I was thinking about this today.... If a double door fridge is completely recessed...... what happens to the doors when you open the fridge????? Do the doors smack the edges of the wall because it is recessed back so far????? 800mm allows all of the fridge to be recessed and if the door is the only thing jutting out..... than I think that would be a good thing wouldn't it!!????........ ps who knows what sort of fridge I will actually end up buying down the track..... WHO KNOWS!!!!!! ~ okjorg viewtopic.php?f=31&t=55196&p=844089#p844089 Settlement date - 13 Jan Final plans - 24 Sept Council approval - 21 Oct First peg in the ground - 7 Nov Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 776Apr 26, 2012 8:49 pm Dont' forget to get the plumber to put plumbing behind the fridge even if you don't currently have an ice/water fridge. The cabinetmakers actually recommend a 1m opening to allow good ventilation around your fridge also. We also got a tv/powerpoint in our bedroom even though we won't use one.. if we ever sell, that option is there in the room. Best to have all that done now before walls are completed... Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 777Apr 26, 2012 8:52 pm 1 METRE!!!!! Can you believe that!!! That is a big space!!!! I will go and investigate fridges again tonight I think.......... I have an idea how everything will look in my head...... but will it actually end up looking like that....???? ~ okjorg viewtopic.php?f=31&t=55196&p=844089#p844089 Settlement date - 13 Jan Final plans - 24 Sept Council approval - 21 Oct First peg in the ground - 7 Nov Re: Queenslanders building our first house!!!! 778Apr 26, 2012 9:02 pm Thanks okjorg. . . will work with 800. I think if the fridge isn't as deep as your hole, just set if forward a bit. . . I don't think it will move back, and if it does, you can just put a bit of timber in between the back and the skirting board. .. Gawd. . . I am FULL of good ideas! Hey Leece, there's a wonderful thread on things you may have forgotten when building. . . somewhere. It includes plumbing water behind the fridge, and extra power points. .. there's stuff there that you'd never dream of. .. okjorg will lead you to it if you ask her nicely. Power points in the eaves at the front for Xmas lights, power and a light in the roof for if you have to do any work up there or want to store stuff . . . sounds like you've thought of a lot of it already though .. . good work!
