[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1078803, member: 369937"] Ahhh Now I see what your trying to do......OK here is another way to do this, you have a bathroom in the office right...It has a roof vent for the water closet, (or should have) you can use this to come in with the coax, a small hole can be drilled in the vent pipe in the attic or where ever you can get to the vent pipe, the coax can be routed through this hole, the hole can then be sealed with calking. The vent pipe does not carry water, so there will be no leaks, if the hole is the last thing before going through the roof. How to route the coax through this pipe. Step 1, find access to the pipe inside the building, step 2, drill a hole large enough for the coax into this pipe, step 3, using a beaded steel chain (like on a ceiling fan) long enough to reach the roof you pass several inches of one end into the hole in the pipe, step 4, using a magnet on a string you pass this down the pipe from the roof, catching the chain with the magnet, you pull this up to the roof and tie the string on to the chain you pull this back inside and attach the coax to the string, step 5, after you connect everything you seal up the pipe where the coax comes into the building. Sorry, long winded, too much coffee again. [/QUOTE]
