[QUOTE="Fish whisperer, post: 106884, member: 987"] If you're using well water and a waterer softener make sure your spigots on the house are plumbed separately off the pressure tank. I just learned this the hard way. Built less than 2 years ago and seeded my yard a week ago and realized that my spigots were plumbed off the water softener. Soft water is hard on your lawn so I have to use the bypass on the water softener when I'm watering. This also means that we don't have soft water in the house while I run the sprinklers. Definitely a pain but not too surprised...the plumber was a bit of a lazy dumb a**. Have a garage door button by the walk in door into the house and the one that goes outside. utility sink in the garage is something I would also do...I didn't since I wasn't sure how warm I was gonna keep the garage but our mechanical room(in the basement) is next to the garage so it'll be any easy addition at some point. heated garage with floor drain is really nice. we went with 9' x 18' overhead door...a definite must have in my book. Garage is 28' wide and 30' deep with 11' side walls. I used to side houses for a living and I went with vinyl siding. Saw too many houses with faded/peeling steel siding that I was never impressed with it. Just buy better quality vinyl and you should be happy. Plus it's way easier to replace one piece of vinyl than it is on steel. We did laminate on the main floor living room, foyer, kitchen and hallway to bedrooms....wish we would've done carpet in the hallway, noise carries into the bedrooms with the laminate. make sure you watch your overages and credits closely. Our contractor was pretty good but definitely made sure every overage was added on but seemed to "forget" about some of the credits. [/QUOTE]
