[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 73323, member: 32"] Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted. After living in an "old" house (not by New England standards, but post WWII construction boom) for 8 years and almost done with a full remodel, there's some things I'd like to see/have in the next house. - Geothermal (if climate/terrain can support), or Ultra-high efficiency boiler with in-floor radiant heat and indirect DHW system. Going from an ancient oil-fired boiler to NG with indirect DHW, my energy cost dropped dramatically. - Great air circulation and filtration. - LARGE kitchen with stained/sealed polished concrete floors, a floor drain, and a floor level hot/cold hose bib. - Structurally separate garage. - Connectivity everywhere, and as many "smart home" features as possible. - Wide doorways, high ceilings - As much green construction/energy as possible. - Lots of natural light - If there's a basement, high ceilings as well - at least 8'6".
