Ladder line is the most efficient feed line you can use for HF frequencies 
however it is subject to external influences such as near by metal which 
effects it's impedence. You have to be careful with this as it might cause 
an excessive amount of RF in the shack.  My suggestion is to bring the 
ladder line up a convenient point at your house and then use a balun and 
bring coax into the radios in the house.
