Hello out there,
We are rehabbing a victorian townhouse and want to put in something
more attractive than the standard wireless doorbell button. We want to
avoid an expensive "real" wiring job. Is this possible?
thanks,

Drill a hole in the underside of the porch roof,
and run a 1/2" woven nylon rope up to an 18"
school-bell on the upstairs deck.
