Wiring up a house with HDMI cables wouldn't be recommended - the maximum length available commercially is about 15m (50ft?) regardless, and they only come pre-made.
You'd be better off with a HDCP compliant, HDMI v1.3 compliant HDMI over (dual) Cat5e cables, which extends the maximum length upto 60m (30m for slightly cheaper versions).
You still need short HDMI cables at each end (of course).
