Best Home Adds and Fixtures

@Ddays youre the only one I can think of that lives in the boonies like me and Eddie’s thread made me think of it. Do you have a doorbell camera? I can’t think of a reason to need one but don’t want to regret not wiring for it now.

Nah, we don't. We have a shitload of windows all around so we see everything coming and going. lol, I asked our builder why we he didn't put a doorbell in and he looked at me like I was retarded.

You can always wire for it just in case you feel the need later. I know my daughter added one to their house.

I should add that in places like our Tin Camp, I have a eufy security camera about a 100 yards away from the front gate. That way it's a bit harder to see from the road but if someone were to walk down to the cabins, I would get alerted and I could light them up and confront them through the speaker on it.

My thoughts lol. We plan to have a big ass gate at the front (hopefully this winter) so nobody is coming up to the door randomly.

Also we have a doorbell even when we don’t want one. She is the perfect height and literally barks at every movement that goes down the road, albeit it’s very little. But the cows are on her radar as well.

As some of you may know I am currently building a house and was curious what some of you have added to your house that is a must have and some things you hate. I just finished framing the inside so now is the time to add as I do electrical and whatnot.

So anything that is a must have in a home that you added or would like to add?

Not sure if I’m too late, but a gas line to the outside of your house to run a grill was a god send.

You’re not too late but I probably won’t. Not a huge gas grill fan. And where I will have my lines running, it’s a long hike to get to the porch. I have debated it time and time again though.

Lol, ours do the same and destroy all of the door glass - it's impossible to keep them clean from the nose marks. And God forbid the UPS guy comes....sounds like a dog pound in here
