House building ideas and how to implement for increased Privacy/Security.

Drainage is often done incorrectly in new construction too. Very common to have all the water drop beside the front door and create a pond. Very common to have beds around the house that create little swimming pools. If nothing else the ground will sink around the foundation and have to be filled quite soon.

As of the time I’m writing this comment literally none of the suggestions made actually matter for the ambiguous goal of “general security and privacy” more than building in a neighborhood or community that meets the occupants desires.

Pick a place with people you want to be around who you trust to look out for you.

Hot take, but your local community matters infinitely more than the construction of your house. Build somewhere you have neighbors yoh get along with who will stick their neck out for you.

That being said, you can do the following:

• Plant/build near large trees to cover from satellite/aerial photography

• run conduit throughout so you don't have to rely on wireless networking

• install security cameras that feed somewhere local (I'm assuming nobody who breaks into your house gives enough of a shit to fins and destroy your recordings)

• buy actually good locks, doors, and doorframes. Make sure you're aware of what to expect from these, they wont actually keep someone out, they just make entrance louder and slightly more cumbersome.

• build a secret sex room for you and your spouse. This is less of a privacy asset, and more just a fun thing to do.

I saw a lot of people out of propane in the 2 weeks after Helene. Propane should be a strategic reserve- natural gas should be the primary for generator fuel and heating. Let someone else store it.

when building a private house, the same advice applies as when building a private pc.

avoid windows.

Threat modelling would be good here. You can spend a bunch of money on crap they don't need.

Broadly speaking...

a heavy built-in / fire resistant, safe is a great thing to have.

As much wired internet throughout the house as possible along with a decent firewall solution.

Good old drawbridge
