I ran Ethernet from the basement to the first floor office and living room over the holiday break. That was one of my main goals for my first house.

The next project will probably be figuring out how to properly insulate the garage. It's attached to the house via an uninsulated shitty door and that's a problem when the garage is 38°F and I want the house to stay around 68°F.

I've done the ethernet thing in two houses now. The first one was a single floor model, so it was relatively easy to run the wires through the attic to the rooms I wanted.

Our current house is two stories, and I wanted it in my office on the second floor and at a closet along the way for an access point. That was a bit harder!

I might need to run it to my wife's office at some point. That one might be harder based on where she'll need it, compared to the stairs.

Insulate the garage because the door to the garage from the house is uninsulated?

Consider deeply how you can insulate the garage ceiling/roof and whether you'll lose storage doing it.

Also, assuming you'll be in the walls... Outlets may need to be GFCI - code would say.

And since your list probably isn't long enough, are you planning on 30a+ outlet for an EV in the future?
