In our HT we got our Data Cabler to put a provision for wall mounted TV in. It basically consisted of two wall plate brackets (tv height and normal lowline…

I agree with fitting it behind the TV if there's enough room and it doesn't cause airflow issues. Or make up a shelf the exact same footprint as the foxtel…

Don't quote me but i know of people who held back payments for a bit and didn't get slugged for it. I suggest you give them a call and say…

+1 recommend Paulw11 suggestion, I didn't bother with any pricey systems, i just got it all terminated to a standard 12RU network cabinet in the garage and patched it in…

My assumption is that it was close to smoko or knock-off time and they decided to drop it in the hole and let the landscaper get back to work and…

Roger that!

What you can and can't do is different to what you're licensed to carry out. And your Cisco ticket isn't an open cabling license, i'm pretty sure.

Wish I'd come on here earlier!
I have a mate who made a complaint and, as Pugs said, they remedied it by giving him a temporary 3G phone or some crap.
Anyway,…

Excellent! Really loving it, we have the kangaroos come out of the scrub and hang out next to our fence most mornings, there are frogs in our garden, and there…

Paving almost complete, so hopefully we'll be free of alot of the dust / mud through the new house! Thank goodness! It'll also be nice to get the broom brooms…

Nice one Matty!

Or even just using an RJ45 to RJ12 cable, which you can buy.

The builder will undoubtedly charge a (imo ridiculous) markup for extra power and data...so it'll be expensive.
Having said that, getting cabling done after the fact will also be expensive given…

Our build was pretty feral too...I didn't mind much so long as the finish was done right! Looks great though!

I presume by electrical run they mean the lead-in from the pit in the street? That's strange! Is your house set back very far on the block? Maybe you were…

The bottom line is that you just didn't get cat6 as asked for. There is a difference in price, so get on to them about it!

Will do, but don't want to hijack this thread too, which I'm on the cusp of!
I've actually got alot of progress photos that I'll post up in my very own…

It sure is.
Can't really complaint because we're in our house, and there aren't any major issues...but it'd be nice to have the gardens and paving done so we don't get…

Totally sick of mud!! Still have pieces of cardboard and carpet offcuts all through the house to try to catch all the mud before it gets trecked through the living…

I'd be hoping not to get water hammer in a gas pipe anyway! That'd be a bit of an issue!

Got wood yet Va1ar?

Depends what the engineers say whe they do the survey.

Almost 0 chance of water hammer which is great. I assume the plastic pipe is far easier to install than copper too...no need to spend time making bends and firing…

Pretty sure my water pipes weren't fixed in many spots, so there's some flexibility there which would hopefully avoid them being "pinned" when you stick a massive great nail through…

If you're leveling it out with the bottom of the fence then that's a BIG drop! I don't think that'll really be possible.
As for removing some dirt, By the looks…

Was there much of a market for building old schools?

Chips off the edge are always going to occur, i don't think that's an issue. It could obviously be an aesthetic issue if you've got a chip on your garage…

This should probably be posted in the Home Theatre & Automation subforum. There are data cablers in there. Not sure if any are in Bris, but some might be able…

Better they take their time and get it perfect than smash it up there and do a rough job!
Once they get a roll on they get the bricks up pretty…

We've got lighter carpets in the new place. Sort of a dark cream colour. We had dark carpets in our old place and they were horrifically difficult to keep clean.…
