Damn, and people claim I'm nuts!

You know, you could go whole hog and multihome.

I've got 1 cabinet and 1 two-post rack in the basement.  I'm also
building out a small patch panel in a closet on the second floor.

That way, I don't have to do so many home-runs from the wall ports in
the living spaces back down to the basement.
