building a house (buying new Constr.)

[Erni]

Also, if you do christmas lights, you can get some outlets prewired under the ewes. My friend has thise and it is slick.

holy crap! That's a lot, and I bet will add up.

-220 in the garage is smart, might do that one for sure.
-I'll ask about Radon
- I'll have to ask about Cat6 and Coax cable also

I already planned on a few in the living room, and a bunch in the kitchen. Maybe I will get an outside plug near front door and back door as well. Thanks all for suggestions, really helps.

While it adds more to the upfront cost. In the long run the headache of labor and fishing wires would have paid off. Whatever you had in your budget, add another $5-10K.

each room on it's own breaker, if not more than one.
more 220 than you think - - 2 for the garage
extra outlets
extra cat 6 runs for security
tall garage if you want to put a car lift in

The "say" it takes about building 3 homes before you sort of know what you want

go funky - get a monolithic dome

If you thinking about an "out building"; add extra service to your place to make sure there is room to grow.

Never ever plant trees or shrubs by the sewer lines.

Big pantry to store food, ammo, etc. extra big return lines for gray water.

safe room for weather events..

extra outlets
extra cat 6 runs for security - is cat6 the same line for internet cat5?
tall garage if you want to put a car lift in - Will eventually build a shop for that.

go funky - get a monolithic dome - We already changed up and did a different outside color than anyone in the sub division.

If you thinking about an "out building"; add extra service to your place to make sure there is room to grow. - Good call

Never ever plant trees or shrubs by the sewer lines. - or sprinkler system

also, would solar or Wind power be worth putting in?

Not unless you're going to live there for the rest of your life. Price a solar panel set up, then compare it to your average utility bill. Based on what we've been looking at it would not start paying back the investment till year 10.
Then decide if you're leasing or buying outright. If you lease and decide to relocate the solar lease, while conveying, causes a few problems when it comes to financing for the buyer.

From personal experience (knowing a solar panel owner) They said when it was just them on the system it broke even. They moved and the new renters have electric vehicles. Their use had put enough strain on the system. It's now losing money. They don't care as they're somonied it's a right off.

Anyone who says they don'tplan on using available electrical service is kidding them self. Once you get settleddown, you'll find a use for it

My house was built by an electrician. I have 3-way switches and extra outlets everywhere. Very convenient.
One cool thing he did was put switched outlets under the eves for Christmas lights. Took me a while to figure out what those switches in the closet were for.

Considerations:
Hot-tub power on the deck
Outlet in the closet or corner where the safe will go - for a humidifier, lights, or other electrical needs
Extra outlets in the bathrooms - your female relations will greatly appreciate it
Outlet(s) in the attic

Meeting with electrical soon. As well as ordering floors and bathroom stuff
