-Run a hot water line to the carport for washing pots etc from fish frying or crawfish boils.
-Don't skimp on faucets, toilets etc. There are cheap alternatives that look good but they won't last and you will be working on or repairing them constantly.
-lots of outlets, more than you think you will ever need. Otherwise there will never be one where you need it. Cable/outlets placed for wall mounted TV's.
-make sure your vent hood above the stove actually vents out of the house and not just the kind that circulates through a filter.
-Custom cabinets. Will cost more than the pre-fab ones but they will hold up and look better.
- My father in law works for Coburns so, he is being picky on the plumbing fixtures my wife pics out!!
-Will be sure to check on the vent hood
- We went custom with knotty alder on the cabinets.
Thank you for the input!

run speaker wire in the attic to spots that may be of future use. use tech shield roof sheathing.

The vent hood thing may not be a big deal to most, just seems to keep the house from smelling up as bad when cooking.
