Link Down Between Two Hudson Valley Buildings?

A barn that went dark after a storm, a campus link cut by a landscaper's auger, a splice enclosure that filled with water over the winter — these are repairs, not new installs, and we treat them that way. We dispatch the same day where we can, and most single-point faults on fiber we can reach — a damaged pigtail, a broken connector, a wet or crushed enclosure — are located and fixed in one to two hours on site. Call (800) 486-0943 and say it is a fiber repair, or see our network cable repair service in the Hudson Valley for copper and mixed faults. If the link that failed was copper, ask us to quote the fiber replacement while we are there.

Fiber Optic Installation for Hudson Valley Architecture

The valley's building stock spans three and a half centuries, and the oldest and newest of it often share a single property. A seventeenth-century stone house with a 1990s addition and a steel pole barn behind it is an ordinary Ulster County job. These are the building types we plan around most.

Methods and materials by building type

• Office parks: we look first for the existing inter-building duct. Many parks have it, often half-full of dead telephone cable. Where the duct is usable, innerduct and a single-mode cable of twelve or more strands go in; where it is collapsed or full, a new conduit is bored rather than trenched across finished parking.
• Medical and campus buildings: cable listings follow the space (plenum above return-air ceilings, riser in shafts), splices go into enclosures that match the campus standard, and labelling follows the institution's scheme, not ours. Infection-control and occupied-building rules govern when ceilings can be opened.
• Warehouses: armored or innerduct-protected fiber on the cable tray or J-hooks along the roof steel, with service loops at each remote closet so a closet can move when racking is reconfigured. Yard and pole runs go underground in conduit to the pole base.
• Stone and brick houses: the entry is planned from inside the cellar out, through an existing penetration such as an old oil-fill or service sleeve where one exists, otherwise a single small core sealed with a sleeve and a non-hardening sealant suited to the masonry. Inside, fiber is small enough to follow existing wiring routes where copper would not fit.
• Farms and estates: conduit trenched or bored between buildings with pull boxes where the route turns sharply or runs long, outdoor-rated cable, tracer wire, and sealed enclosures at each end mounted high enough to stay away from moisture, rodents and equipment.
• Wineries and venues: the event barn is treated as an outdoor-adjacent space — enclosures and switches inside a lockable cabinet, power on a UPS, and nothing left where guests can reach it.

Owners of older valley houses who bring fiber to a barn office usually add cameras at the barn door and the driveway at the same time. Our residential camera installers in the Hudson Valley plan those cameras around the same strands, so the second trip is a hand-off rather than a second trench.

Why Copper Fails Between Valley Buildings and Fiber Doesn't

Every building with its own electrical service has its own connection to the earth, and no two of those connections sit at exactly the same voltage. That is the physics behind most of the "it just died after the storm" calls we get from outbuildings, and it is the main reason we recommend fiber for nearly every link that leaves one building and enters another.

Picture a farmhouse and a barn 350 feet apart, each with its own service and its own ground rod. Run a copper Ethernet cable between them and you have connected the two grounding systems through the shields, the drain wires and, more subtly, through the electronics at each end. Ethernet ports are transformer-coupled, which gives them isolation for normal signalling, but as one engineer on the MikroTik forum put it, that isolation is functional, not safety isolation. A nearby strike raises the earth around one building relative to the other for a fraction of a second. The voltage difference finds the cable, crosses the port and leaves through the equipment's power supply. Sometimes it takes out one port. Sometimes it takes out every device on both ends. Utility faults and poorly bonded services can do the same thing on a sunny day, more slowly.

There are copper-side mitigations, and they have their place: surge protectors at both ends, bonded to each building's grounding electrode, shielded cable with its drain properly terminated, and buried rather than overhead routes. Done well, they reduce the damage. They don't change the underlying situation, which is that a conductive path now connects two independent earth references. A poster on Reddit's r/HomeNetworking put the common view bluntly while answering a question about networking a new barn: "you want to run fiber for anything between buildings," adding that they had personally dealt with equipment fried by the alternative. That is opinion, not engineering, but it matches what we see in the field.

Fiber solves it at the root. An all-dielectric cable — glass fibers, aramid yarn, plastic tubes and a polyethylene jacket — has nothing in it to carry current from one building to the other. Each end's electronics take power only from their own building, so a ground-potential difference between the two simply has nowhere to go. That is also why many fiber specifications for buried runs between buildings call for all-dielectric construction rather than armored cable: armor brings strength against crushing and rodents, but it reintroduces metal that, under NEC Article 770, may need grounding at each building entrance where it could contact power conductors. We choose between the two route by route.

Distance is the second reason. The 100-metre copper channel includes the patch cords at each end, so the usable permanent link is a little shorter, and an outbuilding at 300 feet as the crow flies is often 380 feet by the route a cable actually has to take around a driveway, a septic field and a row of trees. Multimode fiber carries 10-gigabit Ethernet hundreds of metres; single-mode carries it kilometres. On valley properties, where the barn is rarely the last building anyone will add, we usually install single-mode for anything that leaves a building, because the optics are cheap and the reach is effectively unlimited for the distances on a farm, an estate or a campus.

The third reason is everything else that shares the ground: electric fences, well pumps, irrigation controllers, generator transfer switches, barn lighting on long circuits and the motors that run fans, waterers and gates. All of them put noise on nearby copper. None of them affect light in glass.

When copper between buildings is still reasonable

We are not dogmatic about it. A detached garage forty feet from the house, fed from the house's own panel rather than a separate service, shares the house's grounding system; a properly protected copper run there is a sensible, cheaper choice. A second building on the same service at a short distance is similar. What changes the answer is a separate service, a long run, an overhead route, or a history of storm damage. Where we do recommend copper, we fit primary protection at the entrance, bonded correctly, and we tell you what we would do instead if it fails.

One more practical point from the same forum discussions: when a trench is open, put in more than you need today. A spare conduit, or a second cable alongside the fiber, costs little while the ground is open and a great deal once it is closed. One r/HomeNetworking commenter running 200 feet of fiber to a barn suggested exactly that — a terminated, tested but unused Cat6 in the conduit as a backup — and on a short, same-service run we sometimes do the same. On a separate-service run we prefer a second fiber, for the reasons above.

Fiber Optic Installation in the Hudson Valley: Questions Answered

These are the questions valley owners, facilities managers and builders ask us before a fiber job. Each is answered once here; shorter follow-ups are in the FAQ further down.

Barns, cottages and other outbuildings

Does it matter whether our barn or cottage has its own electric meter when we choose the network cable?

It matters more than anything else about the link. A building fed from the house's own panel shares the house's grounding system, so a copper cable between them connects two points that sit at nearly the same electrical potential; at a modest distance, properly protected copper is a reasonable, cheaper choice. A building with its own meter and service has its own ground rod in its own soil, and copper between the two joins two independent earth references. That is the arrangement that turns a nearby lightning strike into dead equipment at both ends. For a separately metered building we recommend all-dielectric fiber almost without exception, with the switch or media converter at each end powered from its own building. If you don't know how the outbuilding is fed, a look at the meters and panels during the walkthrough settles it in a minute.

Why did the copper cable to our detached garage die after a summer thunderstorm, and will it happen again?

Almost certainly because of a ground-potential difference between the two buildings, and yes, it will happen again unless the link changes. If the garage has its own service and ground rod, a nearby strike lifts one ground relative to the other for an instant and the copper cable between them carries the surge into the equipment at both ends. Replacing the damaged switch and re-using the same cable puts you back where you started. The durable fix is fiber, which isolates the two buildings electrically, with each end's equipment powered locally through a surge-protected outlet or a small UPS. If you want to keep copper, the minimum is listed primary protection at each entrance bonded to each building's grounding electrode — and a buried route if the existing cable runs overhead.

A stream or a wet meadow lies between the house and the barn — how does fiber get across, and does anyone have to approve it?

There are three usual answers. A directional bore can pass beneath a small stream or wet area without disturbing it, entering and leaving on dry ground. Where a culvert or a farm bridge already crosses, conduit can sometimes be fixed to it, protected and sealed. Or the route can go around, along higher ground, if the extra distance is modest — fiber doesn't care about a few hundred more feet. Approval is the part to settle first. Work in or near regulated wetlands and streams can involve the town and state, and in the parts of Westchester, Putnam, Orange and Ulster that drain to New York City's reservoirs the city's watershed regulations also apply to stormwater and related work. We identify which, if any, apply to your route before quoting, and design the crossing to avoid needing a permit where a reasonable alternative exists.

Campuses, parks and institutions

A college department or research tenant wants its own fiber between two buildings on a campus that already has a central IT backbone — how does that get coordinated?

Through the campus IT and facilities offices, before anything is priced in detail. Established campuses usually have standards for cable type, strand counts, enclosure brands, labelling and where a department's or tenant's fiber may terminate. Some allow dedicated strands in the campus duct; others want the department to use spare strands on the existing backbone rather than pull new glass. Our job is to read the standard, propose a design that fits it, and produce test results and as-built drawings in the format the campus asks for. Colleges add academic calendars to the plan, because the best time to trench across a quad is when students are away, and research buildings add their own access rules for labs and plant rooms. We schedule around both.

Who owns the old duct bank between our office-park buildings, and can our new fiber use it?

Ownership comes first. On a single-owner park the duct normally belongs to the landlord; on a condominium or subdivided park it may belong to an association, and occasionally to a carrier that built it. We ask for the site's utility plans and get written confirmation that a duct may be used before we open it. Physically, the answer depends on what we find when we rod it. If one conduit is clear, innerduct carrying single-mode fiber is the cheapest route between buildings there is. If the conduits are full of abandoned telephone copper, removing it is often possible and always worth asking about; if a conduit has collapsed or silted up, a new bore beside it beats a trench across a finished parking lot.

Our new warehouse near Stewart needs cameras on yard poles and a network at the guard house — what has to go in the ground before the lot is paved?

Conduit, and more of it than seems necessary. Every camera pole, the guard house, any gate or barrier arm, the trailer-yard lighting controls and any future EV chargers need a pathway back to a network room, and the cheapest moment to provide one is before the base course and asphalt go down. We give the site contractor a conduit schedule: sizes, routes, sweeps, pull-box locations and which runs carry fiber and which carry power, with spare conduits to each cluster of poles. Fiber then goes in after paving, through conduit that is already there. If the lot is already paved, the same design is built by boring between landscaped islands and pole bases instead — slower and costlier, but without cutting finished pavement.

Providers arriving and properties waiting

A grant-funded provider is finally bringing fiber up our road — what should we have ready on our land before they connect?

Decide where you want the service to land and where the network should live, because they are often not the same place. The provider will bring its drop to one building, usually the house or the front office, and install its terminal there. If your router, recorder and work space are in a barn office or a second building, plan the owner fiber between the two now: a conduit from the provider's entry point to that building, and an enclosure with room for the extension. Clear access for the provider's crew helps too — a marked route for their drop, the location of any private buried power or water lines, and a dry, powered spot for their equipment. When the provider's crew leaves, we extend the service on fiber you own, so changing provider later never means rewiring the property.

Old masonry, hillsides and hard ground

How does fiber get into an eighteenth-century stone house with walls two feet thick?

Carefully, and preferably without making a new hole. We look first for an existing penetration: an old fuel-oil fill, a disused service sleeve, a cellar window frame that can be replaced with a panel, or the route the electric or telephone service already uses. Fiber cable is thin enough to share many of these. If a new penetration is unavoidable, it is a single small core through a mortar joint rather than a stone where the wall allows it, sleeved, sloped to drain outward and sealed with a sealant compatible with old lime mortar. In a historic district, visible exterior changes may need local review, so we confirm that first. Inside, fiber follows existing chases and floor framing where copper often wouldn't fit.

Our outbuilding sits uphill on ledge rock — can a buried route still be built, and what does rock do to the price?

Usually, but rock changes the method more than the design. Where the soil is shallow over ledge we look at routes that follow existing disturbed ground — the driveway shoulder, an old water line, a stone wall's footing — and at surface methods such as conduit fixed to rock in a protected run, or a shallow trench with concrete cover where traffic crosses. Directional boring through soil full of cobbles is possible but slower. We price rock as an allowance after looking at the site rather than guessing, because the same 300-foot route can be a morning's work or a week's depending on what is under the lawn.

Will frost heave and spring thaw damage fiber buried on a sloping Hudson Valley lot?

Not if it is in conduit, buried properly and given slack. Frost moves soil, and on a slope the thaw can shift it downhill. Cable laid loose in a shallow trench can be stretched or pinched where it enters a building or a pull box. Conduit spreads that load, sweeps at each end avoid tight bends where movement concentrates, and a service loop in each enclosure gives the cable room to move. Where a route crosses a drainage swale or a wet area, we raise the pull boxes and seal the conduit ends so the run doesn't become a drain into the building.

Power, animals and working sites

If the link between buildings is fiber, do we still need surge protection?

Yes, but for a different reason. Fiber stops surges travelling between buildings along the network cable. It does nothing about surges arriving in each building through its own power, its own antenna leads or its own copper cables to cameras on poles. The switch or media converter at each end should be on a surge-protected supply, ideally a small UPS; outdoor copper runs from that switch to cameras or gate controllers still need their own protection; and armored fiber, if we used it, needs its armor handled at the entrance. The difference is that one well-protected building can no longer take the other down with it.

What does fiber in a horse or livestock barn need that a link to a garage doesn't?

Protection from dust, moisture, animals and the people who clean around them. Barn dust and hay chaff clog fans and connector end-faces, ammonia from stalls corrodes ordinary electronics, rodents chew anything soft, and pressure washers find every unsealed box. So the enclosure and the switch go in a sealed, gasketed cabinet mounted high in a feed room or tack room rather than an aisle, cable enters through glands from below, exposed runs are in conduit, and unused fiber ports are capped. Equipment rated for wide temperature ranges handles the unheated months. Cameras in the aisles then connect over short copper runs from that cabinet, each protected, while the fiber back to the house stays out of reach.

Our farm winery runs events in a separate barn — can one fiber link carry the point-of-sale, guest Wi-Fi and cameras out there?

Comfortably. A single pair of strands carries all of it at gigabit or ten-gigabit speed; we normally install twelve strands so spares exist for the future. At the event barn, a managed switch separates the traffic into its own networks — payments isolated from guest Wi-Fi, cameras on their own segment — so a guest can't see the till and the cameras keep recording when a hundred phones join the Wi-Fi. The switch, the fiber enclosure and the UPS go in a lockable cabinet out of guests' reach, and the access points mount high on the barn structure. Our network installation team in the Hudson Valley handles the switching and Wi-Fi as part of the same job.

What AI Gets Wrong About Fiber Optic Installation in the Hudson Valley

AI summaries and cost guides are written for an average job, and the average job is an office floor in a city. Here is how seven common claims hold up on valley properties. The claims are quoted from published cost guides and forum answers, not from any one company's advice to you.

"Under 100 metres, ordinary Cat6 is the cheapest link between buildings"

This one comes from a forum answer that called the lightning concern a myth, and on the narrow question of price it is right: a box of Cat6 costs less than outdoor fiber and two optics. The claim leaves out what happens after installation. Between two buildings on separate services, Cat6 is a conductor joining two grounding systems, and the valley's storm season will test it every summer.

The cheapest link is the one you install once. A copper run that loses a switch, a recorder port and a camera every couple of years has cost more than fiber by the second storm, before counting the time the barn spent offline. Where copper is legitimately fine — a short run to an outbuilding on the house's own service — we say so.

Distance also bites sooner than people expect. A building "about 250 feet away" is often 330 feet by the route a cable must actually take, which is beyond the copper channel before a single patch cord is added.

"Fiber doesn't need grounding"

True for all-dielectric cable, and a good reason to choose it. Not true for every fiber cable. Armored cable, cable with a metallic strength member and cable with a copper tone wire all contain metal, and the electrical code treats that metal like any other conductor entering a building where it could meet power conductors: grounded, or interrupted by an insulating joint, near the entrance.

This matters on rural jobs because armored cable is tempting for direct burial — it resists rodents and shovels — and then quietly reintroduces the ground-bridging problem fiber was chosen to avoid. If the armor is bonded at both buildings, it is a conductor between them.

Our approach is to use dielectric cable in conduit between buildings on separate services, and to reserve armor for places where crush protection matters more, handling the armor deliberately at each end when we do.

"A short aerial building-to-building run is only a few thousand dollars"

One published guide puts aerial runs on poles at roughly $8 to $12 per foot and says a short aerial link "can range from a few thousand dollars." The same guide notes that aerial runs need attachment rights, and that is where valley projects stall.

On a farm or estate, the poles between buildings may belong to the property owner or to the utility, and they may not be where the cable needs to go. Where they belong to the utility, permission to attach is a formal process with its own clearances, and it is rarely quick. Where they are private and old, a pole may need replacing before anything else can hang on it.

Aerial cable also lives in the valley's weather: ice loading, wind, falling limbs. We price aerial honestly where it makes sense, but on most properties a bored or trenched conduit costs less over its life and never needs a ladder after a storm.

"Fiber costs two to three times as much as a copper drop"

That comparison, from a published installation cost guide, is per drop: one terminated run from a closet to a device in an office. It is a fair rule of thumb inside a building where both media would work.

It doesn't describe a link between buildings, where the comparison isn't fiber against one copper drop but fiber against copper plus primary protectors at both entrances, bonding at both ends, surge protection for the equipment and the replacement cost of whatever the next storm takes. For a run beyond 100 metres, copper isn't an option at all without a switch in the middle of the lawn.

On valley jobs the trench, bore or conduit often costs more than either cable. Once that cost is committed, the difference between pulling fiber and pulling copper through it is small.

"Whole-building projects with 100 to 200 drops land between $15,000 and $30,000"

Another orientation range from the same guide, and the guide itself says these are not quotes. It describes a cabling fit-out measured by drop count, which is how a city office is priced.

A valley campus or farm job is priced by route, not by drops. Two buildings with ten drops each and 600 feet of rock-strewn ground between them cost far more than one building with forty drops, because the money is in the ground. A distribution warehouse may have few drops per square foot but long trunks to remote closets and a yard full of conduit.

That is why our pricing section publishes the building blocks — terminations, testing, backbones and drops — at each county's rate, and why we walk the route before giving a firm number.

"Call 811 two days before you dig and the lines will be marked"

Calling is the law, and Central Hudson's guidance is to call at least two and no more than ten days before digging. What the call achieves is notification of the utilities and municipal operators that are members of the one-call system, each of which marks its own facilities.

On a valley property, many of the things a trench can hit are not theirs. The feed from the house to the barn, the well line, the irrigation, the septic lines, the low-voltage cable to the gate, the old telephone wire to the cottage — those are private, and no one-call ticket will mark them.

So our route survey asks the owner what is buried, looks for the evidence (meters, junction boxes, well caps, cleanouts), and uses a locator on anything conductive before we dig. It is one more reason every fiber route we bury gets a tracer wire: so the next person can find it.

"With the new rural fiber build, the provider will wire the whole property"

Grant-funded builds such as Ulster County's ConnectALL award are aimed at unserved locations — households, businesses and community facilities — and providers connect a location, typically to one building. That is a big step for a property that had no wired service, and it ends at the provider's terminal.

From that terminal on, the wiring is the owner's. A provider installer may run a cable to a second room in the house; they are not going to trench to the barn, build a link to the cottage or design a network for a multi-building property.

The best time to plan that owner wiring is before the provider arrives, so the terminal lands where the extension is easiest. The second-best time is the week after.

Fiber Optic Installation Cost in the Hudson Valley

Every price below is one of our standard published prices multiplied by the county's area rate, then rounded to the dollar. None is a new figure. The base prices are $35 per termination, $40 per strand for an OTDR test, $350 for a multimode drop, $400 for a single-mode drop, $4,500–$7,000 for a 12-strand OM4 floor-to-floor backbone, $8,000–$15,000+ for a 24-strand OS2 building-to-building backbone and from $2,400 for a second telecom room with its fiber link.

Service calls, troubleshooting and return visits are billed at $195/hr, 3-hr minimum ($585), in every county; that rate is never applied to a new installation.

What the building-to-building price includes

The 24-strand OS2 line covers the cable, its pull through a pathway that exists or that is part of the scope, fusion splicing into an enclosure in each building, and OTDR testing of every strand. The spread in the range is mostly distance and building entries. On valley properties the larger variable is often the pathway itself: an existing duct bank or a clear route across soft ground sits at the bottom of the range; ledge rock, pavement, long bores and multiple pull boxes push it up. Where a route needs significant excavation, boring or restoration, we quote it as a separate line so the fiber price stays readable.

Where the money goes on a valley fiber job

• The ground. Lawn and soft soil are the cheap case. Pavement, ledge, cobbles, tree roots, wet ground and slopes add time and sometimes equipment.
• Existing pathway. Usable conduit or a clear duct between buildings saves more than any other single factor.
• Building entries. A frame wall with a crawlspace is quick; two feet of stone or a finished basement wall takes longer and needs care.
• Distance and strand count. More cable, more splices and more strands to test, though strand count adds less than people expect.
• What the far end needs. Enclosures, a switch with fiber ports or media converters, a UPS and the network behind them.

National brand versus local contractor. ADT, Ring and SimpliSafe sell monitored alarms and cameras; none of them trenches fiber between a house and a barn or splices a campus link. The real choices in the valley are a provider's construction crew, which builds only to its own terminal; an electrician, who can dig a trench but usually doesn't splice or test glass; a national integrator, which suits large campuses but may subcontract the field work; or a licensed local low-voltage contractor with its own splicer and test gear who walks the route with you and answers for the result.

Planning a Long Outdoor Run Across Valley Ground

On a city job the pathway is a riser that already exists. On a valley job we usually build the pathway, and it is where most of the cost and most of the risk live. This is how we think a route through.

Start from the buildings, not the map

The straight line between two buildings is rarely the route. We start inside each building at the spot where the equipment should live, work out the cleanest way out of that building — through a crawlspace, a cellar wall, a frame wall above grade — and only then look at the ground between the two exit points. A route that saves forty feet outdoors but needs a core through a finished basement wall and a run across a finished ceiling is usually the worse choice.

Avoid what is already buried

Wells and their supply lines, septic tanks and leach fields, propane lines, buried electric to outbuildings, irrigation and invisible pet fences are everywhere on valley properties, and most are private. We map what the owner knows, look for the surface evidence of what they don't, run a locator over the route and keep a clear distance from leach fields in particular. Where the fiber shares a trench with a new power feed, the electrician's conduit and ours keep the separation the code and good practice call for.

Choose trench, bore or surface run

Open trenching with a small machine is fastest across lawn and field. Directional boring passes under driveways, patios, stone walls and gardens without disturbing them and is worth its cost wherever restoration would be expensive. Over ledge, or along a building, a protected surface run in rigid conduit can be the right answer. Many routes use all three.

Build in pull boxes, slack and spares

Long runs and routes with several bends get in-ground pull boxes so the cable is never pulled past its tension limit or bent too tightly. Each enclosure keeps a service loop for future re-termination. We generally put in a spare conduit, or a larger conduit with innerduct, so a second cable can follow later without digging; and we install more strands than today's need because the glass costs little and the trench costs a lot.

Make it findable

A tracer wire alongside dielectric cable, brought up into an accessible test point at each end, lets any locator find the route. Warning tape above the conduit gives anyone digging a second chance. And the route drawing, with measured offsets from fixed points like building corners, goes into the closeout file and to you.

What to Gather Before We Walk Your Property

A route survey on open ground goes faster, and the proposal comes back more accurate, when a few things are ready before we arrive. None of this is required; all of it helps.

• A sketch or survey of the property. A copy of the property survey, a site plan from the builder, or even a phone photo of a hand drawing showing the buildings, the driveway, the well, the septic area and any known buried lines.
• Where each building gets its power. Whether the outbuilding has its own meter or is fed from the house panel. If you don't know, a photo of each building's electrical panel and the meter base answers it.
• What the far building will run. Cameras, a gate, Wi-Fi, a phone, a point-of-sale terminal, a workstation, a recorder. The list decides the strand count, the switch and the power backup at the far end.
• Where the provider lands today. The location of the modem or optical terminal, and whether a new fiber provider has said it is coming to your road.
• Existing conduit, poles or cable. Any pipe you know runs between the buildings, poles that carry wires across the property, or old cable left from a previous owner.
• Constraints on the calendar. Events booked in a venue barn, a harvest window on a farm, term dates on a campus, or a closing date on a house sale. We plan the trench around them.
• Anyone else who must approve. A landlord, an association, a campus IT office, a historic-district commission or an insurer with requirements for the work.

On commercial sites, add the site utility plan if one exists, the name of the facilities contact who controls access to telecom rooms and duct banks, and any specification your organisation uses for cabling. For new construction, the architect's or developer's drawings let us propose network-room locations and a yard conduit schedule before anything is built.

With that in hand, the walkthrough on a two- or three-building property is short, and the written proposal follows with each line priced at your county's rate. If the site is far up the valley and you would rather start remotely, photos of each building's exterior wall where the cable would enter, the electrical panels and the ground between the buildings let us talk through a likely budget range before anyone drives out.
