[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're mid-renovation and trying to be thoughtful about future-proofing. So far we’ve done:

[list]Cat6 to every TV and office area
Outlets on both sides of double vanities
Conduit for future cable runs
Ceiling fan-rated boxes in bedrooms
Prewiring for ceiling speakers
Water spigot for our detached garage (considering)
[b]Blocking behind walls for future mounts/shelves
Conduit or wiring for future motorized blinds (Considering)[/b]
[/list]

Are there other small but high-impact upgrades you wish you'd done during your reno? Think stuff like under-cabinet lighting wiring, extra outlets, or smart home prewiring.

Would love to hear what people regret skipping — or are glad they included![/quote]

Those are good. Even empty PVC pipes for future wiring upgrades, etc. Don't forget extra pipe insulation on exterior walls or hot water lines, etc.

Sealing wall joints and open spaces helps drafts in walls and outlets, and also bug intrusions.

Basically think about what could break, and how to make it easier to fix in advance. [/quote]
