@chelcie.b: Drywall is going up soon, which means we’re running out of opportunities to change our minds. lol We’re adding a few things to our new build now that will hopefully make our lives a whole lot easier later. Some are practical, some are a little extra, but that’s the beauty of building your own home. Now tell me… what’s ONE thing you wish you would’ve added before drywall? Because there’s still time for me to add to Art’s to-do list. 😂 #OwnerBuilder #BuildingOurDreamHome #NewConstruction #HomeBuildingTips #CustomHome

I wanted a recessed safe but I know a couple who had one and workers who installed it came back months later at night and and forced them to open the empty safe. They thought it was filled with money. I know that is not the norm but I don’t trust anyone anymore.

The ONLY thing I disagree with (because I have a question) is the calendar. When the calendar dies and needs to be replaced in a few years, what if the new one you want is not the same size? If it’s built into the wall, you’ll be limited on what you can replace it with.

If you plan to age in place in that home and it's going to be your retirement home, REINFORCE THE WALLS behind the tub and shower surrounds as well as outside the surrounds to be able to install grab bars if needed.

One of these wrapped in plastic behind a wall, so someone can stumble across in 40 years.

Take photos of plumbing, electrical etc in every wall you will not regret it!! I put them all in a book in our mechanical room and it’s been a lifesaver multiple times.

Go ahead and make your doors at least your master bedroom door and bathroom door 36in, wheelchair accessible. We did this when we added on our master bedroom. Especially if this will be your forever home.

My friend put a Room-to-room intercom!! You choose a bedroom, kitchen, or other room and speak directly through its speaker, almost like calling that room.

pre wire not only for cameras but for alarm system sensors for all doors and windows, motion lights and flood lights around the outside of the home. master bath body air dryer. it's temp controlled fans in the walls and on the floor blowing you dry instead of a towel.

Run conduit from meter,garage, and other possible places you might need to run wires to the outside to the electrical panel. Pre wire for a generator. Mount power on walls up high for tvs also run cat6 wire to each tv. Under eve power for Xmas lights. Extra plugs in garage. Run wires from the garage to the exterior for sprinkler system so less is run underground.

Here are a few things I have done to our home when we built. Hose bib on every side of the house and back of garage. Electrical outlets on the outside on every side of the house. Electrical outlets in the front eaves, with a switch inside for Christmas lights. Electrical outlet and cable wired into the eaves on the back of the house, for TVs and other things.Also I have had all types of plumbing from black pipe to pvc to copper and now Pex. I believe pex is superior to all of them.
