Assembling a pretty good list of ideas from this thread, thx guys.

Goal is 1300 sqft or less on the main floor. Master on the main floor and two kids rooms down (walkout).

A few other things I want to incorporate are:

Carpet in bedrooms only, hard floors in all other rooms.

Metal roof

No horizontal siding anywhere, especially vinyl or aluminum.

Master bath shower to be door-less, will be a walk-around tile set-up.

Some of my favorites from the suggestions so far are:

The small outdoor shower stall off the garage, see lots of advantages to this.

The kick-plate central vac for the hard floors

2x6 wall construction

9' ceilings downstairs

High mount faucets outside

Back-up gen

Door mounted on/off switches for closet/pantry, etc..

Attic fan

There are other too, but just wanted to thank you guys again. My wife has a pretty good sketch-up going.
