There will not be a mattress in my basement because I'm not a serial killer

Something to consider though is adding an external basement access with walkin (not walk down) entrance if possible.
Very useful for getting things like washer and dryers, furnance, water heaters etc into the house without having to carry it all from upstairs.

Laura is against having that kind of entrance but if we did it right I think it would be beneficial

Freaking women. . . she just wants to see you die as you fall down the basement stairs moving in the new washer and dryer. . . .

If I was building a house, I would make sure it had direct basement access. Even if it was just a solid steel door.
Carrying heavy crap like that through the house, down the stairs, and taking the old one back up and out is so much of a pain in the ass.

Who puts there washer and dryer in the basement? That's a terrible place for it.

Not if the washer floods . . .
Although you could put it upstairs in a washroom with a flood pan etc.
But I don't like hearing the washer / dryer going.

Most people, but I'm not sure where I will put it yet. Def needs to be accounted for
-
Another question is what kind of material for the flooring
-
I would definitely put the washer & dryer in the basement. I would also consider using a conveyer to move laundry between floors.

Eh having it on the same level you live on is just way too convenient. Not having to lug our laundry up and down stairs is awesome.

Hard wood throughout with tile in the kitchen, entrance, and bathrooms. Carpet is ugly and disgusting.

+1 for carpeting being disgusting. I do want to have dogs though. I heard that they have a flooring material that is immune to dogs playing on it, etc.

Put a dumbwaiter in.

or I could do a really hard wood, like hard maple or bamboo or something (bamboo would probably cost a fortune)

They sell prefinished hardwood that can take a beating. None of that laminate shit.

bamboo is pretty cheap I think, because of how fast it grows.
You could do a wood like tile and put heating under it throughout the house. Which could act as supplemental heat.

Definitely do radiant floor heating. Slightly more expensive but much more efficient in the long run.
