Is that legal and does it stay swampy all the time? Way less stuff in your septic but never heard of that before.

Cool! I’m in black tar clay and I think it would be a problem except for the summer when the cracks get deep!

Not sure I understand the propane line?

For an outside fireplace/stove/grill.

No utilities where I’m building so it’ll be propane.

Tankless water heater. We have the Richmond 199,000 BTU model. You never run out of hot water.

Our retirement/forever home will have a backup propane generator wired into the house with an automatic switch-over. It will be big enough to run the A/C and fridge/freezers in the dead of summer after a near-by tornado takes out part of the grid.

Something like this:

Where you want mounts to hang, install 1/2-34” plywood behind the Sheetrock. Can hang a mount anywhere instead of looking for a stud.

We put a connection for a tv in our shower, office and back patio and use every one.

Also, double your closet space in the master. We wish we had.

Dont forget to start with a great drainage and a great foundation, correct dirt work, soil, and add piers to the design if it will have weight. Cant believe houses these days built on crappy soil with only a couple inches of sand brought in.

Water shutoff right at your house.

Warm water to your toilet with a built in bidet.
