Things you forget - summary page 32

This is great!! Unfortunately, a bit late for us as a few things on here I too did not put enough thought in to (first build) during the planning stages, and already wish I had included, but at lock up now and too late as most areas are done - mainly the shower Niches and my Kitchen bin. This is something I actually really wanted to insure so I didn't do the old, hang the plastic bags over the door trick (might deter from my new kitchen).... Anyway, I have a bin cupboard but nothing in it, tried to get it adjusted to a slide out bin that I saw on the kithcen companies website, but too late, kitchen's already been manufactured and is going in mid Jan.

Most recent "Doh" moment for me is the power locations in the island - I wish wish wish I had converted one of the top draws to be a fake draw with a pull down front. Inside a bank of powerpoints and then you don't have points on the outside of the waterfall edge (if applicable), or worry about having cords hanging around, which with little ones was a concern for me.

Saw this photo posted on the powerpoint thread and is exactly what I wish I had done.. so easy to do upfront and a great idea! So may not be too late for others to do.



Finally - wish I made my panty door integrated and put up a Poly integrated panel, I am worried having a normal door will detract from the rest of the kitchen.

Oh well.... next house perhaps!
