sarah833 3 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Hi hiSarah, I don't see any "box" in your red room picture tho...? All so neat n tidy!The big white box is right in the middle below the window which can be covered up with a full length curtain. I was considering doing some storage solution below the window to create a ledge for displaying things like a typical Swedish home but didn't execute due to time and budget constraint. The trunking on the bottom left is the water pipes that lead to the mbdrm's bathroom, top left is for the cables for the living room and master bedroom and on the bottom right are aircon cables from the other two bedrooms via the bedroom next to the master bedroom.Overall the aircon man did a very good job in running the trunkings. There is no trunking at all in the living room, The bedroom next to the master bedroom has the most trunkings with a big chunk of it running above the skirting of the 5 meter long wall until it meets the trunking from the air con unit in that bedroom: The third bedroom has a small section exposed and it enters the second bedroom via the storeroom:] Edited December 25, 2015 by sarah833 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
looprevil 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 If you look carefully at the picture, I do know why your ID made such a big box. The Aircon piping are still within the area of the vertical trucking.If he do a smaller box up, that will leave your power point expose. I think it up to you to have a expose point or a bigger box.

arturobinewski 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2015 So busy with moving in, but it feels so odd cos there's still some way to go with the reno.. Since it's a long weekend and no contractors coming in and out of the house for a change, i decided to do a little xmas project with my main door light:Armed with a simple hanging bare bulb, balsa wood, yellow acrylic paint and a hot glue gun...... We get a memphis-inspired pendant lamp at the main entrance! (sorry if the photo is bad/ dark, it's because all of my lights aren't completely up yet..)UNPACKING CONTINUES.... I'd forgotten how photogenic this set of coffee cups were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so jelly!! Your place looks really great! Hi hi,I am lucky that I choose to buy the air con from the aircon contractor that my main contractor works with for years after doing price check. I had some ideas on how the trunkings to be run to minimize eyesore and the aircon boss is able to give his professional advise and suggest alternatives if it's not feasible.Thanks! I wish I can do small DIY project like you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lazyfatcat007 5 Report post Posted January 3, 2016 Very nice!! The dreaded air con box has become a piece of art!! 👍 Btw... where did you get ur black socket from?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arturobinewski 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2016 Hi fatcat, whole black sockets are available from Clipsal, but quite costly especially if you factor in sockets for the entire home. In our case, only our switch plates came in black, but the wiring box itself was originally standard issue White, then spray painted to match the covers.Was poking around for the cover brand and yup, found the packaging - FYM it says, on the box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
