Idk. I think I'll most likely have a climate controlled shed built for me to use as a carpentry workshop.
I'm lucky enough to also have a full cabinet shop, in addition to the garage. That was worth every penny to build.
Super jealous. I think within a year we will start looking for a builder for our house. It's an exciting time.
Sure sure, until you're ready to kill the builder, your wife, and everyone involved over the so minuet things that "need a decision" and the timeline.
Yeah, so he's right. NOW is the exciting time, not when you're neck-deep in the project and ready to kill everyone. That's specifically not the exciting time.
My father in law has had both of his homes built. Trust me, he's going to be driving the builder nuts. It's going to be funny. I'm sure there will be some stress, but the builders going to be experiencing most of it. Every. Single. Thing. Must. Be. Perfect. to my father in law. It's going to be really rough for the builder.
Suggestion - when the subfloors go down.. go around yourself and put in a million more screws... my floor squeak and that sucks!
A more common practice these says is to glue and nail/screw them down. The glue takes care of the squeaking issue.

This, more screws doesn't necessarily mean more secure. They make some really nice underlayment for this type of thing too. It's a part foam part glue type of thing that comes in sheets.

How does that work over joists?
As for the glue - yeah that too would be nice, but kinda hard to add after the fact. If you have full out custom builders (or doing yourself) fine - I went with a semi custom home - glue was not an option.

semi-custom meaning you partially customized a pre-configured design?

Over joists is the point. Flexible (foam) adhesive. Holds the wood in place and prevents wood-on-wood creaking. The screws/nails become almost temporary fasteners to hold until the glue sets.

Glues are so crazy now that they form a better bond with wood than the wood does to itself. Pretty nuts.
