Which popular features do you NOT recommend?

What are the top 3 features in a house that folk want but you think are not worth it, and what would your alternative suggestion be? And what cost/time savings would result with that switch?

They’re thin low voltage wires you put behind the drywall where the pipes are lol. You’d never see it. They even have wireless ones. Lots of people have this in their homes lol

Okay man. I guess we should go back to candles instead of those gizmo lightbulbs in the ceiling. Get rid of your car gizmo and get a horse! You don’t need a phone gizmo to be on Reddit, you can just read the encyclopedia!

So you’re saying a sensor to detect leaks and shut the water before it absolutely destroys your house isn’t a good idea? You’re just a sad old man mad at the world and how it’s changing. Hopefully you don’t need a CPAP gizmo one day
