Back to the house which thankfully is going very well. Just popped over this afternoon to take some photos and hopefully be able to do the blog but........ - aircon guys have been busy and all the electrical and plumbing for the three units is in. The plumber has finished everything for the bathrooms, laundry and external plus gas lines for kitchen. All good.
Solar power people are due next Tuesday to do all the wiring for the solar panels. I did some research via the tablet and phone today re the possible use of solar lights instead of the skylight(s) and have come to the conclusion that we will have neither. Reason being that we already have LED lights in the laundry, hallway and kitchen (the possible locations for skylights or solar lights) and the electrician advised that you can just have those on all day if you wish for virtually no running cost and well below the cost ($800+) of installing either skylights or solar lights - and we will have 10 solar panels on the roof powering them all day anyway. Made sense to me.
Will do another update (hopefully with photos!!!) when the doors go in which we reckon will be a highlight - hopefully this week.
