We have decided on the "Twin Waters 330" with a few little changes. Here is one tip that may help cover all the little things you may miss. It's helping us! Sit down with the plan, and go through your routine.... Morning routine - Wake up and switch off your alarm, walk to the bathroom, will it be dark when you get up?, How close is a light switch etc.. Will I be making several trips up and down the stairs just to get ready for work? Making breakfast.. "I walk past the bench to get to the fridge, grab my eggs and have to walk back to the bench to put them down".. etc... Right now I live in a raised house, so basically single living. My routine is to put the kettle on, go have a shower, come back and make eggs and coffee - then go get dresses (I'm not starkers...). I'm building a 2 storey house, so to do that, I'll have to get up, walk downstairs, put the kettle on, walk back upstairs, take a shower, then walk back down to make breakfast, then walk back upstairs to get dressed... I'll have to readjust my routine, or get fit in the process..... Our cooktop will be away from the sink which will be in the BP, so for ease, we are installing a small sink n the bench for meal prep - peeling vegies and rinsing stuff, not for dish washing... One thing I'm not a fan of, is the open ensuite to the bedroom. My partner does all sorts of shifts, so turning lights on at 4am to have a shower will certainly wake me up. Cheers for this thread - its been great - and certainly has caught out a few sales people when I come loaded with questions. When you pull out 12 pages of notes and questions in front of them and stat asking about provisional costs, cost plus contract, driveway passovers and what not.. they start treating you differently.
