Lynn and I have been very please with the quality and features of our DR Horton home.  Just the same, there are inevitably potential improvements that new homeowners find after moving in.

      The master bath in this home has separate his and her sink areas.  Both were equipped by the builder with a medicine cabinet and one electrical outlet.

      Both of us settled in and discovered that one outlet was not quite enough for either of us.  Lynn didn't want to have to unplug a nightlight when using a hair dryer and I need extra outlets for my shaver and mustache trimmer.

      To solve the first problem, I set out to add two new outlets.  The builder had placed one outlet underneath each medicine cabinet on the side closest to the back mirror.  My goal was to position the new outlets in a similar position beneath the closer corner of the medicine cabinet.  When completed, both medicine cabinets would have outlets placed in matching positions beneath them (see photos above).

      To the right is a stud stage photograph of the wall that I placed a new outlet for Lynn's sink.  The boxed frame on the right is where the medicine cabinet will be placed.  Beneath it at the right is the electrical outlet that the builder provided.  The wiring at the left of the photo is for light switches.

      The outlet I added would be placed beneath the medicine cabinet on the left side.

      After installing the new electrical outlets, I installed  towel rings.  The towel rings are perfect for hand towels without having the counter as the only place to keep them handy.

I also added a towel ring in the Pool Bath.
