1> Switching the outlet should cost you under $100 after close, the gas line under $350 after close. If you get good deals after close this can probably be as cheap as ~350 for both
2> Central Vac through mattamy sounds like spending much money on stuff you can get for less later. Only reason I would ever consider going mattamy for the cvac is to get the kickplate in the kitchen which is only an option if you buy from them. You can get a great vacuum installed 3rd party after close for much less than $1500 and this is a good area where you can focus on stuff that will cost you more after close (like hardwood stairs, upgrading tiles and cabinets)
3> I regret not selecting this option, but then when they built our house, they installed it at the front of the garage. Perhaps we got lucky. They also moved the sump pump from where it says on the plans to somewhere more logical.
4> See this link. My cabinets are expresso maple TGP760 (Classic)

hi guys,
1) Do we need to get the gas hookup for the 4th appliance (stove) through Mattamy or is that easy to do afterwards? Mattamy charges $509 which includes the hookup plus a 110v additional outlet that is needed for the stove.
2) Anyone doing the central vac throught Mattamy? Not sure if the $1500 is a good price or if we are better off doing on our own later.
3) Hose bib - we never discussed the location of this. I know Dean moved it up to the front of the garage. It it normally further in the garage?
4) Kitchen cabinets - we have decided to upgrade to the Classic line (Maple Espresso) from the included Viking line. However Alex does not think there is much difference between the two lines and b/c of that wants to save the money and stick with what's included. What's everyone's thoughts on this? The included maple cabinet we were looking at is the P71 versus the classic line is TGP760. The thicker border of the classic line is what sold me....if anyone knows the cabinet I am referring to, then feedback would be appreciated.
We also had our exterior app. on the weekend. Took several hours and finally went with SS-5 package, which is a new one, and unfortunately all the houses we went to see did not have the stucco done yet. Cross our fingers that we will like it. The packages that we had initially liked were not made available to us b/c our neighbours brick colour would be the same. So although our home is stone and stucco in front, and the neighbour would be brick in front, hence look completely different, they would not allow it b/c the brick in the back of the house would be the same. Oh well not much we can do there.
So that's the long update from us!
