A number of years ago a guy posted he was going to build a house. He asked for ideas on what should be included. There was a ton of ideas for the perfect house. I spent several hours with Taunton’s “wonderful” search engine to no avail. My son is having his first custom home built this spring and asked me for help. While I have helped build several homes over the years, I am sort of a meat and potatoes guy. Anyone have any search suggestions? TIA

I don't know if this link will work - Firefox works differently than I.E. You could search for "Favorite things"

Thanks, perfect. Great ideas! I will keep looking. I think the one I saw was in 02 or 03.

Ozark, there are lots of new people posting with lots of new ideas. Also, there are lots of new gadgets and technology. I think your request deserves another new thread. I'd be interested in one. Do you want to start a new one or just start listing ideas in here? Bob's next test date: 12/10/07
What ever you suggest Jim. I usually hang at CT. The last time I was here the Woodshed offered lots of entertainment. What happened to it? This question comes up at CT every now and then. Should have something like our T&T where people could be directed to. For all I know you may have an area like that. I think the weed pullers have something similar.

The woodshed is still here but you have to ask for permission to be let in. We don't want to scare away the newbies.

Now I understand. CT needs something like that at times. At least the sides were more balanced politically in the shed. Pretty one sided over there. Thanks.

i took a couple of those ideas,nothing big and they both bring "wow thats cool". first was a double hot/cold outside faucet where you would wash your car and stuff.probably added 50.00 to the house.when your outside on a cool day washing the dog in warm water,you know you did good.
the other one is unbelievable to me on the reaction. i put a couple door switches in that go onoff when you open the door.i'm serious when i say i get as many comments about the pantry door light as anything in the house that cost less than 2500. if i was building spec houses i would put these i n every door possible at 20.00 a switch.
if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
Ah, this must be the thread you're looking for . . .

Thank you so much. I have saved these all in a file for future reference.
