Found a good Aerial view of Glenmore Ridge from nearmap.com. Interesting to see how much it has changed in just a year!

The air-conditioning

We were going to get the ducted system that McDonald Jones offers which is by Derby, but after a quick google and reading some feedback on the unit we decided to get something better, more reliable and efficient, especially when outlaying so much money and I am firm believer of you get what you pay for.

After sending off quite a few emails to different suppliers/installers we heard back from Ample Air first. About 2 weeks later we heard back from Frost Air. Ample Air supplied a great quote that was posted to us with all the information about the proposed ducted system and parts etc that will be used. Frost sent me an email with 3 options and prices and a form to tick and pay a deposit, no information regarding the ducted and materials used or information regarding the units.

Needless to say we are going to go with Ample Air and a Toshiba inverter unit. Met with Daniel from Ample Air on Friday to discuss a few things about the system. Very helpful and professional. We are going to get 3 zones with 9 outlets. So that is one less thing to worry about organising when the time comes.

The kitchen

This is pretty much the colour of the kitchen, except it doesn't have a glass splash back and we are not sure of the colour yet.


Rangehood and freestanding oven
Cupboards and benchtop
