Pre-start

Woohooo prestart done and dusted today. It only took 2.5 hours and 1.5 hours was spent on the electrical and lighting plan! Bec was expecting the worst however we came out relatively unscathed however the wallet may be feeling it in two weeks time when we get the new price sheet.
The Contracts Administrator at Ultimate was very friendly and knowledgable (she has 5 kids!). She seemed to indicate that she knew what a Clipsal Powertainment unit was. After pointing out that two of the elevations were not to scale, she picked up that I was an engineer. One of the main changes that I had not picked up was that the electric meter box was a standard one - I just assumed that it was the one with the fuse box in the garage. Good thing as Bec would not want to go to the dark side of the house to reset a fuse.
We had some trouble with the downlights as Ultimate do not have 240V downlights (GU10 base) in their offering so we had to go with halogen downlights over the kitchen bench, ensuite and bathroom room vanities. We will also be buying oyster lights for the family, kitchen, meals and outside lights for them to install.
