Wires wires everywhere....

.
Here is just a small example of the wires running everywhere through our house right now (these are at the 200 amp subpanel for most of the house - main outside panel is a 400 amp model). I was in Denver for a conference for most of last week, and this is what I came back to.
.
Wires for power, satellite TV, surround sound, phone, etc. are in the process of being put in. Most of the central vacuum lines are in as well. Bathroom fans have been installed, too. Most of the switch and plug boxes are in place. Hose bibs on the outside of the house are installed. I also had the builder stub out a gas line at three places on the outside of the house in case we decide to have a built-in BBQ somewhere sometime in the future....

I included this photo to show the curious what the fire sprinklers look like at this stage. You can see the fire sprinkler line in yellow - the red caps are where the sprinklers are. You can look here for more information on these:

You can also see that the downlights have been installed (these are in the kitchen). The whole house fan is in the right side of the photo.

Apparently Bay Alarm and our builder have figured out an installation schedule that works for both of them, so that is who we will go with. They are also about 1/3 cheaper on the monthly fee than ADT, which is nice.
