| Front Entry Door - Ready for lock up? |
 |
| Laundry Door - I don't like this door but had to go with it as we're installing a doggie door and its much cheaper to get one installed on this type of door than a fully glazed one. Ah the joys of owning a dog. |

| Electricity Meter Box |
 |
| View from our Kitchen Galley where we have put the main data point. |

| Electrical Point for our hardwired door bell. This is probably one regret - could have got a wireless one for heaps cheaper. Oh well. |
 |
| Not sure what this electrical wiring is doing there. Need to recheck our plans. |
 |
| Wiring for our junction boxes for future external lights. |
 |
| All the cabling runs down from a wall in the games room (I think) Windows |
 |
| Family Room Window |
 |
| Games Room Window - had to be obscure to prevent overlooking, we chose the 'cathedral' style. |
 |
| Downstairs bathroom window. We upgraded to a square set reveal awning window as per the one display at Wollert. The standard is sliding. |
 |
Whats with these window wedges? How do they fill the gap? |
