There's a little bit of cart-and-horse here, but I'm starting to contemplate home plans. I personally would rather buy a lot and build, since I can't imagine we'll find something that's got everything we need.

Looking at pre-existing floor plans, I just don't get the fascination with and love of these horrid segmented roofs. They are more expensive to build, maintain, and repair. They are more prone to failure and leaks. What's wrong with a big boxy house with a big boxy roof and a big boxy floor plan? I know, I know, they're 'pretty' but they're a nightmare.

Of course, first Brian has to get a job, since we can't afford much on my income. (We could certainly afford -something- but I don't want to buy a house I'm going to be moving out of as soon as Brian gets a job.)

( Some other thoughts... )

So if you were going to build a home, what little geeky conveniences would be important to you?
