I'd like to build - Ballpark or dreaming?

Nice pic! :) Are you nailing the hooks to the stud for hanging pictures?

Would those stickers be able to take on the weight though?

That's correct. You need to contact your ISP for the phone connection via uni-v port and if you need to port your old number over. There's two uni-v ports.

A dumb switch is cheaper than whatever you are going to pay for extra ports, so never worth it.
