Hardie deck is doing great. No maintenance to date, it has expanded and contracted a bit, so small gaps between boards but that is easily rectified by hammering together if…

Have a look on NBN.com.au, better description than I can provide!

Great minds, same set up here. 4cabling rack and HikVision 1080p cameras (8)

Really enjoyed putting it all together. Terminated all CAT6 cables to patch panel.
Managed Netgear switch, NVR for…

No I did that myself. I took lots of photos before the gyprock went up on the ceiling (below) and so I knew exactly where the joists were and managed…

Doulton,
$1300 for the screen and another $300 for the recess kit.
From Tammex.com.au who are distributors for Elite Screens.
With Screens remember it won’t fill the whole screen, movies are shot in…

Here it is with the projector screen down, a couple centimetres in front of the TV. Screen is 135 inch Elite Screens VMax2 motorised screen and is recessed into the…

Thanks all.
Cabinetry was done by a guy we know that does it on the side, normally works for a kitchen fitting company. It’s Laminex Absolut Matt Black, which is a…

Our media room is finally finished, pretty happy with the end result. Expensive audio visual equipment but the overall experience is better than a cinema so we are very pleased.

Jmet,
1.from my contract paperwork;

Relevant symbols circled in red....

2. I think the NBN provision is a conduit with a drawstring, data points and a dedicated power outlet. Once you have NBN…

I’d do this. Red lines are likely where the studs are. I’d move the two PowerPoints in so they’re more central and possibly move the high datapoint further down, as…

Yes swing frame. If I were you I’d move those points around. Really easy to do, all you need is a drywall saw ($10) and of course be able to…

Hi Q,
Just searched my thousands of pics for these, hopefully they show you what I did. I bought my cabinet, 19 MU high from 4cabling.com.au who build good quality data…

Here’s my electrical plan. All NBN, coax etc terminate in the garage as shown.

Coax is for TV or can be used for cable internet, as I understand it. But for Internet it’s being replaced in most metro areas by HFC NBN or one…

State Building Manager cancelled on us. Awaiting a new appointment date. 🤬

Same thing happened to us too! We moved in and a couple of days later a local council inspector pitched up and asked ‘why’ we were living there! We narrowly…

The water filter I have was the standard filter offered with “premium” homes, made by Water Filters Australia, the Platinum WFA5600. We’ve had the technician from them here already and…

Sorry to hear you’ve had a similarly bad experience. Hopefully these threads will warn others before parting with their hard earned cash. We were lucky during the build with a…

Thanks Dulie, whatever they’ve done they can put right. At the moment all I’m getting is shrugging of shoulders and an acceptance it is a low water flow.

So 20 months after moving in, we still have several items outstanding. We are now running into the “he said, she said” loop and whether work that should have been…

Quick picture update; pool paving finished with Aquabocci S66 drains, King sofa with Foscarini Caboche pendants and Aquabumps print in the background and a lovely marble table we personally imported…

Next on the shopping list, these little beauties for the island bench....

FOSCARINI CABOCHE

The light was provisioned as part of the standard lighting package. On handover they just fit a globe there but the wiring is long so once you get up there…

Hi guys,
It’s been a while but here’s our latest addition. LED chandelier from China for only $420 but came without any instructions on how to wire it up and took…

This is the coffee table we're waiting for....

Here's another one, apparently we're waiting for the coffee table to be on sale....

It does for a few dollars more but we have another coffee table in mind that will go with it better. Also getting our stainless steel BBQ from there, Ziegler…

Thanks Orph, got these in BBQ Galore of all places, an absolute steal at $1450! Good quality, steel frame.

Just these at the moment....
