This house is single story, but does have a crawl space under the house,
so it is reasonably accessible. So I'm not so fussed about having
draw-wires. For folks on concrete slab, this is certainly a must have.
Although I will definitely be putting in a draw wire for the conduit
running out to the garage. I suspect I'll be using the existing phone
wire as a pull wire to pull through some cat5 and RG6... If that
conduit is big enough...
