Meetings, Fascia, Gutters and Solar Power

This week we met with the air-conditioning contractor to discuss the placement of the thermostat and outdoor unit.

We also met the alarm system contractor to decide on the placement of the motion detectors and the keypad. The television (8) and data points (3) will also likely be done by this contractor as the builders’ regular electrician is not available and the new electrician does not really do this type of work. We will most likely add foxtel cable television, 1x additional television point, and cable provisioning for a future intercom system.

And we also met the new electrician onsite to walk through and mark the location of down lights, power points, etc. The new electrician was really knowledgeable and efficient. a walkthrough to decide on electrical is highly recommended – we managed to significantly cut down on the anticipated number of required down lights.

And we also met the solar power contractor onsite to decide on the placement of the solar panels (rear, north facing roof) and inverter (wall mounted in the garage, close to the future electrical switch box). The contractor laid the cables between the inverter and panel positions on 02/05/2013.

The majority of fascia and gutters were installed on 02/05/2013.
