My wife and I are going to be moving to our hometown in the next 18 months. We have our choice of lots on some property a little ways out of town. Once we pick it out, we'll get it surveyed, deeded, and then we'll be ready to go.
My brother in law is a contractor, and will be building it for us. It'll (hopefully) be the home I die in, so I want to get it right the first time. I have several things that I'd really like to do:
- master bedroom/kitchen/office/ultility room all on main floor
- in ground heating, maybe solar if feasable
- a basketball court (maybe underground)
Any suggestions on where to start, what to avoid, things you wished you knew before you built?
