Thanks k2....I agree re plugs! Right now it is looking like at least 1 plug on every wall in the house!!
luved - That is good to know re pendant lighting....I thought it might be really complicated. I will ask about them possibly just wiring it and then blocking it off (like they do for ceiling fans) to save money later Regarding the blinds...they are just a standard feature and I'm fine with them....TBH, it's one less thing to worry about when moving in and then I can upgrade later (I want wood plantation shutters). But good to know re price matching!
Double that number for your living room and bedroom. I'm looking at just my TV wall right now and I count 6 electronics (stereo, TV, DVR, DVD, Wii, lamp). Or, think about areas that will have heavy use, and ask them to install some 4 plugs instead of 2 plugs in those areas. You'll have to think of this beforehand, because it requires a different box in the wall to accomodate the 4 plugs.
