Sorry Matt, just seen it was you.

Can get them to you if you want, same time as the tv cable.

Actually - I've just read the brochure again, it doesn't look like they do a white face plate with plugin modules that will do what we need. (Need a double switched socket and a fused spur, all in white. And preferably screwless).

You could do a switch for the fuse module, then another switch for the two power modules (one doing both)

Then the only let down is a screw less plate.

Not convinced about the cupboard around the consumer unit.

Could be picture angle i guess.

It is an odd angle at the moment, the holes relate to different services, the big one will have a data rack in it for my smart home stuff.

The small top one will have the lighting control modules in it

The one underneath it the the fuse board access.

I am going to see how it looks once furnished and thinking about just having a single MDF door covering both the lighting and board holes.

I've just stripped and painted a room with a similar issue. The middle was gunked up with caulk, I got a decent finish with some filler and sanding.

How are you getting on Chris?

Hoping to be in our new place by the middle of July! I meant to ask you but can you source Dali speakers?

Can not believe it has been 6 years since our build (& @pcmanson has been through 2 houses!!!)

Still loving the design and build we did, as does everyone who visits. Still feels modern and contemporary.

Girls play/study room has been through a couple of iterations and is now a TV / Music Den with a little fitness area to.

Office has stayed the same.

Utillity has evolved and absorbed the desk space units that came out of the girls room.

And during covid i finally did something with the garden (only 20years after we moved in)

Will grab some update, as is now, photos if people are still interested.
