A lot of people, including myself on the First 2 playthroughs, don't know that there is a sleeping bag set up next to where Uncle sleeps where John can sleep (before building the house) and if I remember correctly there is a table set up with the Fast Travel Map.
The one stupid thing about the house is the room where you change. At first you will see a shaving set up - but you can't use it...Yet.
However, A bit later you WILL be able to shave...but not in that exact spot. The spot that you will be able to shave at Is kitty-cornered from where the shaving kit is set up. But the really STUPID thing is that there is a beautiful copper tub in that room...but YOU CAN'T TAKE A BATH IN THE TUB IN YOUR OWN HOME. You still have to go to a Hotel for a bath.
