I'm complaining, and I'm not trying to use it for something I shouldn't. I work in the aerospace and defense industry, and I never see such a mess in a professional environment. I have built a few server rooms and installed server systems into vehicles, and wire management, for the simple sake...

The house I am moving into is a truss, but the house I am in now has real usable attic space that isn't usable because of data and electrical cables running across the room, on the floor, in the air, everywhere.

I have been through over a dozen homes under construction in the past few weeks, and not one performed any cable management. ALL wires were run "diagonal," that is directly from point A to point B.

*nods* Thank you, Neal.

I just bought a new-build house. Earth will be moved in a few weeks. I've gone through a fair number of homes under construction before, but I am still very green. Something has been really bothering me though: Why are the electrical and data lines not run cleanly and neatly through...

A truss company will rewire my attic, or are you concerned that the attic space isn't strong enough for storage, and that is why it was never roughed in?

The garage is on the other side, specifically the fuse box and the water heater. Extending the closet would be costly, and the house isn't worth a lot of money. Alternatively, extending the bedroom into the backyard might be less costly and add more square footage to the house. This would...

The "floor" of the attic is made of 2x8s at 16in apart. I am sure it is suitable for storage. I suspect that all the contractors did their job as quickly and cheaply as possible, because whichever homeowner at the time, including myself, was too ignorant of the situation to insist they respect...

Charlie, Thank you for your input. Yes, you are right, moving the door or widening it so that it fills the closet would definitely maximize the space. Unfortunately, this closet is in the bathroom (I didn't design it), and the vaniety is on one side and the door to the bathroom is on the...

My house has three wall closets that are 3ft x 10ft. Unfortunately, all of them only have a 4ft opening in the middle, leaving two 3ftsq areas in the corners. I’m imaging adding shelving to these areas, leaving only a 4ft wide hanging garment space and two alcoves of shelves for folded clothes...

I have two points of egress to my attic space: one in the house proper which contains the HVAC and one over the garage that is large enough to store seasonal items. The usable area is covered in wires. Every contractor that has ever run a line in the house has done so in starburst style...
