We went for total over kill and drove the contractors mad. Decided to future proof the entire house.

Wired 2 of the living rooms for sorround sound using flush plates with phono sockets.

RJ 11 phone sockets, UHF/VHF BL and F-Connectors for satellite / cable. in all of the rooms where there's likely to be a TV.

Couple of scart wall plates went in too ...


We also installed plenty of lighting sockets, for lamps etc.

No point in skimping when you're ripping holes in the walls and have a professional plasterer on hand!

We also made sure that good quality round duct was used for the communications stuff.. and that it comes up into the attic.. That way, we can easily push any other cables we need back down years later without having to damage plaster work.

Any story that starts with "I got home from the pub and decided to do a little DIY", and involves a can of BUILDING FOAM , has got to be funny.
