Over the years, I have decided if I could have a house built, there are a number of things I would insist on. Naturally, that is not going to happen. When I woke on my 40th birthday, married with 2 kids, 2 car payments and a less than great paycheck, I knew, unless something really big happened, I will likely spend my remaining years in this house. I mean, I have not stumbled across too many oriental lamps. Those I did find, seemed quite normal.
So, such as it is, strange as it is, here is my house wish list.
- good insulation. Don’t like cold. Don’t like heating the great outdoors.
- Lots&lots of electric outlets, especially in kitchen and living room. Don’t like using outlet multipliers such as extension cords.
- All electric outlets would be 3 feet from the floor. Might not look great but don’t like moving furniture to plug or unplug stuff.
- ez access to to plumbing and wiring. Why should we have to tear things up to replace a Fawcett?
- Should be at least 2 USB outlets in each room. Why is it no one thought of that?
- I know I’m asking too much, but what about a garage that doesn’t get ridiculous cold or hot. That way, when I pull out of my driveway, I am already comfy. If not that, then a hose that warms or cools car.
- A safe, for valuables and guns. It wouldn’t need to be big. I don’t have much of either.
- I don’t want trees anywhere near the house. The leaves and or needles collect on the roof. Also, I might want solar batteries later.
I suppose that’s more than enough, you can send me your bill. Just don’t expect a payment.
