10.10.2013 Electrical Walkthrough

As I mentioned earlier in my previous post we had our electrical walkthrough booked in with the supervisor this morning. The supervisor was waiting for me when I arrived at 9 am. Traffic was really slow on Camden Valley Way.

I had my electrical plans with me and we both walked every room and everything seems to be in the right spot. Our electrical is pretty much basics with few extra double power power points and few bits and pieces. We will be installing all the Down Lights,Light Fittings, Alarm System through our own electrician after hand over. I have taken heaps of pictures of the wiring before the plaster board gets put on. I have also noticed that MJH provide a platform in the roof for easy walking passage for some doing work in the roof.

I was also surprised to see that insulation had started and according to the supervisor it will be finished today. Plaster board have arrived and will commence tomorrow. How exciting!!!! We can now see the house shaping up from inside too.

Our shower nooks have been installed and for those of you who have a water point for the fridge it is recessed in the wall to save space. This was something I wasn't sure about and didn't even realised until someone mentioned it on one of the forums.

We have cavity sliding door to our media room and they have been installed too. We have gone with the  LIN1 doors for it. Hope it looks good.

We have two pallets of bricks left from brickwork which is up to me to keep or get rid of. Not sure what to do?If I decided to keep it I might have to move it to the back for the house until we move in and use them.

8.10.2013 Electrical Wiring

Its almost been a week since our roof was finished. The electrical and plumbing rough in started last week and is almost finished too. Our site supervisor rang me today to book in an electrical walkthrough before plastering starts. This will be our first official walkthrough which is booked in for Thursday morning.

In the meantime the bricks have been washed and they just look awesome. The bricklayers did an amazing job. Although I am still not happy with the wash though as the mortar is still visible on the bricks. I will be speaking to the supervisor when I meet him on Thursday. But on the positive note the mix and match of the two bricks have really come off well. The two bricks really complement each other. If you see in the pictures below you will notice how silver brick have two shades which really gives the house a warmth feel and the pepper bricks for the pillars gives a great contrast. The Monument colour roof also contrast really well.

The front cladding has also been installed and we are really happy with how it looks. Our eaves have been completed too.

Our neighbour at the back have got the fence up so one less side of fencing to worry about. The next door neighbour were getting their driveway done and I caught up with the concreter and got a quick quote for getting our driveway and alfresco concreted. His quote wasn't too bad .
