Storage and spares

• There is a storage area for tools.
• Spare tiles and paint are around the corner, for matching.
• More pool tile tops are stored outside. They look weathered. Spraying them with acid cleans them.
• Spare tiles and spare timber or decking were kept.
• Spare clips were mentioned with the garden hoses.

Gas

• Bottles are switched by turning the empty one off and the spare one on.
• Gas is plumbed to the stove.
• A second line was run for a barbecue, so a BBQ does not need its own tank.
• Power and gas are both at the barbecue point.

Water and garden

• One side of the waterway is fresh, then salt.
• It connects to the ocean and the SeaWorld river system.
• Do not swim. Bull sharks.
• The garden is river stones and is meant to be low maintenance, about half an hour.
• A gardener maybe once a fortnight.
• Weeds blow in. Neighbouring chickens sometimes scratch the ground.
• Neighbours named: Steve and Mary Jane, and Nick and Jess.
• Private cul-de-sac with water access and a view. Parties can echo.
• Two hoses. One is for the front lawn. It was dug in before the reno but never installed. The owner will tag it “front lawn”.
• Sprinklers along the carport were usually done by hand.
• One hose is trenched all the way down near the water meter.
• The other is trenched to the front, near the little deck on the left, with three sprinklers.

Pool

• The pump is automatic, about two hours, eco mode, roughly 11 to 1, with high, medium, and eco.
• The pump’s low setting is the chlorinator.
• Manual mode is for debris.
• The pump is oversized for a very small pool.
• Chlorine was low at the time. Speech-to-text said “like 20 feet”. Treat that phrase as unclear.
• The pump starts high for about a minute, then drops to eco.
• Filter pressure is on a gauge.
• The cartridge is like a car air filter. It is removed and hosed. Suggested about monthly, or when pressure builds.
• From 20 September: bleed it, twist the cartridge off, and hose it. Described as better than sand filters because there is no reverse cycle. Rinsed about every couple of months. A sock in the catch. Sometimes scrub.
• Robotic cleaners were mentioned as something people buy, not as installed equipment.
• The pool can be cleaned in about 15 minutes. Scrub, and acid every so often.
• Water is tested down the road at Swim, near the IGA.
• The heater is a touch panel with temperature in and out. It needs most of the day. A morning start may be warm by about 2 pm. It is mainly for winter.
• The heater stops if the pool pump stops. The owner likes to switch it off manually. It is not Bluetooth.
• Example given: water in 18 degrees, out 19. At Christmas nearly 37 degrees uses a lot of energy.
• When it is warm, anything over 30 degrees feels warm, and the heater is not needed in summer.
• The pool itself never gets lit. Pool-light power is under the deck.
• The spare-area shower is rarely used.
• The pool pole and equipment were left around the corner.

Hot water

• A heat pump serves the whole house.
• The 20 September note names the brand Sanden, Japanese. It was described as efficient.
• Local plumbers exist who specialise in that system.
• The owner tried to buy low-energy equipment.
• Check the high-pressure valve occasionally so it does not stick.

Air con and plumbing

• One unit is for the big dining air conditioner. The lounge unit is near the electrical box.
• An air-con drain was plumbed into a toilet cistern, so it trickles into the toilet instead of through the roof or wall.
• The kitchen has two dish drawers, with power for both. One tap shuts off both dishwashers. The sink has separate hot and cold.
• Cooking exhaust vents outside.
• Gas cooktop igniters sometimes stick.
• The oven still needs cleaning.
• The microwave has power in its cabinet.
• Manuals are to be left for the dishwasher, oven, air conditioner, pool pump, and related gear.

Lighting and electrical

• Many lights are half-and-half and two-way.
• A blue indicator means the light is off.
• A spare middle switch and cable was left for a future under-cabinet light. It currently does nothing.
• Blue lights are around the deck.
• Exterior switches are inside.
• There is an exterior fan and lighting for the table and BBQ area, including a light from the laundry.
• No solar, and no dedicated EV outlet. Standard power points only. The owner mentioned a possible 240 V adapter but prefers solar.
• The fridge has a plumbed water line the owner ran.
• The back deck has power.
• Power was never run to the pontoon. Cables are ready if a light is wanted down there.
• Cable runs up the back where the six-point lights are, and there is a power point for later.

Shower

• A filter on one shower was heard as Sanaki or Sonaki “Vita”. It was described as chlorine removal, vitamin C, liquid refills, and it screws onto the head.
• It was going to be removed and taken by the seller.

Bar / spare TV room

• Three lights: centre, downlight, and others.
• LED power is inside the cabinet.
• There is another power point.

Garage and gates

• The gate sensor light can be full-on or sensor, but sometimes needs a toggle or reset.
• Other switches: garage, side of house, carport, front, and rear or laundry.
• The laundry door from the garage is kept locked. Extra locks were added.
• Two roller doors were described. Only one remote is set up for both.
• The owner also said they like the three garages, and wanted garage space to work on cars or motorbikes as a hobby. Both were spoken. This page does not try to reconcile two roller doors with three garages.
• Remotes and gate controls are separate.
• A spare square control was kept for a future garage-door installer.
• The gate must be closed before opening the garage door, or it can jam.
• The systems are automatic.

Comms and NBN

• Data points were installed, including for extra Wi-Fi. The owner says whole-house Wi-Fi makes them unnecessary, and that Wi-Fi is strong enough.
• The router is up there, from the street. A specific room was not named in the notes used here.
• One NBN point was described as disconnected.
• NBN comes in at a location the owner pointed out. The installer uses that. The place name was not written down here.
• One cable will be the NBN. Put the router there.
• Two or three cables are hardwired into the study. Labels may say something like upstairs.

Intercom and doorbell

• 20 September: there is one intercom here and others around the corner. When someone buzzes at the gate you see video. You can see someone and say hello.
• The gate does not have power to it. Cables are there if a locksmith powers it later.
• The front doorbell is outside the gate, takes a photo, and manuals are to be left. On 20 September it was described as connected. The owner called this really the only electrical issue.
• 4 October test, and it failed: the outside camera or doorbell should notify the indoor monitor and take a picture. During the test nothing happened. They could not hear each other. The monitor showed “missed call 53”. The owner will get someone to check it, possibly the front-door sensor. Manuals will be left.
• Those two accounts conflict. 20 September said the doorbell was connected. The 4 October test failed with missed call 53. Both are kept as spoken.

Rooms

• Study: two lots of power points, plus data to NBN. The desk and a small cabinet stay. The computer is being removed.
• Main bedroom: dimmable light, veranda light and power point. The air-con remote and manual are to be left.
• Bathroom: cupboard light, main light, and shower exhaust are on separate switches. The original design had a bidet, from about 2013.
• Smallest bedroom: one power point, no dimmer, a normal fan, and new cupboards. Its air conditioner is not working. A note says not to use it. The unit is older and is mounted outside on two brackets.
• Another bedroom: a new air conditioner, large drawers and cupboards, and a lake view. All house cupboards were replaced. The old melamine and timber was poor.
• Fourth bedroom: guest room. Some motorbike items were still there temporarily.

Keys and remotes

• The storage lock is double-locking. The extra deadbolt is optional.
• A gate key and a garage key were shown.
• The automatic gate remote is separate.
• The transcript mentions four garage-related remotes or controls, and two gate controls.
• One remote operates both garage doors. The second button on the other remotes is not paired.
• The “red one” is for the side or second door.
• Manuals and keys will be left out.

Visit timing

• Spoken timing, without a month named in these notes: people from Sydney on the first, second, third, and fourth.
• The first to the third was described as a Saturday plan to Byron. On Sunday the fourth they would like to bring them.
• The owner said to text when you pass by, and maybe let Mitchell know.
• Mitchell and Kaya were called lovely.
• The owner will let Mitchell know about the third.
• A phone number was exchanged and is omitted on purpose.
