I'm doing some remodeling in the basement, basically taking a long wide open finished space (60x20) and turning into two rooms, basically a large bedroom + rec room and a fitness/media room. One of the biggest problems is the entire space was lit with a single switch / circuit and had one ethernet port. I know basements aren't popular in Richmond, but if you have a large open space think about how it might be broken up in the future and maybe have them wire it as separate areas. I'm also putting sound insulation in the wall for the media/fitness area which is something to think about. It's not overly pricey but definitely more than standard insulation, I'm using Rockwool Safe and Sound. Wish we had it in the walls around the washer/dryer room, good idea if you're having a media room built, and even walls that are shared by garage and living space.
