Greetings!
In the next couple of months, we'll be embarking on some significant renovations at my 1920's-era Dutch Colonial here in Baltimore. Primarily, we're doing bathrooms, but because they're one atop the other, I'll have walls, ceilings, and floors "open" from the basement to the attic, over the course of the project. (The bathrooms, conveniently, are located in the center of the house). I figure now's the time to run loads of cables from the basement to the attic, and to install them in a number of rooms, while I'm at it. I have visions of grandeur and the budget of a peasant, but if nothing else I'll get all of the cables in place, ready to terminate as appropriate.
I have put together a diagram of everything I'm thinking of doing...
A little ambitious perhaps, but I'll be doing the labor myself, and in the end, copper's (relatively) cheap.
The only pieces currently in place are the DSL Modem, router, switch, wireless access point, SIP PBX and the MythTV Backend. Right now I do most of what I need to with a wireless backhaul from the basement to the upper floor. Not pretty, but it's relatively functional.
My questions are:
Your thoughts are much appreciated.

My questions are:
- Everything look right?
- Anything missing?
- I'm tempted to run the door/window sensors through the punchdown block to help provide some "order". Thoughts?
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
