Lol Charli. It's not a given yet. It may not actually deliver on our (extremely) high expectations. However we are completely over taking our 18month old xtrail back for warranty stuff. |

Hah we did this. Added PowerPoint to ceiling Lol looked really stupid on our plan but was necessary for our A/C  But I see it could be useful for future LED lighting, blinds if you want to go grand  |

| needsausername Thanks Reg!! When you say power points in the ceiling.... what would that be for? Lol I put one above my theatre room ceiling to power the ceiling mounted projector and also put one above the alfresco... I am thinking I should have put one above the living room... This is more for future proofing but with all these gadgets in the market, powerpoints above ceiling will become a standard requirement.... We can't prewire for stuff we don't know but a few powerpoints above ceiling will come handy just like we put additional powerpoints around the home... |

We didn't think of PowerPoints for motorised blinds. Low not high lol hope it still works  |

Low not high lol hope it still works Thanks Emmz.... lucky I pre-wired for motorised blinds... I think you can put a junction box and connect all the wires from windows and run one input from the mains power.... we don't need powerpoints to power individual blinds... (hope it make sense) |

Ahhh yep yep that does make sense Reg. So site meeting done. And I may or may not have spent an extra $2400..... lol An extra circuit for the house. USB power points in the main bedroom, pantry and WIL (which will be our 'charging stations'). Some floodlights to light up the yard, 2 and 3 way switches, dimmers, under top cupboard lighting in the kitchen (yay!) downlights to hall and main living area. Pendants over island. Install our pendant over dining table after we move in and get our dining table placement sorted. Extra power points in laundry and outside. 2 more downlights in the eaves at the front of the house. Phew. I think that's it. Oh and other news, we loved the cx9 but there was a few niggly things that annoyed us so while it's not perfect, I said I'd rather not get it. On the flip side however, our 18mth old x trail has to go back in for warranty AGAIN with electrical gremlins. Gawd. So I'm off to have lunch and start de-cluttering and PACKING!!! Haha far too excited to get out of this place. |

Great Kym! Every time I think about packing; - Is it time or I still got time? - OK Let's do this - Google "Packing boxes" - Um this box looks good and cheap but let me wait for a sale or even cheaper boxes - close web browser and move on LOL!!! |

Latest.... timber cavity's for the sliding doors are onsite, electrical rough ins completed, eave and cladding materials onsite. The trade that will be installing these are working on a house across the road and once they are finished they will be coming over to our place. So hopefully by wednesday next week we should be firing along and be water tight. WOO HOO! Ok so whats next, what would be happening after we get the eaves and cladding done. I was thinking insulation and gyprock but I'm not sure if I'm missing anything?? |

Insulation, gyprock, ceiling, cornice, cutout for electrical, bathroom water proofing, external doors (lockout) and then internal fitout (kitchen, WIR)... this is the order for me up to this point |
