I'm not really any more further forward than where I was a few weeks ago. I didn't want to distract my brother through his Christmas holidays with his new born so told him just to wait until the new year before we continue.
We should manage to finish it all in a few hours though.
I remember someone saying (possibly Dave) to utilise cupboards and that may be the easiest route to get cables run into the loft from the stair wall.
Have a happy and healthy new year.

No chenks, I have one switch taking each feed from the patch panel then into eth1 on the Edgerouter. I have WAN on eth0 and PoE out to the AP on eth4.
My modem is in the hall still, I just ran a 10m cat5e cable to it yesterday to set it up. This will be moved to where this equipment is shortly.

Yup, Just a big wall mount bracket to hold it in place really.
I think I went a bit wild with the cable pulling. I've got 15 cables in place and utilizing two at present.
