Gable over the balcony has been stained and it looks awesome Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Funny thing is when we had our external colours appointment we were told that it was extra to get the timber posts and the horizontal barge stained, they quoted $760 for the timber posts and $2000 for the barge . We just chose to get the timber posts stained and the barge painted in surfmist. But as you can see our barge was also stained. Yay!! Now my dilemma is... the balcony floor barge has been installed with same type of wood that can be stained, it hasnt been stained yet as the scaffold is in the way, (our colour schedule states that it is to be painted in surfmist), but it will most likely be stained. Should we not say anything and let the painter stain it or tell SM that its supposed to be painted? I think it might look too much if it was stained. Fascia and gutters to lower roof have been installed Lower roof tiles delivered Front portico pillars have been painted Electrical rough ins has commenced Sorry didnt get to take much photos.. will do next time we visit Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78449 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 293May 07, 2016 9:23 pm It does look awesome! Just take note for staining a different type of wood is required. We wanted the same stained look bit more said they had to use a different timber (suitable) for staining/outdoor use. The standard timber is only suitable for painting on. We were quoted $1k to stain each beam in our outdoor room. Not sure if this applies to you too. Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 294May 07, 2016 9:27 pm Looks gorgeous! Can I ask- it looks like you have monument gutters and a lighter facia- dos you have to specifically ask for that capping on the peaked section of roof to be monument (or the darker colour of your gutters) rather than the same colour as the facia? My silly builder has ordered the capping in the same colour as the facia so our house looks like it has dark wings! C U S T O M. C O R A L.

Yes they have used a different type of wood for the barges which can be stained Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78449 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 299May 08, 2016 9:55 am MrsJM Looks gorgeous!

B R O N T E. 43 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=79581 Thank you MrsJM . I had a look at the picture you posted and that is very odd that they put basalt as your capping rather than monument. We didn't specifically ask for the same colour as the gutter. One would assume it would be the same. Hopefully they can fix it for you .
