Cross-Posted on the Home Improvement Board
I figured I'd post this as some inspiration/ behind the scenes for the board in the event anyone is renovating and looking to tackle their own low voltage wiring.
We are currently in the middle of renovating most of the downstairs (minus the master) of our house in West Houston. I've handled pulling in all the low voltage wiring. Not the first time that I've done this....mostly self-taught from the internet and YouTube.
The scope includes a 1-inch flex conduit back to the demark on the back of the detached garage, a total of 30+ internet and cable drops in the mud room, study, game room (upstairs), garage, living room, porch (cameras), back patio and master bedroom (future)...along with TP Link Omada access points for the first floor, second floor, and garage. Additionally, I ran audio lines for a 6-channel whole-home audio system with speakers in the living room (will be tied to a Frame TV), kitchen, dinning room, front porch, back porch, and upstairs playroom.
Below are some photos of the process. Blue wire is general internet, red wire is for access points, gray wire is for cameras, black is RG6 quad shield and white wire is 14/2 L/R audio.
Conduit running into under-stair closet along with lines going out to garage (all in PVC once exiting house and crossing breezeway.)

Other side of under-stair closet. Blue conduit runs all the way back to the demarc and has now been pulled in with fiber (AT&T), cat-6 and RG6
Rack in plastic. The rack houses a TP Omada router and switch, Ring Alarm Pro base station, AT&T fiber gateway and ONT, Lutron Caseta hub, external network hardrive, DAX88 6-channel whole-home amp, Cat6 and RG6 patch panels, and a CyberPower rackmount UPS.
