assuming a single floor house with lose insulation in the attic now look at a multi-story place where there isn't an attic, or one with trusses so that moving around the attic is hard, or a SIP cealing, cathedral cealings, etc. but my initial comment on ROI and refitting cost was actually

Retrofit is trivial. It's all in the attic. A romex splice is about $53. Verticals aren't required. Many states are mandating per each sale. I had to do this in Boston historic district. No grandfather. My fire hurts the entire street ⁣Bob On Oct 18, 2023, 7:05 PM, at 7:05 PM, David Lang

A note on mesh networks. a true mesh where any node can pop up and self organizes to join the network runs into the hidden transmitter problem (you have stations A, B and C, A and C can hear B but can't hear each other so as they try to communicate, they step on each other so that B can't
