Or , it is ok to use different color (ceiling vs wall) - which might give some contrast ? Any suggestions ?

Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 103Dec 09, 2020 4:19 pm Been told only a week or so worth of job to be done but to my eyes I feel there are quite a bit of small bits and pieces that needs to be completed. Looking at middle of jan for final inspection. Don’t want to rush them and end up job being not up to mark. Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 104Dec 09, 2020 6:52 pm Looks amazing!! We will have the same shadow cladding. Are you having cameras on the shadow cladding? We can't decide, it just looks so good.. Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 105Dec 09, 2020 7:26 pm build2020 Looks amazing!! We will have the same shadow cladding. Are you having cameras on the shadow cladding? We can't decide, it just looks so good.. Yes, will have one near the garage in black to blend in with the shadowclad and the rest will be in white. Hope you have provisioned cables for them or are you getting TA to install these? Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 106Dec 09, 2020 8:18 pm BigDaddy build2020 Looks amazing!!

That's what we have done. We have just allowed for provisions. We'll do it post handover I think.

Hope you have provisioned cables for them or are you getting TA to install these? no one is considering security products from eufy or arlo or nest etc? no need for wiring and can be integrated to other products for a broader smart home solution. Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 109Dec 10, 2020 3:22 pm Nest needs a power cable and the others are battery operated. Rather get data cable and get a good system like Hikvision or Dahua. I agree the integration with google home and others would be good. Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 113Dec 12, 2020 2:01 am We are using Peter Stiff, outdoor focus who TA recommended to us. He has been great so far. We haven't started building yet but we've had a few issues with Melbourne water and a neighbour who is worried about a tree and he has been really helpful. The pool company have also been beyond helpful and proactive for the same issues above. We are using Momentum pools, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We aren't in the country at the moment so its been invaluable having someone to count on for all these little issues that has cropped up!

We got our draft design from him and now in the process of looking for a landscaper to execute the design with some changes.

A friend is currently using Modern Living Landscapes to execute on a design Peter did for their recent TA build. They're very happy with them. Have you been happy with Peter and his design?
