I didn't build my home, it was modular. But I did have some modifications. Here's what I did that I liked and what I would change.
1. My basement walls are 9' 4" high. I had a 12x8 I-beam put in instead of the 6x10 so I only had two posts in the basement instead of having one every 6'. (44' long beam) I finished the basement and I have a drop ceiling 8' high with only 1 6" soffit on one end for the waste water pipe. All the other utilities are above the ceiling and accessible. 2. I used insulated concrete forms for the basement walls. R-40 isulation rating, I don't have to open the vents to the basement, the temp is constant and comfortable year 'round. 3. I should've put quality windows in to start with. The house is only 9 years old and I just replaced them all and the patio door because of draftiness and the seals were failing. 4. I really hate the vinyl siding. It's really noisy on windy days, especially in winter. 5. You can never have a garage that's too big. Mine is 28x26 with 16' high walls,... and full.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
