Where are you trying to move them to? Cable company installers are idiots when it comes to general wiring. They won't fish walls, they would rather drill a hole in your hardwood floor and have a wire come up a foot away from the wall. If you need those wires spliced and relocated, I'd call an electrician. If you need them removed, just cut them, and stuff them back into the wall...cat5 and or coaxial cables will not harm anything.

Yea I just wanted them out the way. I will splice them and place them back into the wall and I guess patch up the holes and repaint.

Thanks Face.

Pay my way down and i'll take care of it for you ok now seriously... are the lines still active? Is your computer or anything else
plugged into them? Those kind of look like the lines that are going through the wall to the outside of your house but basically we need
to try and track them down to see where they are going. If they aren't and let me repeat "ARE NOT" active then just cut them. If they
are active and especially if they are the main feeds from the outside then we got a bit more to deal with... If they are active, go to
Homedepot and pick up some RG 59/6 ends, crimp/compression are better but you need a special tool for that, you can get cheap ones but whatever.
They also have twist on ends you can just do by hand or with some pliers for extra measure. These aren't the best for outdoor uses though
i have gotten away with it here at home. You're also going to need a way to punch through the cinder block if that's the exterior wall.
Hammer drill and a long bit are the best here, aim for the mortar, it's a lot easier to get through. Once you're ready, cut the end off and simply
pull it through and relocate. It's not a bad idea to try and reuse or purchase some of those gromets to protect the wire at your new
hole locations. once relocated, terminate the end per the instructions on the package of RG59/6 connectors and boom. Now, biggest problem
will be if you don't have enough line for where you want to move it to. In this case you'd need to pick up some RG59/6 and run new line.
Its not hard, if you've ever done any kind of electrical or network related lowvoltage this stuff is a piece of cake. Just another time/money thing
unfortunately.

All that said and i did jump to an assumption that these were indeed RG59/6 cables and not cat5. Cat5 is an oversized telephone looking plug into your computer/router. RG59/6 is the twist on stuff to your cable box/tv ect.

You know, i haven't been on in ages ha i even forgot my username... primary reason i was getting on was to check your thread. funny

Oh well, welcome back. Nice to see you active again. I hope you and your family had a very Happy Xmas and a Merry New Year.

They shouldn't be active anymore. They ran new wires for me. Face just suggested what to do so I will cut them and place them in the wall and cover the holes with some type of compound.

Holes have been filled. Will wait for them to dry, sand, and paint.

Naw I'm still under stocked. lolol It's the new marine grazer doughnut. I give one to them three times a week. It stays together and doesn't fall apart and pollute the tank.

Nope because my cups are super glued to my algae cleaning magnet.

My glass is to thick for it and my tangs are to aggressive towards the nori. But that is a good product.
