Well the time is nearly upon Me & “Her Indoors” we should have exchanged contracts on Friday and while I was in the Pub having an early celebratory Pint my solicitor phoned to say the final two documents had not yet arrived and the closing would not be done till Monday. Wait till the Builder finds out!
The house Floor Plan as it is now!
And after a Friend of the Wife, Sasha, got his Design Hands on it (thank's Sasha)

there are two planed on there the original house (Cottage) which has the 4 main rooms off the hall, the back building which leads out to the yard and the Garage at the back. The back building will be demolished and we are building an extension which is 7 meters back by 7.5 meters wide.
The Av Node0 is either going to be located in the new utility or (My) the TV Room/Office.
Current kit includes:-
Sony Z4500 40” LCD
Sony 40S 2510 40” LCD
Sony ES STR 5200 AV Amp
Sony STR DB1070 5.1 AV Amp
Kef 2005.2 5.1 Speakers
Sony XL 201 Home Media PC
Sony BD 350 Blu Ray
Sky HD
Humax PVR
I have also purchased 900 or so meters of CAT6 cabling and 100 meters of Van Dam Blue speaker cable.
The Kef's will go in the Lounge with an additional 2 speakers in the ceiling, Mid left & right, to make a 7.1 set up, I am looking at Kef Ci 160 for the additionals.
All the Face Plates are the modular type, I ordered the Speaker Binding posts from www.nexxia.co.uk (8 x NX-WP-005 Speaker Binding Post Wall Plates 2 Terminal, 8 x NX-WP-006 Speaker Binding Post Wall Plates 4 Terminal, 2 x NX-WP-024B Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Binding Post Wall Plate and 2 x NX-WP-037B Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound Binding Post Wall Plates in white) and I got the Modular Face Plates (Cat 6, HDMI etc) from Outlet Plates, Patresses and Trunking, TV/Radio/Satellite Plates
I have quotes for Rako Wired Lighting and Crestron iLUX to be fitted, firstly, to the extension then when funds permit I will fit the remainder house with the added (retro fit) automated lighting. See my post in “Automated Home” http://www.avforums.com/forums/home...imate-control/1133507-automated-lighting.html and http://www.avforums.com/forums/home...g-its-down-final-2-rako-vs-crestron-ilux.html section (this Automated Lighting is a nightmare to get your head around).
The Lounge & TV Room/Office will have 8 runs of Cat6, 4 runs of Sat and a TV & FM. The Bedrooms will have 4 runs of Cat6, 2 Sat feeds and 1 TV and 1 FM. All the rooms will have hidden wiring for the speakers too.
I will add the pictures over the weekend of the house as it is now. Then I will keep updating as I go on.
I will also try add the names of all the people who have either inspired me with designs (mainly the F&*king Force fella with all his Fab equipment) as well as any others who have helped with advice on Automated Lighting etc!
If anyone wants to make any suggestions on wireing or design please feel free to do so!
