Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs

While we are on the topic of upgrades as well, anyone here with a tap in their fridge space? How does it end up looking? Is it recessed in the wall so it does not jut out and end up taking up some of the fridge space hence not really affecting the depth of the designated space?

More electrical info. They offer different packages depending on your area and location so you will need to check what packages you are eligible for. We are getting Opticomm in Clyde North.

Other things to consider:
We are not upgrading any of the handles for the cabinets. We will do that after handover. Ebay is by far cheaper than PD (I'm considering ordering some from the US even with $$$ postage it will be cheaper than the upgrades PD is offering and there are some really really nice ones overseas) - if you go this route, then be sure to measure the handles - or just don't have them fitted and do it all after handover - IKEA sell a template for measuring handle placement.

We are having a power point put inside each of the vanities - handy for chargeable toothbrushes and shavers... gets them off the bench.

I don't have the costs for the electrical items on me atm, but they were the same as others already on here.

Hope it helps!
