Are you absolutely 100% certain where you will put all the
furniture/how you will use the space? I've been caught out before, and
next time round I'll be putting N cables into each corner of each
room, not just N cables to one point in the room. They don't even have
to be terminated/punched down until you use them - a blanking plate
over the wall box and a tail in N0 is enough.

Also - you mention having two Node 0's. Are you going to provide
plenty of cable runs *between* them?
