Just about every new home project I have seen around Atlanta features that one light fixture positioned in a foyer, hallway, vaulted living room or even on the outside of the house that is 20 feet from the floor. And one day, you will have to replace those light bulbs.

<P>Many home builders only put a set number of phone outlets in your house and then charge an additional amount to add extra lines. This should probably help you out in determining how many you need and where to place them.</P>

Low to middle range homes will typically provide you with several levels of lighting packages to choose from. In each case, you get the bad with the good within each lighting package.

Not to miss out on a few bucks, home builders have caught wind of this and started offering pre-wired options for new homes but at a rather hefty price tag.
