Trust me I feel like that in most of our installs. We are re doing our own home. Ran 400m of cable yesterday. Dust everywhere. Will be worth it in the end.
I've been looking more into the VSSL today for my multi room (we have 18 zones wired) solution. And looking at the Audio Control Concert AVR-9 for my Atmos theater, as my basement project is about to be finished in the next month. Hey, I'm retired and this IS my hobby, I don't golf. I'm also looking at Lutron wireless light switches for the basement lighting. I'm rather fascinated, however, by VSSL's ability to stream all internet music or audio via Chromecast, Spotify, and Airplay on a single platform without using some else's app, and to control it all with your smart device OR by voice recognition with Google Home. My wife has a couple of Alexa's around the house and will use those every time over our much better Savant system with in-ceiling speakers. She says, "It's just a lot easier to talk to it". She's a true "techno-tard" and ultimately, I want her to use this stuff. She's like my base level standard of acceptance. If she likes and uses it then it probably works for anyone. I just need a VSSL demo before I dive head first. I'm calling some references next week. If anyone is interested, I'll let you know how it goes.

What sort of price is VSSL ?
I have been looking at systemline which will work with my Fibaro system
That's a good looking (read ambitious) part DIY set up you're going for!
I work in the industry and I would disagree with having volume controls in each room that was previously suggested. If you can stretch to a control or music system that allows you to have zonal music; Sonos being one very well known consideration for the latter, the app will ultimately be a better option than something permanent on the wall that will almost certainly look very dated in a very short time.
If you have any questions feel free to fire them across - I'm interested to see how this project develops.
Triax multiswitch arrived, home my research on all of this is correct! But managed to snap this one up on eBay fairly cheap.

Looking good.
Are you planning to get Sky Q as that multiswitch will be unlikely to work?
No plans to use Sky Q only Freesat built into the TVs. As long as things can be upgraded later (left a little excess coax) as needed I'm happy.
Depends on how its configured. You need a different dish and LNB to the normal Sky one as I don't think this one will take the input from a Quad LNB.
The Sky Q hybrid one is different again and if I remember correctly has issues if you try and multiplex it with Freeview from the aerial.
In the end I just ended up getting another dish fitted for Sky Q as it normally has only a twin feed and leaving the main dish as is.
Only if they change the frequencies
Btw what are you using the Unipi for ?
