DAY 36 - There's giant silver snakes in our roof!

Thursday 20th September, a few things are happening today -

-  upper scaffolding removed and scaffolding put around the lower roof of garage/family/rumpus
   (probably why they haven't finished that roof yet)
-  ducted aircon roughed in
-  first phone point moved to correct location

Not having had ducted aircon before, it's really weird to see everything that is normally hidden in the roof.  It looks like giant silver snakes slithering between the rafters and down through the upper floor to infiltrate below!

There are 4 air con access voids upstairs to allow them to access downstairs which are pretty good to get it where we need it.

The return air grille.  It wasn't put where we wanted it but we can live with that.
(I had thought the roof trusses wouldn't fit it so I guess they chose another suitable spot).

Overflow pipes to upper guttering.

The ducting is huge!  It's 300mm and i thought it would be hollow and easy to flatten but when squished it feels like a good quality pillow :)  It's layers of silver stuff with wadding in between (I'm sure the technical names make it sound worth the cost of it)

A view inside the ducting

For future NBN proofing, the builders specify conduit from the external phone line to the first phone point which will be at the hub.  It was cheaper for us to have the phone line company run the conduit and put our phone line it it than to pay the electrician to run it.  If we ever (way way in the future - we're not even a blip on the NBN radar yet) get NBN (and it may be via satalite) then they can pull out the phone line and pull through the NBN cable.  Because of structural beams and the size of their angles, the closest the could do was to run the conduit to the side of the hub position.  That works ok for us!

Conduit runs through the garage roof and through the stud wall of the family room,
across the the hub on the garage wall

Some other items were delivered today too... not sure what they are for?  Lintels for the windows maybe?
