Wow Rose - your place is looking stunning! Love those WIRs!

Looks like the end of handovers for those of us who started builds in October 2014. We are also about a week or two out! So excited! For those of you who paid for hills hub box, can you please post it's pic (inside & outside) so I can compare ours. Bit worried that they didn't do ours properly

Light487-I ended up with the sapphire whitley, but all the other fittings r felix. Still looks good and may change shower head at a later date.
Cladding colour is surfmist.

Leese render and painting was about $4000 odd for it. Cladding im not sure as was included in facade.

Leese, we were told cladding and brick would be the same price. We were considering doing cladding up top on the madison 37 for the look but for the same price decided on keeping the brick.

For those of you who paid for hills hub box, can you please post it's pic (inside & outside) so I can compare ours. Bit worried that they didn't do ours properly

Hills Home Hub 600. Ours is surface mount because the electrical meter box is pretty much right behind it so they could not make it flush.
I has asked Duane from Zurcorp to move the Hub furthur up the garage, but he obviously didn't do it.

They left it like this inside: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅

What facade are you getting? ?

leese · Jul 05, 2015 2:48 pm

Ahhh kitchen design is doing my head in! Does anyone know if they do cupboards and drawers in all sizes. I can fit 75cm or 50cm overhead cupboards in my 'grand design'. But will they do that???

They could of done a lot better I would of thought. I'm not even at the building stage yet, but I'm sure as hell not going to have anything outside of the box at all in fact, I don't think that box is big enough in general. Power points need to be inside the box.

leese - On page 457 I posted th frontage pic.
At the time our facade was $6300. Additonal $4400 for render on both n shape and front pillar.
Additional $360 for different paint colour on front pillar. So all up $11060.
Mind you we could have had it done much cheaper after handover, our current house has a large rendered front wall and cost $1500 and then we painted ourselves and from memory $4500 to render whole house.
Cladding was included in facade.

Wow. Was there a wiring guide? I'm fairly tech savvy.. but that looks complex. How did you know what to buy and what to plug in where?

Edit: actually, looking closer it seems fairly straightforward. That red cable on the left going into the NBN modem, I assume it is the one coming through the wall? If not, where does it come from?

If we only have 8 data points in the house, can I assume that I only need an 8 port Gigabit switch?

leese · Jul 06, 2015 7:47 am

Why do you need data points?? Can't you just use wi-fi???
