We did change the electrical plan twice. When we were planning the places of the furnitures, we found the power point would be blocked! And we might change the rumpus room to a study room, so the TV point should be move. We had inspected the Simonds display house and the down lights looks good, but I think down lights makes me feeling I am in an office, haha. Gallery consultant said the light points of ground floor could not be changed after they are installed, so we think using the standard light points is good to maintain ( when the old light is stop working and we need to install a new one). Re: Simonds CLEO our first home 11Apr 03, 2015 1:43 pm Last week we walked around and found someone's path blocked by a pipe. Do someone know what is this pipe used for? Re: Simonds CLEO our first home 14Apr 05, 2015 5:47 pm Thanks dran15! And I agree with you, ShanaLK. That pipe is in a dangerous place! However I found the same thing in our site plan... Many people told me it is an overflow-relief-gulley. I'm not sure, but there might be some reason why it should be put here, just in the middle of the frontage? As our site plan shows, the water meter and tap may be in the way of a future path from our porch to footpath. We might have a look on our site next weekend. Re: Simonds CLEO our first home 15Apr 06, 2015 11:26 am @shara what you have marked in your own plan is completely different from the other pics . The one in your plan looks like an outside water tap and meter and most of the time it is a developer guideline . It is closer to your edge of the footpath and it shd not be a problem. I have something similar like that on my plan too. Re: Simonds CLEO our first home 16Apr 19, 2015 12:43 pm Power points are the only issue in our house! We did not take extra time to consider where they should be and its so stressful now lol. We did however put a power point and antenna in the middle of the walls for mounted TVs but didn't put any at the bottom for DVD players etc. So annoying! Luckily my stepdad is an electrician but really wish we spent more time to add a heap more.

Downstairs will be a pain, even for your pa. But he can do it if you need yay! Re: Simonds CLEO our first home 18Apr 22, 2015 7:25 pm Hi Shara, How are things moving at your end?

Here's neighbourhood's pipe and meter & tap. Re: Simonds CLEO our first home 20May 01, 2015 1:45 pm harmelb Hi Shara, How are things moving at your end? Have you received the building permit?
