I just don't think about electricity. I don't have high expectations. I merely expect to flick a switch and have my lights go on or off. I don't want to think about the color of my switches... or if my switches are slides or switches... or if they turn on/off the wall outlets... or which wall the switch should be located... or how many switches control a single light... or where outlets should be... or even what darn light fixtures I want in a house. Cripes!!!
These decisions weren't hard - just time consuming. Three hours spent at the office with the electrician and blueprints, and then another three hours on site with him for a walk-through to make sure we got the plan right. We spent a little more on actual electrical work, but it will result in less fixtures. So, it's basically a budget wash. Instead of using Madison Lighting, I found beautiful light fixtures at Home Depot and Home Concepts for a fraction of the price. I loaded them into the truck and delivered them to the electrician's warehouse for safekeeping. Awesome --one thing DONE!
Surround sound and home audio is another matter. The builder didn't include much of an allowance in our budget for audio / video wiring. We decided on a moderate system, which will be awesome. I can't wait to be able to play the stereo in almost any room... even my patio! :)
