Thanks, everyone! This house-building process has been interesting. We don't ever plan on moving, so we're trying to think of as much as possible beforehand while it's easy and reasonable to do. This is one thing that I've heard a few people doing, but typically on the outside of the house...

Just out of curiosity, what was the reasoning for putting it so low?

Hot water too? Have a picture?

It was hard for me to find any great results for this question, but I did find someone that had posted the attached. However, I want mine to be closer to the garage door instead of on the back wall. Additionally, we have 2x4 walls, so I'd have to find something that fits inside the wall...

We're in the process of building our house. There is a carport that connects the house to the garage. It's all connected by the same slab and roof. We also have a half bath in the garage (on the back of the garage). I've been toying with the idea of putting a hot/cold water hose spigot on...

Trying to cover all bases is exactly what we're trying to do. We have the opportunity to, within reason, do exactly what we want from scratch. But we also don't plan on doing this again. Nothing will be perfect, but if we can prepare for as many things as we can on the front end, we're trying...

Yea, the air gap was something that I had told the original builder (who was also the architect) and that was just a small change, so we didn't adjust the plans accordingly because he was so busy. He had made note of it in his file for that room, but that was it. He ended up being so busy and...

Well, this post took some turns from what I originally asked, haha. All good. I responded to most everyone directly, but others I would be repeating myself. House is being built. It's on the first floor, no basement. Yes, there's a floor drain and also conduit in the floor to bring in data...

Thanks for the info! I couldn't find a lot of info about interior walls online, mostly just basement walls. I understand that concrete inherently has moisture, so I wanted to confirm. It has 8" walls and a 10" ceiling. We live in a secluded area and have had widespread fires in the past...

Long-story-short, we had to switch builders and so some things are having to be worked through in the middle of our new construction build. We have a poured concrete storm room that is not connected to any exterior walls. It also doesn't have any HVAC, just a dehumidifier. To help in the...

If you're wanting an upstairs, how do you plan on doing that with 12' walls? Might want to price some PEMB (pre-engineered metal buildings) from companies like Mueller and see how much it would be to have a contractor who specializes in that to put them up. Then you can have the other...

Mueller actually does specify it the way I have it installed, but maybe other manufacturers differ. But as readhead stated, it doesn't really matter one way or the other. For reference, you can click here to see: http://www.muellerinc.com/downloads/3dmodels/2424B12.pdf That link is some weird...

This!

Do you have any pictures of it?

It seems so simple, but no one does it! That I can find anyway...
