Does anyone have a good house design that is easy to wire and has rooms for machines. If you do post and mabye a couple screen shots, works save, or even a blueprint if you have it. Mine is difficult to wire now and looks bad. Also what is the best way to move all my stuff from one house to the other. The distance I plan to build the other is like 150 blocks away. The house can also be large it doesn't have to be small. I actually prefer a large house that looks good but easy to put stuff in instead of small efficient house.

Ender chests work really well. Just remember to pump out as fast as in.
For my machines, I place them 1 block away from the wall and just run the wires straight behind them. Half way down the line, in the wall is where my energy storage is. Power generation just outside.
My current house is 13x13 inside. Crafting and storage along 1 wall. EU powered machines along another. MJ powered machines along a 3rd. Staircases on the fourth wall.
I handle the power for the MJ machines the same. Conduit along the backs, storage in the middle of the wall, power generation behind that.

I usually show off my wiring and piping. proudly and in your face so to say. then i place the inputs and outputs in another room or building connected with an underground pipeline.
That way i can go watch the machines do their magic, with items swooshing back and forth between destinations. And when I don't care to look at the machines i just keep out of the machine room.

I ment like a blueprint from paint. Somthing that I can look at while I'm building it. Not in the actual game
Well, I used to live in a 9 by 9 trademarked design by DW20 and it was super easy to sort out every wiring/storage matters. Now I'm planning to work on a well designed house, but I don't want to start my 1.4 world until Rp2 and Xycraft come out.
the DW20 modular 9x9 layout is very handy. each 9x9 is pretty much set up for a special function... BC, IC2, Sorting, TC3, etc etc. watch some of his letsplay on youtube.
I usualy use his methods with a twist. can squeeze 4 9x9's in a chunk and only lose 1 row of blocks, so that becomes my 'front' window wall.

He builds 9x9s in all of his Let's Play series. So just check any of them and watch some earlier videos if you want to see him building them, although he periodically adds more to the buildings.
Basically, each room is a 9x9 square (the walls are 9x9, with 7x7 of space inside the room). Whenever he adds another room, he builds another 9x9 with one block of empty space between it and the previous room, then opens up a 3x3 hole in the connecting walls and turns it into a little short hallway.
It doesn't exactly look pretty, but it's a simple and modular design that's easy to extend and expand.
I've gotten a builder working perfectly fine! It just doesn't tell you what you need.
How does the builder work and how do you give it and make the blue prints. And can you give it blueprints from a different save file.
Yes, you copy the blueprint directory from each save.
To use a blueprint, first you must craft an architects table. Then you have to supply it with a blueprint and highlight the area you want to make a blueprint of with landmarks. Take this blueprint and put it in a builder with a bunch of resources and supply it with buildcraft power.

I usually hide my wiring behind a wall. Say I had a 10 x 30, there would be only 7 blocks available for placing the machines because all the wires would be behind the wall. Power running from upstairs/downstairs through a hole in the floor/ceiling
Care to be more specific? I just tested a builder, and it worked perfect with a blueprint.
