re: New Residential Construction Must-Haves/Nice to Haves

Things we did right:
Big arse garage, outlets under eaves and both sides of porch connected to switch in foyer for Christmas lights, solid core doors, gas hookups everywhere, cat 5 cable and between stud blocks behind all TVs, Tons of decking in attic, pulley system to get crap out of attic, 12’ Ceilings, bigger outdoor space than you think you want and tons of concrete, big pantry with an outlet for coffee, toaster oven, LVP floors, media closet for surround sound, nvr for cameras, router, printer, etc, separate makeup vanity for all my wife’s stuff so her crap isn’t all over the double sink area, outlets behind toilets for bidet, radiant decking on roof, perforated soffits all the way around house and ridge vents, hot water hose by boat for washing it and ice chest is probably the best “extra” thing we did.

Things we did wrong:
Only did a few solid core doors, wish I would’ve done them on all bathroom, bedroom doors, Mont Blanc quartzite sucks, should’ve done good ole granite, can lights in bedrooms instead of light kits on fans, whole home generator, side entry door next to garage door, subsurface drainage and sprinkler system when building, another ice maker besides the shitty one in the refrigerator combo, heaters in bathrooms (my cheap arse contractor snuck this by me), in winter we have Amazon space heaters in the bathrooms
