    As a teenager over 20 years ago, I had my parents put in ethernet after the house was built and I wanted to game in my bedroom haha. At least it was CAT 5E and not just CAT 5 like the electrician wanted to put in.

    Overprovisioning when building a home is like the prepper saying: two is one and one is none.

    I'm so embarrassed now, thinking about how we have to use an extension cord for our Raclette grill... we have an 8-tray Raclette Grill and our neighbors have a 12 tray grill which also made us feel inadequate but at least they have to use an extension cord too.

    Writer is in Belgium. I didn't realize that they ate Raclette way up there.

    > didn’t systematically leave redundant pull strings

    I don’t leave redundant pull strings and rarely even pre-pull the first one. Only if the conduit is going underground do I pre-pull (before it takes on water).

    Install the first with a shop vac and a “mouse” made of thin shopping bag.

    When I use a pull string, I pull a replacement one in. In a conduit I expect to get repeated changes, I might install one twice as long plus about 12 feet (4 meters) and tie it off at both ends.
