Re: Tiawamutu's House Build
Hi there. good luck with the build. Hope it goes as smoothly as ours did.
We've got the whole surround sound thing happening as well, although ours is in the lounge, not a separate theatre room. When our house was being built, at frame stage, just before all the giprock went up, my OH put all the speaker cabling up himself, so he could connect it all up when we moved in. I couldn't bear to watch when he was cutting out 6 holes in my ceiling, but have to admit he did a great job, and it all looks and sounds great.

Re: Tiawamutu's House Build
Well I went up there today, to see if they had started leveling out the land, and saw the tractor again, over the other side 
The man was standing next to it, so you'll never believe it....I went and had a chat with him!
I asked him if he knew anything about our plot, and he said he'd only been given the plans for the blocks of land he was on. He asked who we were building with and I told him. He said that the plots he was leveling out, were for the same company, and it may be that he gets the plans for our lot next week!
Fingers crossed it will happen soon.

Re: Tiawamutu's House Build
My wife wants one of those integrated vacum cleaners where each room has a nozzle - but not sure how that fits in with insulation and other wirings.

Can't wait til they start building.
I don't know if you or anyone else felt like this, and i don't know how to explain it, but whenever I go up to the plot of land, I feel settled there, and don't really want to come home. Probably me just being daft
