I am starting to plan to build a house. I want to make it easy to repair. The city requires sprinklers.
I was thinking of suspended ceilings to make sprinkler repair easier. Also a few floor drains in case it goes off. Any drawbacks to floor drains? Do I have to pour a little water in them every week or two?
How about having panels in a wall in or near the bathroom. One could open the panel in the wall if there needs to be repair of the pipes. Practical or silly?
Also thinking of a floor drain by the water heater so it's easy to drain it. Otherwise, a typical homeowner may go 20 years without doing it.
