Browse Forums Building A New House Oh My! 9Mar 25, 2008 11:12 pm Ok, I did miss quite a bit! Those are all excellent points. I am making a list now. I thought about the water tap in the fridge space and then I totally forgot about it. We are planning on upgrading our fridge and I forgot about the tap thing.
I have to have powerpoints in the hallway for vacuuming. How can we be expected to remember all of these things and worry about the big stuff like how we will pay the mortgage, lol. Thanks everyone, I just love this forum! Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 11Mar 27, 2008 8:53 pm check your site for the closest gas point, telephone point (if using Telstra in Sydney), and water point. Builder will use the "closest" path to connect to those things, which in some cases might not be what you want/expected. So make sure you clarify that with your builder. Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 12Mar 29, 2008 6:57 pm I did not forget this, but was reluctant to have it included.
INSULATE YOUR HOT WATER PIPE!! My builder said that it is only the one that run through the ceiling that will be insulated. i should have asked him to include those in the wall. You dont ask, you wont get. this is my lesson. Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 13Mar 29, 2008 10:55 pm We added extra heating ducts to our ensuite and bathroom.
We have it in the unit that we're currently renting and love it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 16May 03, 2008 11:43 am Hi there all,
I must say, we can add realms of points, but taking into consideration the following points: - your brand new home, - you paying the mortgage, - getting through the first winter, -etc, etc, etc, A MUST for all new homes is a Heater Point in the Bathroom!! You'll thank me for it once you move in! Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 17May 03, 2008 5:30 pm Quote: INSULATE YOUR HOT WATER PIPE!! Don't the pipes themselves have some insulation?

We didn't forget this.. because we like having it in our rental unit now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! cold water point at fridge space 19May 03, 2008 8:04 pm remember to ask to builder to widen the width of fridge space to >=1000mm as most of the Korean ( Sam*ung, LC...) side by side fridge are ~900mm wide
a post somewhere in this forum talked about what upgrade you have gave me a lot of upgrade idea , search and read it. Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 20May 09, 2008 2:52 pm Fly screens and window locks.
Does the kitchen include a built in microwave spot? Some power points on internal back walls. (so it ,makes it easier to put external sensor lights in) Do any doors come with security locks, included??
