Default Not so funny story
Built a new home in Sarasota in 2000, with a great room living area.

Felt it needed a couple of floor plugs.

Did walk-thru of already built model, carefully measured twice, then grabbed the plans and made 2 modifications on the plans:

1) Turned the 2 door slider into a 3 door pocketing slider (had to enlarge the opening in the block)

2) Added the floor outlet onto the plans, carefully measuring from the new wall line!

Only problem was the builder installed the floor outlet in the concrete measured from the original slider wall....only off by @ 3 feet...not much but a world of difference...middle of the walkway!!!

Uggh!!!
