      So my counterpoint on this is that in my last house I ran ethernet everywhere but really only needed 3 drops because everything started to use WiFi.

      So when I moved into my current house I ran it to only 2 places where I was certain I wanted hardwired, and put WiFi APs at those drops to give good whole house coverage.

      Both of these are must haves.

      Throw in one of those shower extensions. E.g “Faucet 10-inch Adjustable Extension Shower Arm”

    It’s not that expensive but it’s also not inexpensive but I highly recommend that if you have to replace your hot water heater that you get a hybrid hot water heater, more so if you live in a warmer climate.

    It is a win-win.

    One, it is more efficient at warming your water, saving you money and ultimately paying for itself over time.

    Two, it takes the coldness out of your water and blows it into the air of your home, saving you money on cooling your home.

    Three, it will dehumidify your air, making the sweltering summer months all the more pleasant.

    It will cost you approximately $1,000 more than a standard electric water heater of the same size, but if you live anywhere south of the midpoint of Colorado, it will pay for itself in energy savings in less than half of its lifetime and the savings after that point will pay for its replacement when its time is up.

    Fridge with auto defrost and an oven with pyrolitic cleansing function.

    If you get to replace these I’d shell out a little extra on these qol features.

    Defrosting the fridge and cleaning the over are a chore I get very happy about not having to do anymore.

    A big toilet. I replaced my little ones from the 80’s when I was getting my house ready for sale because my real estate agent told me to. The new ones were so much more comfortable! I wish I had put them in right after moving in rather than right before moving out. Now I have to settle for a little toilet again because my bathroom is small, and it’s not great.
