For some strange reason I think much the same thing every time your sig brightens my day Swifty.Need more pictures!
Loving the whole setup, It's a bit of a shame all the Baluns seem to be so expensive though.
Will you be using your PS3 controllers wirelessly, or does the play and charge cable send data too? I love the idea that you could send the video, sound and usb from anything in your rack to anywhere else in the house with full bandwidth.
By the time I can afford to build a House (If Ever) I expect that a combination of ultra high speed Wireless and Light Peak style Fibre Optics which can transport multiple protocols simultaneously will have done away with much of the complexities of your build.

How does the type on construction change our land values, ground work requirements, and planning processes?
Not really, not by a meaningful amount as the above ground construction phase isnt usually the issue.
Fair enough, perhaps watching Grand Designs isn't enough to become an expert in construction lol.
It doesnt take very long at all to block build, getting to the point where you have the groundworks in place is the lengthy part in the UK. Our planning sucks, our land values suck. Its a nightmare

Do you realise how long it takes to untangle and terminate 88 CAT6 cables?I'm getting update withdrawal... *shakes* Everytime this thread appears in my User CP I get all excited that you've posted something new.
Appreciated it's Christmas etc.. but whenever you're ready mate.
I'll post updates later as the kitchen is now done (mostly). Just the professional tap to fit.
What are you going to do when one of those cables develops a fault
Cry? In seriousness, I'll be testing them after I've punched them down, so if something happens in the future it shouldn't be that hard to trace it.

We had to wait 6 months for planning, and in that time we considered timber frame. It's a bigger cost upfront, requires a lot more planning but it goes up quicker, but then you need carpenters to put it up so the estimated costs were around the same as block.. and so we went block.

Are you asking for help? I mean I'll do it if it means the regular updates start up again, just let me explain to the Mrs she'll be Christmas shopping on her own this weekend... second thoughts, you need a lodger?
Awesome, looking forward to it!

As promised, some more updates.
I'm posting more full size images, instead of thumbnails because I find people don't click thumbnails
A few things I'll point out, that may not be obvious.
The sink is missing a tap, the plinth has been fitted but dislodged (so I can clean under the units), the thin drawer next to the cooker is a spice rack and the worktop has been oiled since the last round of pictures.

Some updates regarding the utility room.
Some minor electrics to do here, such as wiring the pump in for the underfloor heating (currently plugged in to the standard socket, just so we can run it), and again, the tap needs to go on the sink.
The big gap under the boiler is for a washing machine and tumble drier.
