Home features you wish you would have...
I am planning to start building on a 1 acre lot next year and currently working on the plans. I would like to learn from your ideas or experiences to make sure I am not overlooking anything. List anything you would like to add or change to your current or future home.

I wish I had a fish and game cleaning table with sink and water hooked up to it, also my friend built his garage for his boat and he has shelves, cabinets, and rod racks that is on the wall next to his boat that are high enough so that he can access all of it from inside the boat and not have to get in and out the boat while loading or unloading.

Panic type room, that is tornado proof. Zombie proof wouldn't hurt either!! Built in gun safe. Utiliy room with full bathroom. So you don't have to track mud through the house after hunting trips.

When I build I will definately have a built in, concealed, fire proof storage area for guns, paperwork, jewelry, and stuff like that. I will have a nice shop with outdoor kitchen/ bathroom.

Make it ready for an upstairs even if you only make a single story house. I built my last house and didn't do it ready for upstairs but when I saw all the room I had I wished I had so this house I am building will have option of adding another 2000 sqft up stairs.

A BIG Utility room, at least 12x14, big enough for washer, dryer, extra freezer, Ironing table, tv, extra refrigerator, a big sink, folding table for clothes, a bar to hang the clothes that you just ironed, room for a folding table and chairs that you will use when you have bar be ques and crawfish boils along with the a few chairs, a rod-n-reel rack to keep them in climate control, and a shelf to put blender, mixer, juicer, larger pots.

Also, I been in a house that had nice wicker swing like people have on there porch in the living room. I thought that was the coolest thing. The homeowners said they liked it as well, so my next house will have a swing in the living room and a big utility room.
You may want to also consider a Florida room if you have small kids, its basically a playroom/party room in the back of the house that seals off from the rest of your house. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...om&FORM=HDRSC2 |

Don't underestimate the need for storage...also a central vaccume system is cheap, and easy to install...will last a lifetime and will make the little lady happy enough to let you take on those rodholders and gun storage projects!

My mom has a 1,800 sq ft house with 2 big water heaters with a spicket on the outside of the house. We fill the boiling pots with hot water and it boils much quicker. Also nice to clean up with. One thing you have to do is make 2 hoses that splice into one so you don't burn yourslef when you washing pots and what not. Also I don't know what you plan on doing i your kitchen and whether or not you have natural gas available but we have duel fuel range. Which is a gas stove combined with an electric oven. Best of both worlds to me. Also if you cook outside and plan on having natural gas have the plumber install a 3/4" valve where you plan to cook so you don't have to get propane. I also have this, takes a little longer to get the water boiling but its worth it. You just need a different burner. |

One of the favorite things about my patio... I have a natural gas double burner out there that I use 90% of the time over my kitchen stove.

Outdoor Kitchen, More Storage, and look at the on demand hot water system, or tankless hot water heater, gas only not electric, its the best thing I did, and then there is more storage, and did I mention more storage.
