Wiring, plumbing and insulation!

Here is where our fuse box will be. There are probably three times as many wires now. It looks quite ridiculous. We have have electricity wires, data wires (for hardwired internet and phone points), tv antenna wires, foxtel kind of wires, and even some speaker wires all behind the plaster. There's also a big "3 phase" wire running to the garage. I don't really understand it but I think it allows you to use machinery that draws more power than normal applicances. Darren has thought of everything that we might want to use in the future which is very sensible.



Here is the entrance with it's paint on upstairs. It's a bit hard to see but we are really happy with the colours.


Just a pic of some of the lighting wires in the kitchen. They put a big pink spot on the floor where the wire is and then cut a hole in the plaster later for the light. They use a laser plumb line thing that shines a perfectly vertical beam from the floor to the ceiling. This is so the plasterers can just lay the sheets quickly without having to cut holes out for everything.



This is our stairwell inside looking up at the top level roof insulation.


Here is Tony, our plumber who loves to be photographed!!. He's laying pipes for the upstairs bathroom.
