Very nice M and T Loving the facade viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Metricon Henderson 42 3Feb 12, 2016 6:27 am Thanks Emmz70! I love it too, the only differences from this plan is that there will be a little row of colonial windows above the garage, our upstairs balcony doors are actually French doors, our piers will be rendered instead of brick and our double entry doors will actually be one big pivot door. Hopefully, this will help achieve the look we're after. I will post more pics soon once I'm a bit more organised Re: Metricon Henderson 42 4Feb 12, 2016 8:11 am M and T Thanks Emmz70!

Please tell me you'll be doing some wainscoting inside the home. regardless your home will look fabulous. I love that look for sure, definitely will be following your build viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Metricon Henderson 42 6Feb 12, 2016 5:07 pm I love Wainscoting and it would look so perfect in our home but I think the estimators at Metricon will struggle with that one. The colonial Windows caused such a drama that I'm still having issues with the colonial Windows on the plans !

The colonial Windows caused such a drama that I'm still having issues with the colonial Windows on the plans ! I really hope you get a win with the windows, it would definitely go with your home. Wainscoting can be done afterwards so that's always a possibility Maybe they're struggling because they don't have those suppliers Hoping for a win!! viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Metricon Henderson 42 8Feb 15, 2016 12:30 pm If anyone else is building and requires a concept landscape plan for DA lodgement I can highly recommend a company called Shaun at Blue Gum Designs. Coincidentally I found his details on this forum. You pay him a set fee and he prepares you a concept landscape plan that can be submitted for DA within 5 to 7 working days. Fantastic service - if everyone I dealt with throughout this process was as professional and efficient as Shaun the build would be easy! Re: Metricon Henderson 42 9Feb 15, 2016 3:45 pm Love the Henderson. Has we have built with Metricon it would have been this one. Looking forward to following your build!

We loved the floor plan when we walked through the display... Re: Metricon Henderson 42 12Feb 16, 2016 11:04 am Re: Metricon Henderson 42 13Feb 16, 2016 7:55 pm Thanks Emmz70! We have a big family so we need a big alfresco to accommodate everyone! We just can't decide what floor covering we should use. I would love a timber deck but hubby is reluctant to go down this path because of the maintenance involved. At least we have plenty of time to think about it while M prepares for DA.

Great floor plan! I love the look of timber deck but My hubby refused to have timber deck. Too much maintenance We are going with tiles for the outdoor room and mod wood decking for a small area outside our rumpus. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Metricon Henderson 42 15Feb 17, 2016 10:41 pm Thanks Franky40. Timber decks look awesome initially but it might be easier if we go for tiles instead. Less maintenance and easier to clean. Have you chosen your tiles yet? Re: Metricon Henderson 42 16Feb 17, 2016 10:48 pm Just found your thread M and T, facade looks amazing! Can't wait to see it finished with the colonial windows etc Off to check out floor plan now Re: Metricon Henderson 42 17Feb 17, 2016 10:52 pm Thank you!!! Hearing positive feedback keeps me motivated while I wait for communication from M The windows are my fave part of the facade! I'm still trying to work out how to add my build thread to the bottom of my posts...I bet it's something simple and obvious yet can't work it out Build Thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 Metricon Henderson 42 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Re: Metricon Henderson 42 18Feb 17, 2016 11:10 pm Orph sent me details on how to do it, cannot for the life of me remember! I'll check if i have email but don't think i do. Maybe PM him (he is over in building with Metricon thread). So where exactly are you guys up to with yours? Contracts, colours etc?

So our contract has been signed but they forgot some things so they are currently working on variations to the plans. Once this happens the plans will go into council within 20 working days apparently. We've chosen our external colours which will be Dulux Grey Pail for the weatherboard and Lexicon Half for windows and doors. On the front of one of the Dulux catalogues there's a beautiful great and white weatherboard home which inspired my colour selection. As much as I love the look of the timber garage doors I've decided to go with more of a colonial look garage door in surf mist to match our windows. From memory I think I chose a coal colour for the roof tiles. Hope it all matches!! Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
