My house has a number of details that would never be put in a spec house, because only someone like me would be willing to pay for them. I expect when this house is sold, it will garner a 0% premium for those features.

For example, it has GFCI breakers for all circuits, not just the bathroom ones. For another, it has a stainless steel sill plate (which keeps wood boring insects from coming up through cracks in the foundation).

I did that to every house I ever lived in. It's good practice and as far as I'm concerned it really ought to be code.

Do you also have the habit of installing multiple utp runs into every room ;) ?
