Episode notes
How The 'Tech House' Project Will Work
- Linus plans to buy a non-local “tech house” to renovate and film serialized content instead of using personal residence.
- He wants a mid-size house with a basement, lasting upgrades, and resale value aligned with market rules.
Build Wiring And Accessory First
- Plan infrastructure like ethernet and Wi‑Fi mapping before cosmetic renos to avoid rework and enable videos about coverage.
- Bake in accessible IO, power buttons, and labeled plates so future owners can use the tech easily.
Keep Tech Practical, Not Gimmicky
- Decide how much non-tech content (floors, cabinets) you want viewers to see and treat the audience's appetite as a spectrum.
- Add sensors/triggers (like door sensors) before complex humidity control in cabinets to keep automation simple.
