I want to run two Cat5e or Cat6 cables (to opposite sides of the
room) and one or two RG-6 cables to my bedroom. I also want to run
a cable (or cables) to my computer room for one telephone and one
DSL line.

I am not well enough to go into the crawlspace. I could probably do
the wiring inside the house.

What is the best way for me to hiring someone to run the wires in
the crawlspace (about 30 inches tall with dirt floor)? I want
someone who will do a good job at a reasonable price. I do not need
it done quickly. Thank you in advance for all replies.

After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few
seconds to several minutes. His favorite are the ones that
rattle. He'll play with any ball that makes noise.

I'd ask friends and neighbors for recommendations. A basic
handyman type is all you need. That is the best route. If
that doesn't work, then I guess there is always Craigslist,
but definitely not my preferred method. Make sure to get
referrences and check them and have a simple agreement
in writing that specifies the scope of the work and price.

If you're going to do this I'd run 2x CAT5e/CAT6 and 2x RG-6 quad
shield to every room you're touching, for future-proofing. (1 CAT for
network, 1 CAT for phone, 1 coax for cable, 1 coax for antenna.) I
know that didn't exactly answer your question, but just thought I'd
throw that out there.

look for a cable, phone, or satellite installer truck in your area and ask
him if he'd do a side job on his off time.

Your best bet for cheap is a good friend or neighbor.

40 years of cleaning up after smart, well-intentioned people doing simple
things led me to the conclusion that there ain't no simple things.

While probability is overwhelmingly on your side, statistics don't do
any good for the poor soul who is the exception. You may have half a second
to ponder, "what idiot put a water main, or electrical wire or gas pipe
right where I drilled?"

Make sure your homeowners insurance is paid up and covers damage to
your property and your helper. What do you do when your helpful neighbor
impales himself something poking out of the ground or hanging from the
floorboard? He may be your best friend, but the lawyer handling his
estate ain't. But this will never happen....until it does...

Random hires off the books are probably worse.

Hire a licensed, bonded professional to do it if you wanna be safe
and poor...

But don't overlook the possibility of the licensed professional doing
something dumb. I had floor insulation installed. The licensed
professionals who did it got tired of snagging their clothing on the
nails sticking down from the floor. What did they do? They banged
them up till they were flush. Who'da thunk that the nail heads
would pop up under the rugs? GRRRRR!!! EVERY TIME I've hired something
done, they've screwed up their work PLUS some unrelated stuff I had to fix.

You don't say exactly what you're doing, but most things are wireless these
days.
I can't imagine most people needing a wired phone.

Here's what I did, originally to clean up DSL signal properties.
I ran a wire from the phone junction box on the outside,
and poked it thru an outside wall near the computer. Put a DSL filter
inside the junction box to isolate the WHOLE house at once.
Now, that old house wiring is isolated from the DSL.
The wire goes to the wireless router/dsl modem combination.
The base unit(s) for one or more cordless phones can go anywhere
there's an existing phone socket.
Everything else is wireless.
You won't have any problems when that new big screen tv forces a
rearrangement
of the room.

And the whole wireless setup is probably cheaper than having a wire
put in by a professional. Especially if you include the cost to
fix up what they break.

All depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

That's one option. My idea was to phone the churches in your
area, see if they can reccomend a teenager who is quality
minded, and can work inexpensively.

That would be my first thought. With many cable/dish companies they are
sub-k's anyway. They will already have materials which will be cable
company quality. I would think the wire & connectors used will be much
better than what some jaboni would use from Radio Shack or the Borg. They
would have proper tools like crimpers that provide good connections as well
as testers/toners that it woulld be $ impractical to own for an occasional
hack. Just my thoughts.

Around here, the weekly free ad paper has a least a dozen ads from
moonlighting or semi-retired ex-Ma-Bell or similar telecom wire
stringers, looking for side jobs like that. Expect to pay cash.
Experience pays on stuff like that- typical runs they can knock out in
an hour or two.

Some kids think they know what they're doing but don't know.

And their parents may not know what they know either.

You'd need some way to vet such kids, maybe those they've done the
same thing for. Quality-minded is not quality-competent.

BTW, the kid who mowed my lawn is now a vice-president of a Fortune-20
ocmpany. The person who had his current job until 3 months ago is one
step up now and has his picture on the corporate webpage.

You say, "EVERY TIME I've hired something done [by a licensed
professionsal], they've screwed up their work PLUS some unrelated
stuff I had to fix." but you want him to hire a good friend or
neigbhor to do a job requiring undetermined time which includes
drilling holes in his house.

That's a great way to ruin a friendship and make an enemy of a
neighbor.

Never do any kind of business with such people if you can avoid it,
and certainly not this.

40 years of cleaning up after smart, well-intentioned people doing simple

LOL...

See, this is exactly the sort of nightmare job that pros won't touch
unless they are allowed to do all the work...

Confined space ? Be prepared to pay for someone who takes on
that kind of work...

A pro isn't going to want to run the wires for you and let you connect
them, that just opens up all sorts of cans of worms unless you are
willing to sign a waiver up front... All sorts of grey areas there
and
you could hook up the connections wrong and complain that there
is something wrong with the wire, the pro would be out time and
energy to come back and figure out how you incorrectly connected
it... However, an installed, fully connected and tested outlet will
carry some kind of written guarantee...
