See what you guys really need is a
Whole House Vacuum system.
The few times ive seen them installed in houses i've always said I wanted one, but thought, hell, them things are like ridiculous expensive...
It doesnt seem that bad though. I mean, a good main unit is under 500bux, put it at 250 for the "pipes, fittings, low voltage wire, etc" and say another 50 bux for various attachments.
Granted, it's a lot of "WORK" to put these in the wall (though if its a new install or a gut and remodel, it shouldnt be so bad.
