Thanks, Tessa.  Most of this looks good, but of course there are some
changes:

New home estimate:

    - Item 6, also items 1-4 and 1-5 of the request for additional
      items: Oven tower 900 mm wide to accommodate the Westinghouse
      oven with base at 800 mm and space for a microwave oven above at
      approximately 1400 mm.  This will be at the left end of the wall
      to bedroom 4.  Cooktop to be centred in the remaining space.

    - Item 3 on page 2: Flooring to be vinyl flooring from Delta's
      Knight Tile or Cabernet lines for all non-tiled areas.  Peter
      tells me that the pricing for both is the same, but since the
      Cabernet catalogue isn't out yet, we can't make a choice.

Request for additional items:

    - Item 1-11 appears to be a duplication of 1-3.

    - Item 1-12: Electrical power will probably be 2 phase, 50 A.
      Powercor won't supply anything more than that.  The exact layout
      of the switchboard will depend on the solar system that we will
      install.  Could you please supply details of your normal wiring
      showing which points are connected to which circuits?

    - Items 1-13, 1-14: TV antenna with standard amplifier and cables
      to media, living and bedrooms 1 and 4.  All cables should be
      terminated.  The amplifier is important.

    - Item 1-15: Normal power and lighting circuits to be supplied by
      battery backup solar.  Additional mains-connected circuit for
      heavy consumers such as electric kettles, deep fryers and
      washing machines to kitchen, fridge space, laundry, garage and
      the two points in family room to the left of the window at
      bottom of plan, as shown on plan 9 of the architecturals.

    - Item 1-16:  This can be cancelled.

    - Items 1-17 and 1-18: Cat6 Ethernet cables and blind fibre in
      study, living, media, family and all bedrooms.  Cat6 to be
      terminated in a single wall socket.  Fibre can be left
      unterminated behind the wall plate.

    - Item 1-19: All data cables to be connected to a user-supplied
      switch located in the WIP.  Fibre should also end here.

    - Item 1-20: Two power circuits in WIP, one for switch, one for
      refrigerators.

    - Item 1-21: No additional power points are necessary in the
      kitchen.  This item is covered by item 1-15.

    - Item 1-24: one set of drawers is enough.  My understanding is
      that they are already included.

In addition to these items, I have:

    - We've already deducted the heating.  We also need a different
      hot water supply, probably solar with heat pump backup.  Can you
      quote for this and also let us know how much we would get
      refunded if we were to supply this item ourselves.

In general we'd prefer you to do all the work if your conditions are
favourable, but we'd like to be able to supply things ourselves if
possible.

Please contact me on 5346 1370 if you have any more questions.

Greg
