comment How do I maximize the value of my home for an upcoming appraisal?
Thanks for the comments. Didn't realize that a question like this was so incredibly off topic (my bad!) As per the comments of "I'd be lucky if they even drive by" the appraiser called, and scheduled a 1-hour walkthrough of the home, so I am assuming it would be more than just a spreadsheet.

comment Is there any NEC code requirement for how far off the floor Category 5 wiring must be run?
My reason for running Cat5e (actually, 3/4" conduit, within cat5e is run) was due to business reasons (I do consulting, and run simulations that can create hundreds of GB worth of data per week, which I need to back up over the network.. with link aggregation I can get 3Gbit to the backup server). As for routers, switches, etc.. there is quite a bit more $$$ going into them than the cat5e cable and conduit, as I need managed switches for doing the link aggregation.

What don't you have faith in regarding PT lumber? Strength? Rot/insect resistance?

@Steven: For flush mount situations (which are seen in may homes/finished basements in the US), there are knockouts on the top and bottom of the breaker box as well.

comment How does one typically do “Old Work” with metal junction boxes?
Thanks Shirlock. I found a telescoping fan box at HD (now that I knew what to look for) this evening, and it worked great!

I am planning on installing a 4' florescent fixture that needs to be flush with the ceiling, so unfortunately I think the box needs to be recessed into the ceiling.
