Re: Metricon Glendale 37+ 362Jan 31, 2017 8:30 pm VMGlendale37 So the good news is our external door frames are in and all our doors external and internal have been delivered today! The bad news is...I'm just not sure they have delivered the correct front door. We chose XS26 and got this... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Can anyone confirm if it's the right one? Thanks! What is that? A block of timber? Definately the wrong door! Maybe they ran out of glass and substituted timber instead?

Saw the pic online and in the selections guide but still thought I'd check with you all. Message already sent to SS and I'm sure he'll respond in the morning. We also have a site walk through on Friday morning so we can also raise it again then. Re: Metricon Glendale 37+ 367Jan 31, 2017 10:38 pm Roof Flashing: (picture to follow in the morning) but the lower roof flashing has been installed today and we now have this very obvious metal join between lower roof tiles and bricks. Not the look we wanted or expected. Is this likely to be painted/covered up?

Not the look we wanted or expected. Is this likely to be painted/covered up? Yes it will be painted. Check your metal capping colour on external selections.

Thanks Mink will be checking the colour selection. , (I know a few of you are having some 'challenges' with SM's updates and progress, but just to give a balanced view) our SM replied to my text (at 6am this morning) to confirm flashing will be painted as well as confirming he'll be follow up on the front door. I'm fully expecting a call later today with an update from him, he's just that good at communicating and providing updates (hands off folks he's just too good! ) this is our first "sorry M that's not what we want" so will see how it pans out but comms and updates won't be a problem. We've been very lucky to get him.
