Helpful Hints to Remember

This post is to be referred to as we get further along the building process. The Home One Forum has been a god send. So many helpful hints and tips from those who have been there and done that. I'll update this as I gather more information.

Bathrooms
Ensure that the niches in the showers are completed at 300mm to allow for shampoo and conditioner bottles to fit. Some people have experienced after the gyprock and tiles the niche becomes 270mm, creating a tight fit for the bottles.

This photo shows the niche, the purpose of the picture was the shower head (it'll do as an example)

I also need to remember frosted glass windows for both the bathrooms.  

Painting

A contribution made today on the Home One Forum

Only hint for pci is turn the lights on in each room, we noticed alot more bad paintwork with them on. Also look above door frames as you walk into a room, our main bathroom had half a coat on it.

Home One

'Things you Forgot' Page 27 Summary  - This page will certainly get a work out. So many helpful tips to see us through our build.

Water Temperature Adjustors

Apparently with the Hot Water System temperature controls are not included. It has been suggested getting the Rheem Integrity Temp Deluxe Control (cost approx. $200).

Kitchen

A few people have been having issues with their kitchen island bench.

At the Tender Presentation I need to ensure the bench in the Sheffield is 1100mm wide with a 300mm overhang.
