Having just wired my house for internet, I figured I would post the links that were the most helpful. It would have been very handy if my condo wasn’t sitting an a slab and had some crawl space but we managed…
This site was helpful in reminding me which way to wire the cables as it had been awhile; I went with the “Straight-Through Cable Pinout for T568B” configuration. This link gives a great picture of how to crimp the wire and I used the info here to remember how to wire the plugin.
I didn’t have to do cut away the floorboards but these links may be helpful if someone has the ability to do that. (Would be much easier than what I had to do).

I don’t think this would actually ever happen but thought I would pass it along in case others could prove that it could happen. savetheinternet!

“Have you ever been somewhere and wanted to find a telephone number, but weren’t near a computer and couldn’t find a phone book? You can always dial 411, but at 50 cents a call, that seems a little pricey. I just found out that Google will give you telephone numbers for free (my favorite word); all you have to do is send a text message to GOOGL (46645) containing the ZIP code and name of the person or business you’re looking for. Google will send you back not only the phone number, but the address as well — but you pay for the text messages. If you don’t want to use up those text messages, you can also call 1-800-411-METRO, but you’ll have to listen to an advertisement.”
