After 500 feet of 12-gauge speaker wire, 200 feet of CAT-5, 200 feet of microphone cable, 80 feet of HDMI, and over 500 feet of electrical cable, I can finally say I'm finished with the wiring. The speaker wire includes the wires up to the plant shelf near the ceiling in the kitchen and rough-ins for speakers in the backyard. Of course, with that much wire, now I've got an antenna capable of picking up signals from the Andromeda galaxy.
Next step is to start installing soundproofing insulation in the wall and ceiling spaces around the home theatre. This will reduce any reverberation from the audio system and reduce noise from the drain pipes from upstairs.
