Steam shower, hmmm. Floor will already be heated.
New house build, need ideas

Good point. I'm taking a lot of pictures during this build.
You’ll thank me later. Doesn’t matter how sore I am after a crazy work day, or workout. It’s all gone after a steam shower.
Buy once, cry once. LOL
Anyways, some roller shades out there are worth the money and some are not. We do sell a ton of roller shades. If you have any questions, let me know. I personally recommend Altex, it's the only roller shade I'll sell because we hardly ever have problems.
Roller shades. I assume those can be automated to open and close with the push of a button?
Yeah button, switch, phone. They can be programmed to open with the sun rising, programmed for anytime really. If this is something you want, I would get quotes now. You could pre-run 24V wire and Cat 5-Cat 6 cable for the shades to do home automation.
I love the idea of automation in my house, however, we live in the middle of 35 heavily forested acres and the wife says we are not putting anything on the windows. Guess I'm out voted.
Just an update on progress. Siding is on and doing the wainscoting.
Next up, plumbing and electrical.
Next up, plumbing and electrical.
When we built 3 years ago, we spray foamed all exterior walls, above the ceiling and under the roof. Cost us about $8k but well worth it. We also did a metal roof which nearly cut our home insurance in half.
Some trails are already in. Range is in the planning stages.
We plan on spray insulation on the ceiling and either bats or bibs in the walls. With spray insulation, we don't have to vent the roof so it saves some money there.
A really loooong driveway and smack the house in the middle of the acreage and have complete privacy. Also, a large pond stocked with fish. A separate car port with a drain and plumbing for washing vehicles.
Right on target. Driveway is about 800' to the house. Funny you mention a pond. We have so much ground water runoff that I told my wife I was going to dig a pond and stock it with fish. I have an exposed berm in the back from the initial excavation. There is a constant stream coming from the runoff of that.
We have 40 acres and just paved our quarter mile long driveway...that hurt lol.
Is it straight? I'd have to put one of these at the start:
Port-A-Tree 3100: National Event Tree Includes: 6-foot Aluminum tree | JEGS
I've toyed with the idea of paving our driveway. What did that cost, if you don't mind me asking?
Here's part of it, it does an S turn once it gets into the woods there out towards the road. Notice the size of the parking pad, that's a 30' X 40' garage just for scale size. They just prepped and paved, the pad was already that big and the deiveway already had a good gravel base. All in at $17K.
Not quite a long enough stretch for a tree, I do have a 5 mph speed limit sign on it though lol.
