Got it! Just scrolled down to the Cookalong/Carrots thread and was reminded of Carrot Cake. I've got all the ingredients - so happy I have all that cream cheese! Sometimes just writing out a problem helps me figure out the solution -

A couple of my favorites that I think are awesome - the Sue's crumb cake is enough to feed an army. The other two don't need to be served piping hot - warm or room temp is fine, since you have to travel. Simpler Times French Toast (David - Lakeguy) Chef & Innkeeper Cindy Belford, Simpler Times Inn, Grand Lake O'the Cherokees 8 cups sweet French bread in 1" cubes 5 eggs 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon nutmeg 3 cups milk or Half & Half 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 1 cup chopped pecans 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup brown sugar Put bread in large bowl. Whip eggs, sugar and nutmeg until light in color and thick. Add milk, stir and pour over bread. Cover and place in fridge overnight. In the morning, mix cup blueberries into bread and put in greased pan; sprinkle balance of blueberries on top, then pecans. In pan, melt butter and brown sugar until bubbly. Pour mixture over blueberries and pecans. Bake at 325 til puffed and brown - one hour. Marlen's Pull Apart Bacon Bread 1 pkg (10 oz) bacon 3/4 c green pepper, chopped 3/4 onion, chopped 3 tubes (7-1/2 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup margarine, melted 1/2 c (2oz) shredded cheddar cheese Cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving drippings. Crumble and set aside. In bacon drippings (or vegetable oil) cook green pepper and onion until tender. Cut biscuits in fourths and place in large bowl. Add sauteed vegetables, crisp bacon, margarine and cheese. Toss until thoroughly mixed. Place in a 10" tube pan coated with Pam. Bake at 350* for 30 minutes. Immediately invert onto serving plate. Serve warm. CRUMB CAKE BY SUE (from Sue/Cookingrvc) 1. Make Crumb mixture 2. Make Cake mix 3. Bake cake half way 4. Top with crumbs 5. Bake rest of the way 6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar CRUMBS 1 lb butter or margarine 2 Tsps. Vanilla 4 Cups Flour 2 Tsps. Cinnamon 1 Cup White Sugar In a large pot on the stove, melt the butter and add the vanilla and then mix in the remainder of the ingredients. Spread out with a large spoon and/or a spatula on a cookie sheet to dry out a little. Then make the cake. 1 Box of yellow cake mix. Make according to recipe on the box. Put the cake in a pan 11.5 inches by 17 inches. Bake the cake half way through the baking time (according to the package directions - this will be about 15-20 minutes). Take the crumb mixture and, using a spatula, lift it off the cookie sheet in chunks and, using your hands, crumble it up into big crumbs and put the crumbs on the cake (this will be a little messy) and continue baking until the end of the baking time. Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a rack. Wait until the cake is completely cooled and dust generously with powdered sugar. Lots of powdered sugar!

A couple of additional thoughts: 1) For security cameras, you almost certainly will not need cat6, and could use cheaper cat5e instead (unless you will really need that additional throughput available on cat6 and will be using 4k cameras or something!). Also if you will not be using PoE (power over ethernet) cameras, make sure you have power near the camera locations. Save the cat6 for high-bandwidth needs like computer networks and video streaming. 4) Depending on how long these runs are, you may need intermediate amps or additional amps at the ends to compensate for power loss over long runs. I bet you can find calculators online that take into account the length of the run, the wire gauge, and amp power to see if you'll need the extra help or not. 5) consider running Cat5e for the volume control so you can decide to go with a fancy touchpad or something if you want. I would expect the 'regular' volume control wire is just 22/4 or something, so even if you don't go fancy with the controls, you could just use 4 wires of the cat5 anyways. And a few additional possibilities: 7) If you think you might ever want a security system, put wiring in for sensors to all doors/windows now, as well as for control panels, door intercoms, etc. If you run multi-conductor wire (like cat5) you can potentially piggyback the window sensor wires if you want to add motorized shades later as well. 8) Run 1-2 RG6 cables from the central media location to the attic for a tv antenna and a cell repeater antenna (if you think you might have cell reception problems in the house) 9) If you have a large house, run Cat6 to additional locations in the house for wifi repeaters/boosters to increase coverage.

Dantastic, You mentioned one of the most valid concerns/issues. There is a roof cricket between the gables and I am still revising how to simplify that area. Mark/ILoveRed: I worked on a simplification of the roof a while ago and that option modifies a bit the back gable: I got rid of the Dutch hip (above the screen porch) and detailed the gable similar to the garage gable. I my opinion, it looks better and cleaner - but that might change again if I change the roof.
