I save my wife the trouble of packing my dirty clothes down to the laundry room... by just doing it myself! 😆
You my friend are the real MVP 😉
The man every woman needs and wants
Plus? It’s free!!!
That's what I was coming to write. I'm baffled by some of these who don't help their wives around the house and I'm baffled by the women who put up with it.
Good boy
I want an elevator. I’m partially disabled and the stairs are my enemy.
I'm just happy with 4 walls and a roof. Some windows and a door.
Yes I agree ,I fix a lot of this sh%# allyear long.
That laundry jet little x little slowly gets weaker . Its junk ,nd electric hand dryers like in commercial bathrooms need maintenance. Most homeowners dont have the time or know how.
Simplicity is always best ,heck you dont even need A/C if you live in your finished basmnt come summer time like we did.
Growing up in Bklyn .ny
Bsmnt was always 55°
@@jamesortolano3983 I just heard a news story about elementary schools in the north east not having air-conditioning. In the past that hasn't been a problem. Now it's getting so hot they have to send kids home in the warmer months. Apparently it's going to cost an absolute fortune to retrofit the school with ac in Baltimore.
@@Greeko_Poloz lol what a fu@#$%g joke. In the 60's nd 70's my brothers nd myself went to public schools. My 3 princess'es sisters went to catholic school .
I never knew what A/c was until we went to the movie house on Saturdays.
After my dad died only then did my mom put 1 a/c window unit in her bed room . Nd still we were not allowed in there.
Ironically for 20 years I installed commercial, industrial, nd residential HVAC-R.
Other than commercial nd industrialization cooling I dont believe its healthy for humans. Ductwork is disastrous.
Nd no one can get it clean. Its vacuumed out a bit nd that passes for O.k.
10 to 15 years tops you need to remove your duct work nd dissemble it to clean nd disinfected. Or get it ok clean nd install ultra violet lights on the returns nd supply's. But this is not worth mentioning to people, most dont understand or hv the money .
What's wrong with just opening windows any more?? These kids today got it rough...
I hear you! But it’s always fun to dream.
I really want a secret room that isn’t easy to find. I would also like to have a slide leading to a pool if I have a second story.
You have to build it just right otherwise you can tell the dimensions are off when you go in the house. if you have extra money in your building a that's right you want to put the secret room.
Hot water line near the garage for washing cars. The hot water takes the mosquitos right off
Don't forget the snow and salt, I need this!
I live in the forest/mountains and need something that easily takes the sap off! Rubbing alcohol works, but is a pain.
@@NevadaSmith2 I was RV'ing from WA to GA. In South Dakota I hit a swarm of mosquito's. The entire of from the the truck was covered. I went to the car wash later that evening and noticed the water was a hot pressure wash. Best car wash I have ever used.
@@stevenjames9487 good call. I gotta try that.
Add a water softener to that specific outlet. And a downslope- graded drain for the garage floor and driveway. No hard water spots when you wash the car! And no salted softened water runoff into the planted areas adjacent to paved areas.
You could literally carry the clothes to the Landry room your self so she wouldn’t have to
I have back problems. I love my laundry shoot.
Fails to miss the "overkill" part of the video.
But what would the wife be doing to contribute 🤨
Dumbest comment on RUclips
@@teddyfresh9605 having a job? Everyone can pick up their own clothes.
2nd floor laundry room.
Toilet closet in master bath.
Vacuum cleaners on every floor.
1st and second floor separate HVAC systems.
Switched outlets in every room for floor lamps.
Outlet under every front window for Christmas candle lights on one switch/timer.
Motion sensor lights at garage interior doors.
Laundry type sink in garage.
Extra exterior perimeter lights for working on outside projects.
Oversized mail box for packages.
Double handrails for all stairs, for added safety.
Circular driveway! So much easier for delivery people and visitors.
A lover of function!
wise
Got the heated bathroom floor! Builder threw it in for us after he heard us chatting about it. Also - after the build got going (we are at the drywall stage now) we keep seeing more upgrades that we were not expecting. This crew is a class act!
Wait for the bill.
@@RondoMondoExtraordinando Thanks! We are confident because we know three owners who previously built with this builder. They had all good info to share. and he has a change order sent for any item that deviates from the total price (like we upgraded the garage door after construction was under way) He even added two extra frost free hose bibs outside (totaling four) because he couldn’t get a water supply in the lower garage exactly where we wanted it. The new spot works even better for us. We met with several builders before starting and we built the house we’re in (40 years ago). But I appreciate your concern.
I can’t even afford to put my heating on this winter 😂
I can’t even afford to pay attention lol
@@Heyitsbruh837what ?
I'd settle for a kitchen, maybe even a living room if I can fit it in the budget
"Oh wow, Windows. I don't think I can afford this place."
@Andreas Holmgren agree, hard to find window assemblies for under 500$ a piece
No stairs for me. Ranch only.
At this rate of housing prices, we'll all be living in cardboard box houses before much longer. Maybe upgrade from old liquor bottle boxes to uhaul boxes if you're "rich".
The laundry chute needs to make a comeback, with the added feature of a lift to carry all the stuff back upstairs
Dumbwaiters!!! Whatever happened to them?
The laundry outlet in the garage is also handy for a dog wash station so you don't have to bend over a tub in the house.
Can washers/dryers work if outside temperature is -30° Celsius ?
Omg!?!? I didn't even know the pressure washer was an option. Well NOW I want that too. LoL
Right! I love it!
Washer and dryer on the same floor as the bedrooms has literally been the best thing ever lol. And gives us a bonus room for extra storage.
If you live where it snows, heated bathrooms floors is one of those things you don't realize is something you should have been had, like having the instapot lol
You can live without them but it's like a life hack when you have them lol
If you live where it snows, where you live is uninhabitable
Walk-in chiller, Commercial kitchen extraction, Wash out bay, Scullery, Live hot water loop.
Hood vents are nice. I have commercial 6 burner range, griddle, char grill and deep fryer. All worth it.
Carrying laundry down isn’t difficult, carrying it upstairs is a pain…. especially enough laundry for a whole family.
Right!!! They should also get a laundry dumbwaiter!
Make each person pick up their clean clothes and take them up themselves! Even the toddler can take a few clothes 😁😁.
@@missbttrsctch in my home, everyone has their own basket and is expected to bring it to their room once a week.
@@rupe53 that's right!
@@missbttrsctch BTW, my wife found "kid size" laundry baskets just for that purpose. They are about 1/3 the size of standard baskets. When the kids finally moved out (20+ years ago) I repurposed them as a "catch-all" between the seats in my cars. I still have them.
Upstairs laundry room. Better than having to carry clothes downstairs.
Laundry room on the bottom floor always. Washing machine failures always involve lots of water on the floor.
I used to have that
@Chunky D good point
@@chunkyd5880 - I still remember this from like 25 years ago. The laundry had been moved from second floor to basement, just under the front door. I was heading to work, about to open the front door when I heard the sound of water spraying in the basement. I go into the basement. Washing machine hose had popped (today’s washing machine hoses are made far better than back then). Turning off the valve to the washing machine was all I needed to do, no cleaning up was needed. Bought a new set of hoses and that was that.
Had this happened on the second floor, where there was no machine pan and no floor drain (one of those should be mandatory for washing machines above a finished ceiling), and if I had not heard the spraying - the damage could have been sizable.
Very good idea in the head… but trust me laundries upstairs are TERRIBLE. A lot of water claims for insurance companies come from that.
Constant recirculating hot water is nice too, instant hot water at the faucet. More piping and a pump. Can also get the spot heaters instead at each water outlet.
It can be done without extra piping by using the cold water supply pipes as the pipes returning lukewarm water to the water heater.
Add a tankless water heater,one for each floor PLUS one just for laundry and a garage tap.
@@MyCleverHandle Yeah I couldn't remember what they're called,tankless. I had a 7600 SQ foot house that had the recirculation but it was built in 1990...
A caterer’s kitchen so the main kitchen isn’t messed up during a party. A wrapping room to wrap gifts. A salon room for the hair stylist and makeup artist. A vertical hydroponic room to grow veggies. Zoned AC/Heat for kitchen and primary suite.
I installed a hot and cold water spigot in the garage, then bought a bluair hot capable pressure washer. It's nice, I can hose down the cars in winter to get the salt off before putting them in the garage.
My normal pressure washer seems to handle hot water just fine
Not sure how long it will but it's been going strong for a few year now
@@John.strong I had a sunjoe that lasted for 3 winters on hot water. It may also depend on what your water heater is set to I keep mine at 130 degrees.
I want an ethernet jack in every single room.
Why ? Dont you have wireless internet
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 eth is alot faster. Like. Alot a lot faster
@@airplanegobrr yes i know i wire my gaming pc to ethernet. But you dont need ethernet for a phone or a HD t.v. doesnt use enough bandwidth for that
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 still- nice to have?
@@airplanegobrr i guess.. i mean im not arguing with you. I agree most houses 90% probly are still on coaxial cable. Comcast still runs that and you can gwt 1 gigabit internet with coaxial cable. Dont need ethernet for that. I had it.
Now i moved to the country and had to deal with wireless 20mbit internet for a year.. thank god they put fiber in this area now im back to 1gbit. But i decided to pay for 500mbit.. i realized 1gbit is just a wast3 of money.
Even downloading big games or what not. For me the cost for 500 vs 1gbit isnt worth it. But wireless is fine for a cellphone.. tabket. Or t.v. i have QHD 4k and i have no buffering using wireless.
Now my ganing pc.. yes i wouldnt run on wireless unless i had too. But gaming itself doesnt need anymore than 100mbit and wireless can easily go to 100mbit.
Hell my 1gbit in my prior house on coaxial i had wireless speeds up to 700mbit using that comcast modem on 5ghz frequency.
Doggy wash station!! My most wanted addition!
I always thought a shoe drying/aerator rack in the laundry room would be cool
How about a heated shoe rack by the front door?
İn europe they have standard heated towel drying racks
The laundry jet sounds great, but I still have to go downstairs to wash and lug them back up when done, so imma need something like they have at the banks where it goes to the teller then back to the car
Or a dumbwaiter to hang clothes in and then take out on the upper floor.
@@bigpjohnson that’s a great idea!!!
I would like some of those fancy patio sliding doors that open up the entire side of the house.
No. 5. I'm just too lazy to carry my dirty clothes to the laundry room. Lose this guy as fast as you can lady!
He said it as a joke
Ahh guys just can't catch a break.. Could literally be supporting your entire house with your arms and some Simp will come along and try to guilt trip for not using ur legs to help ur wife with the cooking..
Ya because he's so lazy all he does is build homes for a living to provide a nice luxury home for his wife... I guess he should just expect her to sit at home and look pretty because it would be so awful to expect her to pull her weight in the marriage. You can't come up with a single reason why she can't do all the laundry while he works 60 hours a week. You're lazy.
Ah stfu she can take that shit
After the first one I was hoping they would all have that “my wife” angle lol “heated floors so my tootsies can stay warm while my wife brings me my clothes”
Why would your feet need to be warm if you're not getting your own clothes?
ln the seventies we had a laundry chute in our bathroom that went directly into our laundry room downstairs. We all loved it as kids!
me too. we would climb in it.
My grandmas house in Nebraska had one of these. It wasn’t big enough to get inside of though.
We had a 12"x12" passive vent in the floor right outside the bathroom floor that we dropped clothes thru that landed in the family room next to the laundry room ... we loved it. I know it sounds weird but it had been put in to help maximize heat flow thru the house from a pellet stove in the basement.
@@danaonlineable 12" x 12" is quite large, I would be worried a toddler or dog would get adventurous with that.
They are great but can be a fire hazzard if it does not have a spring loaded door to prevent drafts ( and therefore flames) from the basement rising quickly right up through the whole house.
Those are not overkill I would love that
I have never lived anywhere with a laundry chute, that's awesome. I also like the extra door for your groceries and the plug-in for an air compressor well done sir
I lived in a house with the laundry in the partially finished basement (a family room next to the laundry 'room' just outside the bathroom and bedrooms in the hall, there was a floor vent that was approx 12"X12." We kept a laundry basket directly under the vent, and when we had something to go in the basket, we lifted the vent cover and dropped it down. When the basket filled up, we did laundry. It worked really well for us
I had a laundry chute in a previous home, and I really miss it. It's also great for immediately getting clothes to the laundry instead of having a clothes hamper in the bedroom or bathroom. Yay laundry chute!
excuse me ... "save my wife from carrying... "
According to recent studies, contrary to popular belief, women can actually carry moderately heavy things..
@@myman8336 and men can carry their own clothes too!
Yes Dana, that's how it works when the husband builds the home and works all day... Imagine thinking you should be provided for while.doing nothing around the house.
I'm surprised you have a wife ... with your attitude
i have the laundry chute or the laundry jet I forgot
Heated floor in bathroom sounds nice 👌!
It's amazing ! Such a treat !
3) Heated floors are great. Frees up wall space and warm feet. What's not to like? My tiled kitchen floor is freezing in the winter!
2) Laundry chute is a great idea. We live in a townhouse on 3 floors and sometimes resort to dropping items in the gap in the staircase from top to bottom.
Adds to the cost of energy why ?
A feature I loved from Japan is having a shower and tub in a single room that is designed for the entire thing to get wet. I would turn the shower room into a sauna and just sit down and soak for an hour. Wasted a hell of a lot of water but whatever suck it.
So you can SAVE YOUR WIFE!?!?! What decade are you from?!?
The current decade. Why exactly are you so upset that he works all day and she takes care of the home. Do you think she's oppressed? 😂
Let me guess, you live in the city?
People who live in the country, people that live on acreage, tend to split up the chores around the property (property, not just the house). Mowing the lawn, felling the trees, building the chicken coop, etc. generally falls on the physically bigger, physically stronger person -- generally the man. The household duties, which tend to take less brute physical strength fall to the physically smaller, physically less strong person in the relationship -- generally the woman.
City apartment dwellers don't have this problem since there is no property to take care of; there are few chores beyond housework and grocery shopping. The physical size and strength of the person that does those is pretty much irrelevant.
Note: the above is based on my observations from having lived in the city and now live in the country. You're mileage may vary.
Floor drains in the kitchen, laundry and baths
Build in spa area with
3 types of sauna: dry, infrared, steam;
3 types of baths: electric (Japan), osen (japan), jacuzzi;
1 cold shower, pool, gym,
Overal
- Energy neutrale or net positieve through solar, wind, and backup gas/wood, air tight build, active/passive ventilation option with medical graded filters, instead of glass mainly use polycarbonate or other types for smart usage (stronger, lichter, uv-protection, privacy/opacity regulated, use as cinema screen), rain catcher, water filtration and desilanation machine (backup drinking water), off grid capability with on grid connection, floor vacuum (build into the sides of room, aejustable walls/space modification based on needs, and much more
❤
😆 I have to show my husband that there are others like me out there! I'm with you on this stuff.
The heated floor in the 🛁 is amazing ! Once you know it you cannot go back to the " standard" one ! Such a treat !
Its common to have heated floors in the entire flat in Germany.
Were still in the dark ages in England and underfloor heating is still a luxury. But my dream is underfloor heating over the whole house (among others)
Overkill, but if you're only building your dream house once, DO IT ALL!
Thisishowwebingham just moved into there custom home on utube.
Its gorgeous.
A laundry chute is a common question I get when custom home building.
We have a laundry chute. We don't even use bins in our bedroom anymore. We just toss the clothes down the shoot each day. I tidy up the bedroom each morning and grab any clothes on the floor then toss them down the chute. It's so convenient. I never want to live without a laundry chute again.
Having the laundry on the level that your dirty clothes are on is always my goal! As a kid we had a chute to a hanging laundry “cage” that my dad made to catch the clothes next to the washer and dryer.
Then you still have to haul them back up...
@@scottapt5291 Yep! My dad made us learn how to do our own laundry so my mom who worked didn’t have to and if we wanted clean clothes it was on us. 16 steps up and down to our basement!!
Wait until your washer breaks and water floods everywhere on the second floor causing immense damage... Or keep it in the basement so if something fails no damage
You set up a laundry room in the walk-in closet and she never has to leave the room.....except to cook dinner of course.
just dont even tell her that that the reason for it 😂
Heated floor and a Costco door are musts.
I do hvac new construction. And this couple made the stairs extra wide. A small portion of it was a slide.
Could save your wife “the trouble of carrying my clothes to the laundry room” by carrying them there yourself. Maybe take hers too while your at it! 😉
As if he’s a baby, right.
Right?!? Welcome to 2022 where men do laundry too!
Why would he do that? Does she build home all day to pay for everything like he does? Amazing how you expect him to do that and do his and his wife's laundry but you're offended at the thought his wife does his laundry.
@@aherteland does the wife work all day to pay for everything? You don't get both.
If I was too lazy to walk to the laundry room with my clothes I would shoot myself.
How is it lazy? He works all day and provides the home. God forbid his wife.has some house tasks to keep her busy.
@@randybobandy9828 I mean whether it's him or his wife.
i want a giant full wall garage door from my actual garage into my kitchen, so moving furniture and groceries in is easy 😂
-Floor and wall heating using capillary mats to drive down suplly water temp as low as possible (30C and lower).
-Solar heat collectors for free hot water in the summer and additional source of warm water for floor/wall heating in sunny winter periods.
- Photovoltaic instalation big enough to compensate yearly consumpion (in the making)
-Heat pomp water/water type to get as high SCOP as 6,7.
-Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system complemented with ground heat exchanger with zeolit leyer for the best air quality.
-Grey water heat recvery.
-Central vacum cleaner system.
-Windows with 5 leyers of glass and foil for the best sound and heat ressistance.
-Automatic external blinds for security and thermal isolation.
The outside hot water= yes, laundry jet=yes heated bathroom floor= FUCK YES! I run the blow dryer lol
Upstairs main laundry room, and a downstairs stacked washing/dryer unit!
I’m not sure I would want a heated bathroom floor. All kinds of germs thrive in warm wet environments.
We get it already, your wife does your laundry, how many more hints do you need to drop 🤣🤣🤣
The heated floors in the bathroom 👏🏼👏🏼
Separate washer, dryer’s, at least one for the house and one in master bedroom closet.
If you want heated floors then you definitely want heated towel racks.
Separate hot water systems if your house is large. My family house has the kitchen, garage, laundry room and game room on one water system, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are on another.
If you have a basement make an outside entrance with double doors. It makes it so much easier to bring in furniture and other large items. The stair well can be the same size just put double doors instead of one, it’s money well spent.
As a life long (so far)custom tile setter and custom carpenter..
I just love the comments!...i like to hear what folks find most important
Whats cool is most of these features have become common in new homes and price is becoming more accessible..
I love anything that makes a home more George Jetson..
2023...and our homes still seem like we live in caves...
Put a oven outlet outside so your house doesn’t get hot
Heated flooring saves money
My dad put a laundry chute in our house way back in the 50’s. I put one in my house in the 80’s. If I could have one in my current house, I would.
I’ve also had H & C running water in the garage. That was handy. One other thing I’d like is central AC.
For families a laundry chute is a must!
Definitely thought about a loading dock instead of a Costco door
I guess you can say I have a laundry shoot, I just chunk the laundry down the stairs. I wash, dry and fold then Hubby takes every thing back up the stairs and puts them away. If I tell him before he leaves for work that I am doing laundry he will bring everything down but I normally forget to tell him so this works for us. I do like the idea of the Costco door. :-)
I think. That’s great! Especially the garage water pressure!!❤😎😎👀❤❤❤
The laundry jet only works for the dirty clothes, Not for hauling a heavy basket of clean clothes back upstairs.
Outdoor Hot & Cold water shower with massive pressure, a six in. 5.9GPM Canadian smuggled shower head coupled with a 6 position hand held shower wand with 12’ lead hose. 1920’s old wooden mirrored medicine cabinet to hold bathing essentials. Slightly graded away from the house at is a hand cut slate stepping stone floor.
Very private back yard. I’m out there every day it’s above 70! Best addition ever.
That laundry outlet in the garage is genius!
Those are all amazing ideas! The Costco door is one im adding to my list. I want a dinning room that seats 18-20ppl and a breakfast room that seats 6 or 8ppl. I want a snack bar in the large-ish kitchen. A commercial fridge and freezer. I want a guest room and a room for my cats that connects to the outside and an office library with a secret door.... will i ever get all these things in a house? No, probably not. I didnt pick a career path that will pay me enough to build my dream home. But i can still dream lol
I didn't know I wanted ALL of these until NOW, thanks! lol
Love the laundry chute, pantry door and heated floor.
You had me at laundry jet
Best thing for me would be one of those vacuum thingies in the kick space under the kitchen sink.
You sweep the floor...open the little hatch and sweep the bits into the vacuum. Beautiful.
Whole house vacuums are also great. Mount the unit in a garage or basement and get a 30 or 40 ft hose and you can reach virtually anywhere.
@@bigpjohnson I had a built-in vac. Its a nuisance. That hose is heavy and unwieldy.
A drain in the middle of the bathroom floor, in case the toilet or sink overflow, a pipe bursts, etc..
A soundproof music studio. 🤩
Flex conduit to every room running back to a patch panel to make upgrading/installing additional low voltage cables or fiber easy.
don't think i've ever seen a costco door before, pretty good idea
I have a bathroom off the garage. Great for when you are doing yard work, or the kids come home dirty. No dirt dragged thru the house
The whole house in wall vacuum system. Sprung for that & loved it!
Having external hot and cold water is a real good idea.
I love these videos! Do more of them!
Costco door & outlet for pressure wash.
I totally need that.
Thanks for the ideas. 💯
What is a Costco door?
The heated bathroom floor is an absolute life saver and is not overkill by any means
Whole house vacuum, hot and cold exterior hose tap, (mixer), dumb waiter, (large), automatic generator, cattle rated electric fence (for intruders), huge downspouts, heated sidewalks and driveway, triple glazed tempered windows, extra wide stairs, and slide out cabinetry, heated towel dryer racks….door closers….and fully damp proofed garage for washing the cars…
we had a laundry Shute that was cool, but the best thing we have is a heated drying line. it's a drying rack for the clothes, and above the rack was a heater, just like the ones you see when you walk into a grocery store. we were able to do twelve lines of laundry and we didn't need to clean out a lint trap. Bet you're going to want one now, don't you?
“Keep my tootsies warm”. 😂
That was cute.
Want all ! I am not a home owner yet but like all features :)
*Regarding the all-white tiled out Bathroom*
Him: Overkill 😵💫
Me: Luxury😍
Well now I want a laundry shoot haha 😂
That laundry jet would make a great cat-ejector.
Skylight above the shower that opens all the way so I can see stars at night.
2nd floor laundry room solves 2 of those problems . Heated floors are terribly inefficient and a maintenance nightmare.
That laundry jet be smellin things no one on this planet should ever have to experience 😅
In my experience laundry chutes can make it harder to sell a home as they're not really wanted. The Costco door wouldn't be up to code. The only thing that makes sense is the water hook up in the garage but a lot of newer builds have a hose spigot in the garage.
Not overkill at all bro! Love them all
As someone who grew up with a laundry chute, it really works.
Laundry shoots have been around in old farmhouses since the 40s.
My grandparents built a home in 1940... had a two story laundry chute, and a milk chute, too!
Got em all except the Costco door and chute. Instead we designed our laundry rooms upstairs, downstairs, and one in the garage for shop towels…next to the urinal
Garage must have extra lighting, a drain and Hot and cold H20 for winter washes. Whole house sound and tv too!
I would want all water to go through one external wall. Make it wide enough to avoid the beams.
Make the inbound pipes come up at one location, with a cutoff valve access box.
So you're not figuring out a house leak vs a main.
Outbound I'd have to work with the plumber, but I'd like to make it smoothly bent as possible. Sinks with grease traps, and a filter drain cover everywhere.
