Finally, regarding the towel bars... my impression was that these kinds of changes were not allowed... that you got what was in the package and that's it. How did you manage to have these small alterations done during construction... assuming that was the case?
We had additional cable outlets installed after we moved in. They were separate lines, not spliced off another line. The installation was in the attic with new lines running down through the walls. Mom in law also used the same young man to install extra outlets when she moved in. She has just moved to a home in our village and had three more outlets installed. The same young man did the job. She had him disconnect the outlets she was not going to use now or in the future so there wouldn't be a need for an "amplifier"...or whatever is used to boost the signal. We used Donald Hickey, who owns Precision Sound. Did a good job, showed up on time, no mess to clean and no wires showing.
