and there were insifficient power points
too, except in a couple of rooms that had ben renovated and had new
wall linings.)

Now it looks like they will have to re-plasterboard every room, which
means I can run power and ethernet everywhere I want it. Yahoo, there
are some upsides.
