Bob Catanzarite wired his house. He learned a lot and posted a comprehensive survey of his findings on a sepcialized site called Structured wiring HowTo. How nice. Bos points to a site called « Low Voltage Home Pre-Wire Guide Installation Information for the Do-it-Yourselfer« , wich could prove interesting (also in .pdf!).
