The demarc is mounted on the side of the house behind.  There are 2 
demarcs...and I really have no idea which one is in use.

The problem is that two rooms seem to be wired together which creates 
issues isolating the one.

The wiring at the demarc isn't what worries me (it's not locked...I've 
seen inside it before).  It's the two rooms being wired together that 
worries me. ;)
