I'm going to build another house so I'm looking for advice on what I could put into it in terms of toys or wires or anything else !

So far I've looked at alternative heating/ electricity as in ground source heat pumps and small wind turbines.

Putting speaker cable around the house.

Putting cat 5 cable to all rooms.

Any ideas on what else I could put into the infrastrucure or comments on the above ? :)
 
Underfloor heating. Temperature control per room.

LED lights and light controller - a lot more energy efficient.

loads of plug sockets.
 
most modern houses in sweden have the vacuum system and to be honest its a pain to use, you still have to store the long hose and its annoying vacuuming whilst carrying it around. just stick with a regular vacuum :)
 
A gym?

A media room? DVD player, SFF PC with Media Centre on it.

A reading room, bookshelf, sofa, coffee table etc



How about making a security room? Fitting discreet CCTV in and around your house and having it feed to 3 or 4 monitors. You could also have lasers across windows and doors and doorways. Along with a thermal imaging cameras for in the rooms that are dark at night. A high tech alarm system hooked up to a computer that if it goes off, triggers an audible alarm, locks the room the intruder is in and sends you an SMS if you're out.
 
I'd have a hi-fi room if it were me.

Either that or a home- cinema... Get a CRT projector, a couple of grand's worth of 7.1, a hefty amp, and a 72" screen = instant win :cool:

OP do you have MSN?
 
intercom system between the rooms.

A media centre that is accesible all over the house.

Yep, that's what would be the top of my wish list if I could build myself a house.

Have a big ass white wall and a decent projector :D

One thing I could think of would be a webcam watching the front door, so if someone was to knock on the door you could use a wireless PDA or something to check who what sod is disturbing your movie!
 
Air conditionning

as in proper air conditionning with ducting to external AC units like they have in shops ?

with all this talk about global warming, having A/C in your main bedroom, kitchen and say front room could be a real bonus.
