Thanks for the thoughts. At this time I had not given much thoght to the phone jacks ect but if the bank is crazy enough to make the kind of loan that we will need to build this then I will really have to be ready as the builder plans to complete in 90 days.
I had not thought of the pex in the concrete for heat I will need to do some reading on that and see what kind of system I might be able to get installed.
One of the things I want to do as there will be no basement is have a battery box in the atic storage space and vent it through the roof. I'm thinking of insulating the box to keep the battery temp down in the summer. then the re controls could be placed in the area near the box if it were placed in the south storage area the wire run from the pv panels would be very short and line loss cut down. I currently have to run 75 feet from the pv panles to the battery. Did I fail to tell you that the new house site is much better for pv and wind as it is clear of obstructions trees barns ect.
The inverter could also be placed nearer the batterys which would be a big plus.
I almost hope the bank says no. I bult my last house when I was 22 after that experence I decided that I would never do that again. My husband built his last house at the same time and after we married and compared notes on the experience we agreeded to never build again.
25 years must have soffened the memory some as here we are about to try again.
