        Something to consider though is adding an external basement access with walkin (not walk down) entrance if possible.

        Very useful for getting things like washer and dryers, furnance, water heaters etc into the house without having to carry it all from upstairs.

        Laura is against having that kind of entrance but if we did it right I think it would be beneficial

        Freaking women. . . she just wants to see you die as you fall down the basement stairs moving in the new washer and dryer. . . .

        Who puts there washer and dryer in the basement? That's a terrible place for it.

            Not if the washer floods . . . 🙂

            Although you could put it upstairs in a washroom with a flood pan etc.

            But I don't like hearing the washer / dryer going.

              Most people, but I'm not sure where I will put it yet. Def needs to be accounted for

                    Eh having it on the same level you live on is just way too convenient. Not having to lug our laundry up and down stairs is awesome.

                      Hard wood throughout with tile in the kitchen, entrance, and bathrooms. Carpet is ugly and disgusting.

                        +1 for carpeting being disgusting. I do want to have dogs though. I heard that they have a flooring material that is immune to dogs playing on it, etc.

                            or I could do a really hard wood, like hard maple or bamboo or something (bamboo would probably cost a fortune)

                              They sell prefinished hardwood that can take a beating. None of that laminate shit.

                                bamboo is pretty cheap I think, because of how fast it grows.

                                You could do a wood like tile and put heating under it throughout the house. Which could act as supplemental heat.

                                  Definitely do radiant floor heating. Slightly more expensive but much more efficient in the long run.

                                    Look into closed cell foam insulation. You have to get someone to come in and spray it so it costs 10-20% more. But in new construction I wouldn't do anything else.

                                      So it sounds like floor heating similar to baseboard heating. How would that fit in with a tankless water heater?

                                        Nope not close to baseboard. Tankless hot water is for domestic water. This would be your heating system.
