Moving in on Friday, finally. Not everything
is 100% finished, but I spent a couple of hours wiring in
the patch panel and a couple of hours working out which
socket was which. Note: if you ask your builders to install
CAT5 for you remember to also ask them to label the ends. I
kind of assumed they'd do that. I also made the incorred
assumption that when the spec said "aerial points in every
room" it meant I got an aerial. No, I get a whole load of
cables in the loft ready for an aerial and distribution
amplifier to be installed. I'm finding it really hard to
find everything I want for the new house; I want some X10
light switches (fairly easy to find except I need one to
control 500W and they look cheap and tacky in white
plastic), a couple of sets of motorised curtains (harder to
find, impossible if you want to do >2.5m lengths), automated
heating control (found a couple, nothing perfect)
