Data and home automation cabling

Cabling for home automation, data and A/V commenced on Wednesday.  The team worked really well running cables.  The preparation we spent over Christmas/New Year period installing wall plates (with labels for each cable), catenary system between key cable paths, noggins/studs and conduits for cable segregation and mounting plates also helped make the process progress smoothly.  A big thanks to Ian as well for the detailed diagrams.

Work completed involved:

• C-Bus cabling (pink cables)
• A/V cabling (speakers, HDMI, RCA, antenna)
• Ethernet cabling
• Automation and security cabling

Bricking started on Tuesday last week, but have had a few days of rainy weather.  A few progress pics...

Brick layers said the job would be finished in 3-4 weeks.  The front of the house has 'seconds' bricks that will be rendered in Surfmist later.  Rest of the house has Vanilla Ice bricks from PGH with rolled grey mortar joints.
