Looks like all is going great for you. Just wondering if anyone has any experience trying to add a few powerpoints after framing stage? I think going through a variation will cost me too much - I think its $500 just to initiate variation so not worth it. I missed power points in WIR in the master but now think it would have been useful to have one there, and another near the staircase. Thanks! Roniel1517, If they are in upstairs it is not going to be a big issue I think because then it is basically like a single storey house you can wire above the ceiling. Re: Our first home build Sorrento 39 with Carlisle homes 96Aug 05, 2019 8:30 pm darb74 Looking good. Wow, that bathroom (or ensuite?) looks massive! I'm not sure we could even swing a cat around in ours, lol. Kitchen setup also looks nice and big, with heaps of pot drawers. My wife added some extra drawers into our kitchen...always amazes me how stingy builders are with their standard inclusion in terms of these. Looking at your fridge cavity got me thinking about standard heights. I think ours has been built at 1800mm height, which I personally think in this day & age should be closer to 1850 or 1900mm. Curious what your height is? Thanks! darb74, it is our ensuite, other bathroom is bit smaller! Our fridge cavity is 1900 x 1230 x 700 mm. Most of the refrigerators are 18xx or smaller so won't be an issue. And we're finally moving forward! Trenches and plumbing in, should hopefully see a slab any day now. 9 33479 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 38427 Carlisle use to sneak a water resistant "Performance Solution" into their contracts.
