What a challenge rose! But an enjoyable one!
Thinking outside the box, what about something like rooms with separate "sleep pods?"
By that I mean a room that is barely…

Hey Daedalus,
Hopefully this response isn't too late but have you considered putting Bed2's robe on the wall adjoining the laundry? It would mean the door doesn't open directly into…

I just skimmed through this thread and am surprised no-one has mentioned modwood? http://www.modwood.com.au

We get "accused" of building a big house frequently, it will be 390 square meters (~40 squares) but really:
* 2 adults
* 3 kids (little now, but will end up being…

OK here's the whole thing. I'm very happy that the forum now auto-resized large images - I had to manually resize every pic before, this should make things a…

Great news! The official Sonos store on Amazon (ie. not a reseller) is now shipping to Australia again (it didn't last time I tried it) and to boot the…

I should also mention that the "pregnant wife" in the previous set of pics is now un-pregnant and we are proud parents of a 1 month old baby girl :)…

Wow, nice to see someone else posting in this thread :)

We have…

Just on this - if you have a GPS (or a phone with it, eg. iPhone) - then check out OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org). It is created…

It sounds like he has it under control :)
Yes, cat5e/6/6a cables to office, each bedroom and AV locations is the main thing. A lot more devices will be using…

CC101, were you responding specifically to my post (just above yours)? I was replying to pugs, who works in the industry and knows his stuff, so I guess I…
