But, thanks to this little world of blogging, I was able to at least somewhat educate myself as to what to expect for this meeting. And because of that, it was painless, we got right down to the point, got what we wanted, and left spending very minimal amounts of money.
Things we don't need:
Surround sound. The way technology is now-a-days, I am perfectly content eventually getting a sound bar or something like that for "surround sound". I have no desire to have speakers throughout the house.
Central vac. We have shelties. Tiny, furry shelties. You've seen their cute faces if you've read any of the blog. Well, those tiny furry shelties shed. A LOT. We got the sch-peal about the central vac, but didn't even inquire about pricing. It wasn't for us. Neat, but not for us.
TV prewiring. We don't plan on hanging any TVs. Don't like the look of it. I must prefer an entertainment center with the TV sitting on it.
With that being said... what did we get??
5 cable outlets-- one for each room, the basement plus one in the family room.
We opted for the alarm system as well. We originally weren't. Figured we didn't need it, but we really really liked some of the features. Especially the whole being able to control it from your phone deal.
So, with the alarm system, we get 1 control panel, 4 door contacts {for each door}, glassbreak sensors on the windows in the morning room {most vulnerable area in the house}, and some type of fancy smoke detector.
And that's it! We walked outta there spending a whopping $350. We will have the option for cable in each room, and a security system.
That's it.
Easy peasy.
