Hi HjK1,
We have our design appointment in a few weeks. Since we have the same model,
I was wondering if there is anything the you upgraded or changed that wasn't it in the book that I should ask for?
Just trying to cover all of our bases and not miss anything.
Thanks!
I have a different model, but someone posted in the forums the following add-ons, which I found helpful:
*relocate existing hose bib to front of garage
* Add an extra hose bib near the front of your home, this enables watering the front gardens with ease also gives you and extra bib to set up a sprinkler system.
* Delete front door light and install a pot light, gives an even overall light and makes it easy to add more pot lights to front porch after close.
* Install extra light box over soaker tub, in master en suit, this is to hang small chandelier. Add an extra switch so you can dim it.
*Add lights in coat closets
*Delete bulk heads
*Delete 3" lip on regular counter top, this allows you to install back splash flush with counter top.
*Extra lighting Mattamy never puts enough lights.
*Do gas line for BBQ after close, this enables you to chose the location. Sometimes the builder puts it in awkward places for patio's.
*Two extra outside light on back of house
*Add wall outlet that will turn lamps on beside lamps and another switch to turn the lamps off above nite stands.
*Add wall outlets where your family room lamps would be with additional switch to turn on lamps. This allows lamps to be turned on when entering/exiting the room
* be sure the chandelier socket is re-enforced if you are planing to install a heavy one.
These are also very good additional tips! Much appreciated.
