    Grounding Question

    I would think each building has its own isolated ground . your electrician should be able to advise you. Sometimes transient voltages flow into the building on the groung wires. Had one experience of a radio channel comming in on the ground from another building in a strip mall...

    First Home Network: Looking for Answers

    hot water tanks have a 5000 watt heating element so don't get to close. leave the wires loose in the walls no staples or ties noboby can see them. Done this was you can use the cable as a pull string later to install something new and better... I would think 10Base-T is the best home option
