I'm moving into my new home (which was built in 1962) in the next month or two. My plan is to run cat 6 throughout, before I get the bulk of my stuff/furniture in. Hopefully I won't need to smash into too many walls but there will be a few. Definitely worth it in the long run though.
- m463 4y agoThere are so many things I think about "if I had just done X in those few weeks before moving in the furniture". This is an opportunity - you might want to brainstorm X. anything in the kitchen (before you start depending on it for food and/or fill the fridge with perishable stuff) mindfully adding specific storage. Could be the difference between moving in and piling all your stuff in random places. related: garage - before it becomes the "catch all" for unresolved boxes of stuff you move with. A friend said overpaying closetworld for cabinets around the perimeter of his garage was money well spent. adding electrical outlets, switches, etc and yeah, cat5 or fiber
- petepete 4y agoSorry only just saw this. Thanks for the tips. Thankfully I'm in no rush to move out of my current home (I'll have a 2 month overlap) so plenty of time to get the 'infrastructure' stuff done first.
