Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

Thanks Perth_Euro.
We're not completely sure what we're using the floor GPO for, but will probably use it as an emergency charge for a laptop or a lamp. I envision a console table behind a couch in that general area.

It is a very good idea - Trixee are you having it in a special housing? I imagine it would need something as a tile floor usually gets cleaned with water?

I'd be very interested to see when it is installed as we had been thinking about having one fitted.

love the ensuite .. looks great! .. just what I need right now! .. been painting my fencing/wall today .. got sun burnt and definitely need a bath to relax

Gawd, tell me about it! Now that you've brought it up, here's my whinge.
Apparently someone went around yesterday to dig some holes. Yay.
I sent another email asking for a handover date and got ignored.
Tried to organise a driveway and failed at that too because the guy we want to use is going to Bali today and we couldn't find a time before then.
Oh, and we discovered that they hadn't allowed for venting of induction cooktop in the kitchen cabinetry.
Ho hum.
But the weather's nice this week, so that's something!

Thanks Hootie!

We have the same issue with the reflux valve, it has to be moved. All the drain locations have to be moved, actually. Something about not being able to be accurate enough when slab goes down so this seems to be a common thing.

We looked into the venting thing... dunno. Apparently the installation instructions for the brand we got doesn't mention it, but other brands do. So I'm not sure what will happen at this point. I would be VERY annoyed if our cooktop overheated and got destroyed because of that.

Fingers crossed for you Trixee.
It seems to be a standard thing that once cabinets are in things grind to a halt for a while and then suddenly get going again!

It shouldn't cause any delays Mal, as it doesn't really affect anything except paving. Unless you're having other complicated stuff done outside.

After a call to Siemens, they said that apparently the cooktop doesn't need ventilation. A bit unusual, but whatever. Crisis averted!

Went over to drop off the lights today to find the electrician already there, so we got a little bit excited. Only to find that they were installing the wrong light switches Apparently they hadn't received the email telling them of the change (must have been sent while they were having email issues). Heh. It's funny how these things keep happening, must be such a frustrating industry to work in. At least they'd only just got started, imagine if they had to redo every single one!

Oh dear! Good news about the ventilation and that you managed to avert another mini crisis - yes the email issues are very selective hehe. We're not having any special things outside so hopefully it'll all work out.
