We got a trustworthy contractor first of all. I planned how I wanted it wired. Had the receptacles in the living room and bedrooms split wired. Meaning half of each receptacle was hot all the time for TV,VCR,etc. The other have of each receptacle was wired to switch for lamps. It's nice in the bedrooms when you walk in the door and flip the wall switch on and the lamp next to the bed comes on. When I get in bed I just reach over and turn the lamp off. When I get up I just reverse the process. I'm never walking in the dark this way. Looking back I would have had every room wired like this.
Every entrance/exit to any/every room should have a light switch. We have 4 light switches on different walls for our living room.
I Wish I would have put in light switches at the kitchen sink for both lights in the kitchen. It would keep me from having to walk to another wall to turn on or turn off the kitchen lights when doing dishes at the sink. We do have a recessed light above the sink and there is no need to have the other kitchen lights on.
I'm now contemplating on putting in a small seperate circuit just for lights hooked up to a generator for when the power goes out. It would not be hooked to my main service at all anywhere.
