ࡗ You should be able to use a plumb line or level to set both horizontal and vertical sur-
faces. This is especially critical for vertical surfaces.
ࡗ You should know how to drill holes in the mounting surface (whether wood, brick,
cinder block, etc.).

includes sealing the holes once the cable has been installed.
