Always good to plan ahead when the walls are open.

Also, since you'll most likely be installing shelving to the walls, throw on a couple of these suckers to protect the existing electrical in the walls.

I recommend using acoustic sealer when installing the vapor barrier as well.

Perfect, thanks. I did run the Cat5 cables already to two spots for just this reason and/or a TV in the future. I've watched quite a few youtube videos now and I think I got it down, but protecting the cables is a great idea and one I had not seen so far. I do plan to put a lot of shelving up.
