Lastly how would i expose the vapor barrier, once I get the wires to there points i would seal the holes with insulation.

I'm not sure that the concrete floor or the furnace will interfere with your signal strength.
The vapor barrier would need to be properly repaired with tuck tape, not just insulation. and the holes through the top plate re-caulked. I'm not saying it cannot be done, just personally I wouldn't bother. It's too much trouble to properly seal around the cables you're passing through and your installing a receptacle in the attic that should it fail, is a PITA to get to. Try being up there in the summer for longer than 5 min.
Also, there is a limit to the number of outlets downstream from the GFI. You may be maxed out already. I don't know what the code is. check with an electrician.
You said you're not moved in yet? Is the house drywalled yet?
