Going to do house plans this weekend and have ideas of what we want but are always open to new ideas of what other people are doing for their new home. If the OT can send pics so I can have a better idea of what you have. Any advice, ideas and pics are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Got a 3/4 bath in my garage...so far a half bath would have been fine...but time will tell.

Safe room, or at least a reinforced inner room in case of a tornado.

Make half of the fricking bathroom a shower.

Like a wet head in a boat except in a big nice arse room where you turn the water on and the whole fricking room is like a monsoon.

If you ever decide to sell the house, some poor bastards wife will make him pay $50k extra for that.

Hall bathroom at the front of the house with a window facing the street. You'll fell like a boss as you wave at your neighbors while taking a dump.

This question is way too broad. Depends on your lifestyle and what you want.

But we just built, drew plans from scratch. Can definitely attest real stairs to attic--I all but demanded it and glad they found a place for it. It's so convenient.

Add that to the garage with the half bath.






And space for three big TVs.

His and hers closets. That way you don't get stuck with 1/4 of a closet.

Media closet for Sonos, speaker switches, routers, etc

High quality in wall/ceiling speakers

Multiple audio zones

Gas range

Tankless hot water heaters

Make sure gas and power come into your house next to each other (for a whole home generator)

Setup plumbing, gas, power, etc for outdoor kitchen

Get full house remote control/alarm for remote control of alarm, HVAC, cameras, etc
