In the house we are building we asked to put in wiring to support a
ceiling fan/light combo in some rooms. The builder said it would cost
us $50 per room. Fine but when I went to see the mud rings they have
fastened to joists they looked like any other mud ring in other palces
where we have not asked for a ceiling fan. All boxes do have a tiny
label which says "accepatable for ceiling fan light combo". I still
can't imaging these things fastened with two nails to the side of
joist can support such a heavy object. I guess I expected to see some
kind of heavy duty braces for the money they asked us.

Were these outlets in addition to what was specified on the original plans
or were you asking for already planned outlets to be upgraded?
