The small matter of Electrical Box placement

Along with the list of questions we sent back before we would sign off on the plans we also decided to advise the builder that the light post in our street had been moved at some point before registration - sort of just an FYI as the councils plans had it located on the wrong side of the house. I think I wrote about the confusion this caused us in a previous post.
And it seems the confusion has struck again!

This week has been full of conversations between us, Integral Energy and Clarendon all about where the house would be connected to power. Everything we heard from Integral confirmed what we suspected - connection would be made through the small green pillar located in our garage side of the house and not to the light post. Everything Clarendon said disagreed with this and they were pushing to have our electrical box put outside Bedroom 1 and therefor behind our heads at night - something we certainly didn't want!
Finally after much discussion it was decided it would be left on the garage side of the house and to be reconfirmed at our electrical meeting.

By doing this it has meant we have been able to have everything sent to the estimators within 3 weeks and we now have our electrical and tiling appointments booked in for two dates in November.
