Locations are my priority, you cannot beat having at least on outlet
where you need it, so as to minimise on long extension leads. If
multiple outlets are needed in one location, then they will be certain
to be low power needs, so a plug in multi-adaptor is usually fine. Says
he who at a rough count 50 actual outlets or more, scattered round the
house, my two workshops the garage and the garden.

There's a good wiring regulation in many of the US states.
You must be able to plug in an appliance positioned anywhere
around the edge of the room with a 6' lead, without the lead
crossing a doorway.

How strict are they on that? For instance to do that in my living room
would require one of the sockets to be positioned right where is the
obvious location for a radiator.
