We had a bit of a look at this this evening and may now have a plan....

We can plug an ethernet cable into the switch/router in the office at Engage. 
Still need to confirm what the network looks like on their side but I'm running 
with the assumption that it'll dish out an IP with DHCP and have NAT to The 
Internetâ„¢. 

Getting the cable from there down to our space looks doable via ceiling of the 
office, tile drop ceiling in the kitchen and then through an existing hole in 
the wall to the stairwell, it can then go down the holes already taking cables 
down the north east (I think) corner of the stairwell all the way to outside 
the door at the bottom of the stairs. I didn't look too much at the route 
further than that as I got distracted and didn't get back to it, but there is 
only one wall left there to be in the space and I can put a new hole in that 
wall if needed. 

Most of the effort needed for the cable run will be in getting through the 
ceilings in Engage. That'll have to be done when they're not too busy (it'll be 
some disruption to them getting to kitchen/office) so not long after they open 
(11:00?) on a weekday is probably best. 

I could probably take an hour or so away from work to help run the cable 
Friday, or some day next week. It would be a lot easier if there was more than 
just me though :) When would other people be available to help?

Robert
