OK, you're on.  I'll supply the wire-cutters, tools, a hundred
bucks of parts, and my latest 150-year-old house.  Your mission,
should you choose to accept it, is to install one wall box with 2 jacks
in each of ten rooms.

Would that be worth $500 in labor?  Methinks it's more...in general,
the parts cost of electrical jobs is a tiny fraction of the total bill.
