Well, looks like it’s time to bring out the big guns, here’s an important lesson, don’t skimp on brains. I learned my lesson the hard way by trying to patch up drywall for the third time just to install one wire for a simple doorbell. Mistakes happen.
First, here’s what you need to do: when renovating, make sure to talk to your electrician in hushed tones about installing neutral wires in each switch box. Future you will thank me for the advice. It wouldn’t hurt to have smart outlets around the TV area either no more bending to plug in the router.
Lastly, label everything. I dubbed my living room lights “Dramatic Dave” and he always hits the spot.
The secret to success? Always plan in advance for the technology you don’t yet own. Make room for the technology of the future by installing conduits in the walls for your future tech. You’re going through renovations, but being welcomed by a home that recognizes you and plays your music? Pure bliss.
