Hi!  Sorry for the OT, but I figured that the topic ties into this
community pretty nicely

Any advice, websites, books, etc out there for wiring a home during
construction?  I'll be starting to build my house in the next month or
so from the ground up.  I've pretty much got carte blanche on what I
can do, and I plan to do most of the wiring for cat6, coax, phone,
A/V, speaker, etc myself to gain some sweat equity, and I'm just a DIY
kinda guy - which I'm sure most of you on this list can relate to.

So... Where should I start?  I want to do it "right", and I want to
make sure that I'm futureproofing it as much as I can.  I've got some
general ideas and thoughts, and I'm no stranger to making cables, I've
just never done a full home setup before from the ground up.

Also, I don't know if I'll do home automation from the start, but it'd
be nice to get anything I'd need behind the walls while I can, so that
I'm set to go.

Thanks!
Matt
