I already had a thread kind of like this but it was roundly ignored. Ya fucks.
2 Da hell. We soaked ours for a WORKDAY and it came back fine and has remained so for 13 years.... Yup disagree so far. I will say though ours is well rated for water resistance.
4 Damn sho
6 told ya
7 and 8 See 4
9 Disagree. No way they get as clean by hand and I will always have something better to do with my time than wash dishes. Cleaning and loading are so much easier.
I got a few for houses....of course.
1 Ceiling fans in every room except the bathrooms. At least 52" with 4 or 5 light kits and LED lights. Yes the garage also. I have two in the garage and love em. Hunter 5 minute install fans really are 5 minute installs.
2 Whole house water filters. First one to catch chunks and the second one to wipe out chlorine, bio-particles, and other micro-yuck. The big 3' ones. Cartridges last about a year plus. They protect everything that gets water - appliances, people, and all the stuff water is used for inside and out.
3 Roof fans. If you have an attic they rock. In the summer they exhaust heat and extend the life of the roof, unload your AC, and decrease upstairs/downstairs temp differential. In winter they will exhaust excess humidity to reduce risk of molds. Note if your garage does not share attic space ya need two.

5 If you are building copper run it everywhere x 2 fuck wireless. Also all electrical wiring should be at LEAST 10AWG or larger.
6 Motion / light sensing lights. Great in those dark areas, cupboards, and stairways. Guests love ya for them.
7 TVs and computers. Keep them out of the bedroom. Utilize alternate forms of entertainment.
8 Cardboard. Use it in sheds and tool closets so that your tools and machinery don't rust. A couple layers on the floors. They suck up spills too.
9 Furnace/AC filters and smoke detector batteries. Use good ones and replace both at least 2x per year. We find that our furnace filters need to be replaced nearly monthly.
10 Whole house surge suppression at the box. They are inexpensive and easily installed. Save you tons of cash over the years.
11 Water heater expansion tanks. Kind of like 11 but for water pressure spikes generated by anything that dispenses water.
12 Guest bed mattress. If you have a guest room it should have a bed you would be willing to sleep on. If not pat yourself on the face really hard. Then fix this. Fast.
13 Did I mention. Latex mattress. By PureBliss. OMG - Life changing event.
