Re: OK, how would you wire your OWN house?
i would like to share my dreams here,Thanks lile001 .
1) All lights & receptacles are as per NEC.
2) I would suggest one aquarium in the middle of living and light base below the bottom of the glass.
3) I would give all TV receptacle control near seating/bed area.
4) I would propose inverter circuit in all room to lit up atleast one light.
5) Lighting inside all wardrope when we open the door.
6) Solar system for emergency lighting & hot water.
7) surround speaker system in my entertainment room with projector arrangement.
8) As said earlier i would propose holidays lighting also.

Re: OK, how would you wire your OWN house?
All pipe... I'll have gut all the walls to do it though. Except for the yard, I just got done with putting in 1500w of up-lighting with a grafic eye I demo'ed out of a recent job. My yard looks like a diarama at a museum. One button fades up around the fire pit, another for the BBQ, one for the trees, etc. all set in scenes.

Re: OK, how would you wire your OWN house?
In my present house I built out a shop with 4 20a circuits, two down each side of the room. Duplex receptacles on every other stud, all at 42". Puts them over the workbench down one side and at a convenient height for pluging in freestanding machines like the drill press and band saw. Next time I'll put in some floor boxes on the centerline for things like the table saw that need walk-around room.
The next house will have holiday circuit (per SWMBO) and more switched receptacles for lighting. The switched ones will all be split, so you can control the light without switching the clock radio, etc.
Switch the top hole, so wall warts can stay alive in the bottom one.
I'll also have a LV panel and associated wiring to most rooms, with some easy way to upgrade the wiring when technology changes.
