I've come across various blogs with lots of useful information... This page will be dedicated to referencing those ideas I would like to implement.

Lighting update + a cool device charger powerpoint combo

Now here's a cool device. This powerpoint will replace strategic powerpoints around the house, and allow us to charge via USB the myriad of devices we have. Mostly Apple, but it can be anything. The left USB charge is 1-Amp, for iPhones, and the right USB is for iPads and similar requiring a bit more power grunt -

These devices are from an Australian-owned company called SOCKITZ. They are available via the web at - http://sockitz.com.au/ for $37.95 each, and for extra you can get coloured or aluminium ones. You can install these yourself if you're up to it. Technically, an electrician should do it, but it's your call on that.

These plugs will totally eliminate the need to have a bunch of chargers lying around the house. Only just USB cables now - yay!

 

WeepGuards

Here's something I've got onto - Weep-guard - to block little creatures getting into the house via the weep holes brickies leave in bricks these days - they are everywhere! Anyway, these weepguards come in 5 different colours. I chose grey. They are $15 for 10 at Bunnings. Looking for cheaper pricing -

Here's a typical weep-hole covered over. What do you think? Look ok? -
