We bought our Wyndham CYV last January so we bought as-built. Our family room is oversized (stretched) and it is huge! We didn't even think about outlets needed for table lamps; wouldn't have mattered since the CYVs are pre-built. Anyway, we are seriously considering contacting an electrician, after we move there permanently, to find out whether an outlet can be put in the floor. It will probably be very expensive, but worth it because having an extension cord running about 12 feet from under the sofa to the wall is a safety hazard. The room is too big, really, to have the entertainment center on one wall and the sofa on the opposite wall unless we buy a 70-inch TV...not happening. There should probably be some kind of building code that requires floor outlets in rooms exceeding X number of square feet.... Since there apparently isn't one, we'll make do with what we have and be very happy to be living in The Villages, early next year, we hope.
