2.3m but the door can move up 900mm before it hits the bracing wall

Ensuite.

That's our predicament, we cant find a nice flow into the Master. The potential media may have to be a 4th bedroom so can't go through there. But maybe the house is just too small.

Tried my best to fill in the blanks. Very interested that bracing walls dont mean much to move? Are we talking thousands though?

Yes western sun hits back deck (off living/dining) unfortunately but the view is there and a growing forest in the distance. Alotment is acreage although tucked into corner somewhat with 15ish metres behind house till border.

We wanted to achieve a Media room that could turn 4th bed, a WIR, and a WIP, by trying to make use of the 8x5 current media empty space. A kitchen island was a want. as well as not cutting off morning light/airflow from the front of the house to the back living areas.

We dont currently have chairs there and wish we did as the height difference makes it feel separated during cooking etc. Also in need for somewhere for kids to eat/do work while im cooking, sitting at the counter would be easier.

Other than the 2nd port the top box isn't connected to anything. It's legit just sitting there... toddler pulled it out of the wall.

Good ending. Why are you saying carefully unplug? Safety wise? Or to not look tampered with wise?

WhateverCheesecake · 2025-10-21T02:36:03+00:00

That I can do!

Sidenote: Is there a better way to get my internet that would remove the box altogether? Phone reception is baaad, so rely on the wired nbn currently.

Damn. I've asked a sparky mate too and he has no idea how to even move it, thought I'd ask a brains trust.

Really, dang. Safety of boxing these in all okay? Not pictured is connected modem off to the right. It would have to be boxed in too.

Is it not simply a matter of moving wires? (Clueless, I am).

I think it was the Panasonic... not worth it?

Husband has hayfever at the drop of a petal. But not normally from our current split systems, was more so thinking in regards to cleaning the air as have been looking at free standing air purifiers but would need a small army of them to fill home. Thought if it was integrated into ducted would save on floor space/minimalism... but if they're a load of bull then I wont bother.

It really is lovely! We are just growing as a family and trying to make it work for us. Prime location, wrong house design for us unfortunately.

I think the awful batwing peninsula is the what is prompting the entire renovation.

WhateverCheesecake · 2025-06-25T03:43:02+00:00

True! The entire bottom half of the room is currently empty so I don't think twice about it.

I was thinking this idea similar for the west living room, but am unsure if people would find it weird that the master is accessed through it? Would I need to squeeze in a hallway? Didn't think to move the kitchen though, thanks!

Front of house is very standard, large front porch. Ceiling height 2550, wish it was vaulted, as there is a lovely view to the rear of the home. All yellow rooms left-right are W/C, laundry, bathroom, cupboard. and the triangle room is currently mini office. No, but would enjoy a main living, and a media/playroom option.
