Yes, 4 to the main bath room, 2 each to the gust shower room and
downstairs toilet. You didn't ask why, so that saves me making up any
excuse ;-)

Garage if you have one (I have 4 ports there), shed(s) and other outdoor
locations are useful, but CAT5 cable is not designed for outdoor use, so
you will need to run it through trunking or something similar. Of course
if it is only computer access you want outside, then a wireless access
point is far more flexible.
