The extra thermostat is a good idea. With Daikin that Rawson use that could be in the form of a slave controller and/or a standalone thermostat. For the record the single zone controller you will have two thermostats, one in the controller and one in the return air. Only one can be selected and it is not possible to change the active thermostat on the fly. To change, one needs to change the field settings, which is not really convenient or something a user should be doing. (youtube guides online though) With the zone controller the user can select which thermostat to use (provided the (insert swear word) installers enable them), which can be one of 5 sources, return air, master controller, slave controller (if fitted) and 2 add on thermostats (if fitted). But again only 1 can be selected as the active thermostat at any given time. So basically means it is not possible to avoid the issue you mentioned above. If you have the downstairs thermostat as active, it doesn't know or care what temp upstairs is on even if the upstairs zone is on. And give a good example, dual zone controller is the set-up I have. Normally at night we activate only the upstairs zone, set the temp to 16 and choose the upstairs thermostat as the source. However the the other night my wife forgot to change the active thermostat to be the upstairs controller. End result about midnight I woke up so hot because the heater had been constantly running. Downstairs was cold, but upstairs bloody hot. Change active thermostat to upstairs and all good. My point the thermostats don't automatically follow the zones. Crazy isn't it? There are other third party zone controllers that do a far far better job and can allow zones to be controlled individually, but nothing in the Daikin range.

I went on site today and notice the back side and the inner side of the house has the brick 1/3 outside the foundation. Does anyone know if it's common or if this is a default? I am very worried after I seen this today...

Hi Kate, The Building Code of Australia (BCA) states that "exterior masonry must not overhang more than 15mm past the edge of the slab." Where are you building? In NSW, there are industry guidelines concerning building standards and tolerances: NSW Guides Look up the diagrams on page 29, section 3 under Masonry. Anything over 15mm would be against the BCA.

Thank you so much Morning star! I haven't measured it exactly, but by eye sight, the gap is definitely above 2cm. I'm worried that now the roof is 70%completed, what shall I do now? Any recommendations on what I can do? That's great help! Kate Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 298Aug 19, 2017 4:38 pm katekei Thank you so much Morning star!
