Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 190Mar 15, 2018 10:43 pm Do you have a rail shower? As the outlet is usually offset so that the shower rail gets fixed central Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 192Mar 15, 2018 11:02 pm Makes sense shower rails are lower and offset. Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 193Mar 15, 2018 11:23 pm Choosy/Just A draftee i think i know what you mean by rail shower (thanks to google hahaha) and yes, i do have a rail shower. So that solves that problem. JPmontoya Thanks for that, that makes sense. After talking to family they think that the theatre provisions should be fine as well as i can still centre the tv on the wall, allow room for the cords & it not look messy. Thank you everyone for your input! Really appreciate everyone giving advice to help me understand why things aren't quite done the way you think they would be. In better news the roof frame inspection was done with no issues & all bar a a couple of things were cleared with the brick work. Now for the tin! Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 194Mar 16, 2018 8:27 am I will suggest that add extra conduits now where you have TV getting mounted in the middle of the wall. I missed that during the prestart as well but I got my electrician to come in and run the conduit all the way to the bottom of the wall incase we decide to have an entertainment unit along with speakers Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 195Mar 16, 2018 8:47 am Don't worry, I thought the same thing when I saw mine then realised what was going on glad that is one less thing on your mind haha Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 196Mar 16, 2018 3:24 pm jpmontoya I will suggest that add extra conduits now where you have TV getting mounted in the middle of the wall.

I think I did add an extra conduit in but will revisit my plans once I’m home and confirm what I’ve done. Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 197Mar 16, 2018 3:59 pm Hi Summitlovin, In the picture with the tap, is that a combo box next to the tap ? I had tried to put tap quite close to the combo box and my builder told me, it needs a certain amount of clearance from the combo box - 85 cm or something. Is that true ? Cheers !

I had tried to put tap quite close to the combo box and my builder told me, it needs a certain amount of clearance from the combo box - 85 cm or something. Is that true ? Cheers ! Hey kidu13! It is the combo box next to the tap. I know some builders cut corners but I very highly doubt that they would cut a corner so obvious with water & electricity. One of my colleagues at work said his combo box is on top and his tap is underneath. I think your builder *may* be telling porkies? Or perhaps that’s their procedure to not have the two so close together? I’ll be going to the site tomorrow I’m sure so I’ll measure out the distance between the two if you’re interested? Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 199Mar 16, 2018 10:04 pm Mines right next to it. I believe a meterbox is classified as an approved enclosure and is allowed the reduced clearance Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 200Mar 18, 2018 9:35 pm Went to site today to find my downpipes & gutters have been delivered. I chose surfmist for the downpipes around the back and sides of the house. The front downpipes will be painted to match my render colour. My Gutters are monument. Also found more plumbing & electrical work had been done. Keeping my fingers crossed for roof to be done by the end of the week.
