Saves future tradesman carrying ladders through the house to get into the roof. The NBN requires a dedicated power point as far as I'm aware. So you will need to have a think where you want the fibre box connected.

I am not sure how long your main toilet is but have them move the door as far forward as they can. It think the minimum they will do is 1.5m but that is pretty tight. Particularly with a 720 door if it's only 1500 it'll be one of those toilets you have to do a bit of a 'dance' in to get in and shut the door. Re: Our first build with Aveling Homes in Landsdale WA 13May 06, 2013 10:35 am will look forward to watching your thread.. everyone has caught up to me and starting to get ahead.. silly slow builders of mine. i think we want to move manhole to garage too.

Good to know a lot of us are moving manhole to the garage. fmac Love the plan!! Have you considered moving your sink? We put it almost to One end to increase uninterrupted bench space That's a good point, I might consider that! Need to think about how I usually use the bench space then decide. fmac There was one other thing. I am not sure how long your main toilet is but have them move the door as far forward as they can.

Particularly with a 720 door if it's only 1500 it'll be one of those toilets you have to do a bit of a 'dance' in to get in and shut the door. The toilet is about 1.6m long, well spotted! We didn't even think of that! I hope we can change that without having to pay variation fee happytaurus I love your plan - another laundry off the kitchen - just love that!! Looking forward to watching your house develops too thanks HT One thing I just realised though, now that we put a door in, we need to move the light switch to the little nook in the kitchen. hmmm....

I'd be jumping up and and down and ask them to give you a good reason! Speaking of progress, on the weekend we drove past Sissinghurst someone has got a tap already!! how's that even possible? Re: Our first build with Aveling Homes in Landsdale WA 17May 06, 2013 11:23 pm Just a minor update. Aveling got back to me re the missing electrical plan and kitchen, bathroom drawings. They said they changed their procedure a little bit, they're not sent with contracts anymore, because we don't need them for finance. She said we will receive them in approximately a week, will then book us in for pre-start. Fair enough. We just have to make sure everything in the contract is correct. Re: Our first build with Aveling Homes in Landsdale WA 18May 06, 2013 11:58 pm The toilet wall hopefully shouldn't be an issue as it is internal. Yeah I spent a lot of time watching people using their kitchen to decide on our layout. Seeing the kitchen and bathrooms pictures is amazing! To get an idea of how it looks Re: Our first build with Aveling Homes in Landsdale WA 19May 07, 2013 9:38 am Posting to follow. Woohoo Janicec's got a thread!! - I gave up on my blog after 2 weeks haha. Plan is great, also love laundry off kitchen, I will miss this in my new home. Also forgot about manhole in garage, so disappointed. Go for it Janicec, it's so annoying to have trades dirty and scratch your floor when they need access to it. Garage is a brilliant location. Can never have enough powerpoints or lighting in the garage, especially when hubby wants to tinker lol. (Light positioned over bonnet of car also a plus as the middle of garage will create shadow). Well done for the elevation too, so nice compared to the original. I'm just a amazed how much house you can fit on the block. It's a great design. Can't wait to see it all happen. Re: Our first build with Aveling Homes in Landsdale WA 20May 08, 2013 12:23 am Thanks SB, will make sure to reposition the lights in garage. Yes we have a site coverage of just over 60%, first thing my friend asked was where are you going to put your clothes line? We are also thinking of getting an instantaneous hot water system, I hope they're not too expensive. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
