Hi! I think your lighting choice should be influenced by what you see as the focal point of the space. If you have spectacular views out your windows, you may not want eye catching different sized pendant lighting fighting with the view. However, being west facing, you may have the top part of the window wall shaded with awnings or a verandah - therefore your lighting would not distract from the view. Maybe also think about what is going on below the lighting area: think about the overall style you are going for in the room: are the furnishings minimalistic so therefore could do with some eye catching lighting? or do you have spectacular artworks or an eyecatching coffee table? If so, dimmable, LED downlights could be the answer instead of feature lighting. Too many "wow" factors can confuse the eye and create a sense of unease. Hope that did not confuse you further!! Like the other people said, a photo of the existing space would help.Sounds like an amazing room. All the best with it! :)

You may need to take bath out the reattach a fitting. The rust can be sanded and treated then bath renamelled. It’s putting a fitting in that is the issue. You need to get quote from a restorer. Given that a new bath requires this to be removed and new fitted if you can get the part it should be cheaper. But you could do a cheap bath too....

An electrical installation is a coherent set of electrical circuits and/or electrical equipment. This installation must comply with the regulations in force in the country. In Australia, the AS / NZS 3000 Electrical Installations standard. It details the characteristics of electrical installations and the implementation rules. In other words, this standard is a bit your bible for you, electricians. In addition, when an electrical installation is faulty, your customers may face multiple risks. Let's detail them together so that you can alert them and make them aware in order to reduce these dangers as much as possible. The risks incurred in the event of incorrect electrical installation Material risks If an electrical installation is defective, the consequences that this can cause are: A power outage an electrocution short-circuit A fire Yes, we agree, it does not make you dream! Other risks In addition to the risk of accidents, your customers may also be refused coverage of the claim by the insurance or have their indemnity reduced if the origin of the accident is due to a faulty electrical installation. On the other hand, the owner of the apartment or the house is criminally and civilly liable for the damage caused by the defective electrical installation. In some cases, he may be prosecuted for endangering the life of others. Precautionary measures that can be taken Check the electrical installation First of all, do not repair a defective fuse with a copper or metal wire. It is better to replace it directly with a new one. In a second step, it is necessary to connect as few household appliances as possible on the same electrical circuit. To know the number of devices that can be connected, you need to know the maximum intensity of the electrical circuits in each room. It is also necessary to look at the associated circuit breaker as well as the sockets. For example, do not connect a device requiring a 32A socket to a 16A socket and vice versa. Finally, it is recommended, for example, not to start a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a dryer at the same time on the same circuit. These are power-hungry devices that could cause an electrical overload. Check power outlets In the event of defective elements, they must be replaced. On the other hand, alert your customers to the dangers associated with the use of power strips. Indeed, the first risk is overheating. If there is an accumulation of devices connected to the same place, this can cause an overcurrent that can generate an electrical fire. It is also necessary to keep your power strip clean and in good condition because a deposit of grease can hinder its proper functioning. A good practice to follow is to have a secure model with an on/off switch to turn off the connected devices during an absence. This is something to add to the to-do list “before going on vacation”. Your customers can also equip themselves with multi-outlet models equipped with a resettable circuit breaker to avoid overvoltages. Pay attention to electrical wires Electrical wires carry power throughout the home. The conductors are, they are made of copper and covered with colored plastic. The color indicates the type of wire (phase, neutral, or earth). hire a professional electrician to do the repairs Contact SCS Group property services and Electrical at 1300 66 46 47

No, builder coming around tomorrow for first time, as is Class 2 designer (been a rush to get a bunch of class 2 consultants on board for a simple reno). So far all my own investigations. The slab is structural, 275 thick with localised thickened beams over the posts in the carpark. Opening it up would probably be refused by Strata. I can go look at the original structural details to see how much cover is over the reo - maybe I can get a 20-30mm scabble and do the rest with screed to cover before tiles. It'd be very flat though. Will need a structural engineer to sign off on the detail, and if I'm honest, I'm uncomfortable reducing cover to the reinforcement as below and think it opens up a bunch of risks. I'll run this past them tomorrow for their comment though.
