Electrical

After our Colour appointment it was time to do the electrical. In our Contract we had allowed $3000.
The good thing about doing the Electrical was that you had a running total of what you were spending on the board in front of you.

The biggest disappointment for us was the price of the downlights, $115 each, yep thats right, EACH. So there went the squillions of downlights that we were planning...we are big fans of them.

We had already planned our powerpoints so that did not take us long at all to plot, the only improvement was a 'powertainment' switch in the Theatre room....this has 6 powerpoints plus a TV point.

Back to the lights...

The only rooms we retained the downlights in were the bathrooms, some in the kitchen , the home theatre room and in my Craft room, for the rest we went with the standard Chinamens hat pendant.

The toughest part was deciding where the switches were to go and if we wanted two or three way switches on some, overall it didn't take us too long to do all this and in the end we only just went over our allowance, so we were happy with that.
