I'm kind of thinking of doing the outdoor side of the house run myself. All my network equipment is in the basement and the second floor would involve difficult drilling and cutting holes in drywall to get access to drill. I don't really like the idea of drilling holes in the exterior walls of my house all that much though. One tip I read while researching this is to make sure the low point where the cable enters the house has a loop or other feature such that the cable's lowest point isn't also the entry point of the house. This way condensation and water will drip off the cable instead being fed right into your wall.

Now that I have disposable income, and a fair amount of common sense, I would probably ask an electrician-friend to help me out on a project like this. Although, Crosstalk Solutions has some very nice comprehensive videos on how they wired up some houses up at a lake[1], and it doesn't feel _that_ difficult, although there's probably a lot of know-how and gotchas they don't mention in the videos.
