Congratulations, man

Make sure you get at least 1 220v plug in the garage, and add some 120v ones as well. Most homes now-a-days only come with 1-2 plugs in the garage.

You gonna go with the textured walls?

My Co-worker still bugs me about having a house warming party...I'm like, "Dude, I bought the house a year ago. The house is warm."

+1 on the extra outlets. -1 on the cost.

We added a couple of outlets to the garage and outside on the back of the house. They get used frequently.

We also added a gas line for a future BBQ hookup.


Resessed can lights were way overpriced but we still got a couple of those. 6 in the living room for $100 ea. OUCH!

After the house was built I got a contractor 6 pack at home depot for $35 and installed them in the garage.

I'm thinking I should throw the housewarming party before they put the flooring in.

Take lots of pictures. It will help later when you are running wire in the walls or need to know how the power was run.

You can also usually find manuals/install sheets for whatever they are putting in.

I have a bunch of scrap from our granite counters that I will eventually use on a built in BBQ so things match a little.

We saved a couple of spare roof and misc tiles too.
