1) Switched Light/Fan for Queen's Room. Fan to be selected, color white. Use exposed conduit if necessary. Switch need only control light, or both. One-wire fan control is unreliable. I like pullchain control of fan and 3 lights as I have in kitchen. However, dual remotes (one for wall switch) would be good solution also. Problem is that wall switch must always override remote. In principle, a thoughtful electronic design would make this possible. For example, if wall switch already on, you would turn off then on and then previous off-state would be overridden. Casablanca fans using the W-52 controller seem to have this feature, that turning power on resets light to on regardless of previous remote status. Plus the W-52 can mount over a wall switch. Plus multiple handheld remotes can be programmed for used with each fan. Casablanca fans also look to be a step above Hunter generally, and flexibly configurable. Casablanca, like Hunter, is a real well known fan company, not a retailer's label. Casa Viejo is the label used by Lamps Plus for their imported fans.
10) Consult on dedicated 20A circuit for whirlpool, and future additions.
2) Fix Kings Bath fan. I now have a replacement unit which would be OK. Should locate old fan and motor in case re-use better.
3) Add unswitched outlet to Queen's Room if existing switched outlet cannot be made unswitched for step (1).
4) Make 3 outlets in Queen's Room GFCI outlets. White Decora with extra large plates. Verify that 4th is on GFCI circuit, replace outlet with white standard and large plate. Rewire and fix outlet where Rain Bird plugs in. Possibly make close outlet for Rain Bird.
5) Install Swann camera on south side of house, run wire somehow (attic?) to kitchen. Possibly also second camera?
6) Add 10 gauge dedicated outlet to King's room for audio.
7) New back yard light fixture and automated switch. With automated switch, I can override on or off but still be sure unit comes on at dusk tomorrow.
8) Timer switches for fan and heat lamp in both bathrooms. (This may be too expensive, but I think it's time to ask)
9) Consult on front door intercom. I currently like wireless one with doorbell hookup to outside for continuous video camera, the Optix iVision. However, perhaps best to wait until multiple receiver unit becomes available. That would be ideal.

Other ideas) Hall bathroom fan due for upgrade. Cat-5 in Queen's Room and others through attic? Coax and/or double Cat-5 from King's to Kitchen? Ceiling light/fan in King's Bedroom? More outlets in bathrooms? Are Rob's wall boxes OK? Exhaust fan in garage?
Update: Electrician now booked for March 27.
