Ok...so electrical systems may not be too exciting, but I thought I'd point out a few items most people never see. Have you ever worried about popping a nail into an electrical wire or water line when trying to hang a picture? These items should give you some peace of mind. The first two pictures show steel nailing plates that are installed on the studs, behind the Sheetrock. If your were to use a stud finder and then attempt to nail into wall, the plates would stop you from piercing the wire or tubing. Cool, huh?
Arbor homes & our low voltage contractor, Azimuth Communications are trying to help future proof the home for you. Seen here is the rough wiring of the structured wiring system. This panel is located in the upstairs laundry room. By installing Cat5e & cable wiring in various rooms, you will have lots of possibilities of how to use it in the future. This panel also have an electrical outlet at the base. The system enables you to have one modem for the entire house and then distribute the signal out to wherever necessary. The homes are also pre-wired for future alarm systems. This includes a "drop" outside the front door that could be used for a video surveillance camera.
