Hmmm, if you gotta ask... :)

comp.home.automation is a good place to start. There are constant
discussions of interior wiring, both before and after a house is
constructued. I live in a 2 story house with a finished basement, and
have had to run cable through *lots* of walls, cubbyholes, plenums,
etc. I've got a Merlin Plus phone switch (4-pair per extension, cable
hog!), Appletalk and single-lines/fax (cat-3), plus video and cable
modems (RG-6 quad-shield for video/data cable), and I've wired just
about every room in the house (including bathrooms), so I know the
*insides* of the house better probably then the builders. The real
trick is getting between floors - sometimes that means going form the
basement to the house attic, just to wire the 2nd floor. The trick is
to get to know the 'cubby-holes', such as the attic, basement,
crawlspaces, etc. Just be patient, find the proper runs, install good
outlet boxes to the studs, do *NOT* under *ANY* circumstances run high
(power) and low (data) voltage cable together, and it'll all work out.
