Thanks for the response. I have 2 weeks to tell the builder whether I want
gas or electric hook up for the stove. After that and they will charge me
for changing the plans. It looks like I might want dual-fuel so I've told
them to plan for both gas and electric to the stove. Even if I finally
decided on just one, they'll both be there. 8^)
