SO....I started this project in April. I tore out my carport concrete with a jackhammer I bought on eBay. I hired a guy with a bobcat and an excavator to dig out the carport to make a 2 feet deep crawlspace and I built a wood floor where the carport was, put in a bay window..... 30x30 garage and 600+ square foot upstairs bedroom.
All of this stuff is unfinished and I'm not starting on the electrical this week.
I'm decided to run 100 amp service to the attached garage from my main breaker for a sub panel to simplify that wing's electrical service. I'm going to run some RG6 coax for my satellite service and to relocate my cable modem/wifi access point to better cover the addition.
I started thinking about other things. Should I put in a RJ45 patch panel and setup VOIP devices throughout the house? I've thought about having an intercom system, but don't know how much we'd use it. Most of the house is one level, but my wife either yells for me or texts me on my cellphone. I think it'd be cool to have an intercom in a few of the rooms and perhaps one where the doorbell is.
I'm also thinking about wiring my smoke detectors together and wiring my media room for surround sound.
Are there any other things I should consider?
