Happy at Home Re: where should I put my powerpoint? 14Jun 20, 2008 5:17 pm Newbies hehe thanks! nah, no charge just noticed ur signature says ur handover inspection s 25/6? thats like 5 days away!! LOL....yeah i know.....sounds so soon, but there is still stuff to do on site so more like a few weeks away still. House To Be, how come you had to pay then??? It might be worth chasing up?? Re: where should I put my powerpoint? 15Jun 20, 2008 5:35 pm Oh Phoenix, I've had conversation after conversation regarding the GPO on Island.......wonder if Thuy means there was no charge to add the variation cause she is already signed off. We were told any variations we want after last week would incur a charge. I'm still waiting to be told why we have to pay $110 for the conduit......there is one going there for Dishwasher already.
Do you recall how much your island GPO was? You must be getting very excited to know that you are nearly there! Lucky you! Your last lot of photos on your blog look great. I've been wondering how different your wall paint is to Wattyl's Chalk Beige (same as Clath's) so going to go and find some samples this weekend to compare. Happy at Home Re: where should I put my powerpoint? 16Jun 20, 2008 5:35 pm Newbies woooo hoooooo just got a call from my csr, and she checked with the design team, and they can do the power point for us on the side and up high like i want!! she's going to put it at the end of the bench, like yours Nicola, which is cool by me, cos whichever end it is, just as long as its up the top and on the side... I'm getting a building variation raised on Monday for us to sign off on... wooo hooo!!!!!!!!!!! i love my csr great news!!

Toni, the kitchen bench in our house came standard with 2 sets of chrome double power points, one at each end. We elected to remove the one that would be seen from the family/meals area and only have one on the side nearer the fridge. I ddin't want it to stand out too much and i know that it wouldn't really be used at all. I really do think that charging that sort of money is a cop out. Yes there is a conduit but no there doesn't need to be two of them!!!! They will run an extra cable or more than likely feed off the existing powerpoint that will already be included in the island bench for the dishwasher. You know what???? Put them on the spot and ask them to run the power from the existing power point for the dishwasher. Problem solved, no extra conduit required and money saved for you!!!! I'd be arguing for that! Variation or not, that really is a cop out....Extra conduit is utter crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey maybe thats an idea. Ask them to instead feed off that point - problem solved!!!! Good Luck with the colour selections too.

Problem solved, no extra conduit required and money saved for you!!!! Hi Phoenix, thanks for the advice. I've sent an email to our CSC about using the conduit from the dishwasher. I'll see what reply I get to that...... I went through a few H3nl3y Homes yesterday at Mernda, nearly all of them had the GPO on either side of the Island and most of the Island were stone! I had to persevere with my request to have one Will see what happens this week............ Happy at Home Re: where should I put my powerpoint? 19Jun 22, 2008 11:22 pm Good you go get 'em!!!
If i remember on Wed with our inspection, i'll take a pic to show how ours was wired up if you like just to show them that it can be done???

If you remember, that would be great. Thanks. Also, when/if you have time do you think you could possibly measure your front door? I'd like to know what the distance is between the top of the 2nd panel and the bottom of the 3rd? Ta. I've found two places near me that can order the pull handles that I'm after. I'm thinking of going for 500mm ones but would like the handles to sit centered on those two panels (hope that makes sense!) Thanks! Happy at Home 0 12190 I’m loving the potential versatility and practicality of a bench seat in a shower. Anyone had one of these done recently? Not sure if they are straight forward and easy… 0 1165 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16394 |
