The old house is coming along and Walt installs a wood burner, a solar and battery system and its kitchen and laundry week!
The smart home revolution - whole house solar system
Solar power, batteries, heat pumps, heating and cooling, appliances - imagine if they all talked to each other to work out when the sun is shining and turn on when the power is free? That is exactly what was achieved with this solar and batter, whole home approach.
The Wood burner is a perfect fit
Discovering the old brick chimney inside the living space was the find of the project and it begged for a wood burning fire. Finding a design that fit the gap perfectly was very tricky, but in the end this Blaze 400 was the solution. Bring on the cold winter!
Selecting taps, sinks and harware
Nick from Choice Supplies drops in to bring in samples of designer taps, showers, kitchen sinks and a huge range of Fisher & Paykel appliances. Choice is the little secret that interior designers, builders and renovators use to get the essentials for a better price.
The stunning kitchen laundry and living build
Interior designer Marylou Cafaro designed the most stunning living and kitchen, selecting polytec as the design panels throughout. Working with Mr Cabinets and a selection of suppliers, this entire area is the heart of the home. And wow - just stunning.
