Hi,

Im looking for ideas to include in my house when i build it in the future. What should i add to the floor plans? Or things people have regret DOiING IT, or NOT DOING IT in the building process. The house will be around 2800 sq ft divided between two floors. (800 sq ft 2nd floor, 3 bedrooms upstairs 1 full bath).

Things i have decided so far are:

Concrete block exterior walls ( blocks fill with concrete and rebar)
5 bdrooms, 3.5 baths, 1 office, living/ dining room and family room area
10 ft high ceilings ( too high?, too low?, average?)
Plenty of power outlets all around (including inside of some closets and/or storage areas)
OutletS for tv's ( i dont want cables showing everywhere)
Prewired for sound and video HDMI


Pool will be added later, what should i consider for the pool AND backyard?
Under slab plubming? Electrical? Etc...

Another thing to consider is to run data wiring, along with, or in addition to, sound, phone, TV. Use conduit - easier to make inexpensive changes in the future as the technology changes. What can I say, I'm a tech geek.
