My husband and I got together later in life. We both had been married before and had our own homes. We decided it wasn’t fair to ask the other to give up their home. It was smarter to both move into a new place together. We couldn’t agree on a house though. So it made sense to sell our places and use that money to build the one we wanted. It was really nice deciding on the perfect home. I got to design my dream kitchen and not have to give up any square footage. My husband got a giant garage to house his cars and all his tools. We also sprung for a giant bathroom, outlets in our living room floor and a wood ceiling. One thing I pushed heavily was hydronic heating. I wanted a boiler system in the basement that had piping connected to it. I wanted the piping pushed throughout the floors. The boiler heats hot water that flows through the pipes to create a heating effect. It isn’t air based so nothing rises to the ceiling and gets wasted. It also doesn’t create a noise or hot and cold spots either. Hydronic heating is silent, efficient and warms anything that touches it. A boiler lasts a very long time too. It can last 50-80 years as long as replacement parts are still being made. I think the hydronic heater might be my favorite part of our new house. It makes the place feel classy and not having an indoor air handler is really nice. We didn’t lose any square footage to an ugly HVAC unit.
