Additionally, I usually put all the plumbing in its walls, so I don't have to plumb in exterior cordwood walls. This will make it much easier to repair and modify plumbing over time, which otherwise is a pain in the neck.
Sometimes I think this room will also be a mud room / airlock, used as the primary entrance by the people who live in the house.
I brainstormed a list of things I could put in that space that don't need to be in heated space.
- work sink
- domestic hot water heater
- boiler for radiant floor
- washer & dryer
- table to fold clothes
- recycling bins
- litter box
- server & wiring closet
- shoes & jackets
I also thought of stuff that we currently store inside the house or in the garage that would be better stored in this kind of space.
- spare rugs
- sofa cover
- off-season clothes
- art supplies
- files
- photos in boxes
- food (canned, fermented, dry)
- idle toys
- sewing machine
- spare litter
- soaps, shampoos, and other cleaning products
- broom, mop, bucket
- spare computer parts
- spare light bulbs
- vacuum cleaner
- basic toolset
- toilet paper
- sawdust for composting toilets
- laundry waiting to be washed or folded
- ironing board
