We are going with a black/grey and white theme with the bathrooms, from what we have seen in our visits to supreme/direct interiors so will be good to see what you have picked. sounds like we may have similar taste looks forward to seeing your pics. Is the junction boxes something you need to put on the electrical plan or does that get organised at the builders interview? It was a great surprise I drew them on the electrical plan, but then discussed it again at my final builders interview. Alternatively you could get them to install regular batton fix light fittings and change them over later. I decided I wanted to supply my own down lights also and that's why I went with the junction boxes. Do you have a build thread Carmen1828? id love to follow My Build thread --- https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=67313 Final Builders Interview - 18th Nov 13 Site Works - 11th Dec 13 Slab - 16th Dec 13 Frame - 7th Jan 14 Re: Libbys Build - first home with fairmonts 18Dec 27, 2013 5:46 pm Congratulations! what a fabulous surprise, in time for Christmas. Thanks for the photo. Looking forward to your frame. I agree the electrical plan and paint colours are the hardest. How to know exactly where a powerpoint is needed before being able to see the actual walls and surfaces. And the colour ... who knows what it's going to look like. Can only hope it all works out as we've envisioned it. Re: Libbys Build - first home with fairmonts 19Dec 27, 2013 10:31 pm no build thread yet, ive been putting off starting one as we had a bit of a rocky start to this whole adventure with issues with the land we were trying to purchase and then waiting for our house to sell. It is all happening now and starting to feel more real! I need to get my electrical plan back to them but the instructions were a little vague, as i wasnt sure if im only supposed to put the power points, tv points and light positions on there as they are the only symbols they give you to use or if we add all the extra things on there like down lights, ceiling fans , provision for pendant lighting etc. Waiting till they reopen from xmas break to work it out. didnt think it would be so complicated haha.
