Main lights. Light and fan above toilet Shower fan LED strip lights Pendant light Bulk head star lights ..... slightly over board. I like lighting. I poured the bench out of concrete. Essentially it's a suspended slab. It's 80mm thick with reo bars. It's supported by the internal brickwork. It's waterproofed in the same manner as all showers. The tiling is also on a slight tilt. It wasn't in our initial drawings. Just made it up. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 437Nov 20, 2016 8:20 am That's alot of switches, but you don't want all lights to be on 1 circuit as it will be too bright in the middle of the night. But 6 is a bit overboard! lol My LED strip lighting switch was a separate circuit that connected to a powerpoint so it could power the a standard mains powered adapter (I used a laptop adapter). However in my new place I want to have the LEDs connected to the main lighting switch. Will speak to the electrician to see what's possible/legal. I found if you have too many switches, you only tend to turn one or two on. I forgot you people in WA do things differently. Great idea for the suspended slab. I have to think of a way to do it with an internal stud wall. I don't want to use a timber lintel for waterproofing reasons yet it would be easiest to install to the timber studwork. Otherwise I will look at structural compressed cement sheeting. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 438Nov 23, 2016 6:37 pm Our Bosch closed loop solar hot water system was finalized today. Until now we have been running off gas. The bosch system uses 3 panels to heat up its 400 litre tank. The solar system is boosted with a seperate gas boiler if required. All in all we have 3 boilers if you include the underfloor heating.

Big system be interesting to see how much you need to use the gas with that Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 440Nov 23, 2016 11:58 pm Just caught up, I love all your choices!
