Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 1767Oct 01, 2016 11:10 pm looking fantastic! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 1768Oct 03, 2016 3:40 pm Brickies were back today but STILL didn't finish! All they did today was 2 window sills of which one was already cut and just needed to be mortared in, finished the last 10 rows around one alfresco pillar and did one row up the top of alfresco on the side. They still need to finish the front piers a bit higher and under the stacker door. Think they will need to come back and fix some things too, there is a big gap between kitchen splashback window and steel lintel and there are a few spots from today where they have just filled a gap with quite a thick mortar fill! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 1770Oct 03, 2016 3:54 pm They've packed everything away so not sure when they will be back! Wish they'd just stay on the one job til finished!! Luckily it shouldn't hold up the first floor cladding which should hopefully start this week. Insulation due end of next week so no plaster til after that. At least it's some progress I guess lol Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 1771Oct 03, 2016 3:55 pm kylz4 Brickies were back today but STILL didn't finish!

Wish my guys were on site today no movement yesterday or today but they did put in a big effort on Saturday. Looks like they have done enough to get the carpenters back onsite.

This building game really tests our patience.

I understand when people buy in development estates the land can be delayed but when I had a house sitting there just waiting for them to hurry up and start so we could demo was a massive waste of time and money. Everyone says it will be worth it for us in the end. I hope they are right.

The whole process has been so much longer and more stressful for me than 10 years ago when we built first place! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 1777Oct 05, 2016 3:12 pm Update from SM via build advocate today, foam rescheduled to next Wednesday for top floor so pretty much nothing this week unless capping goes on top of bricks. ☹️ Next week 'sounds' promising, carpenters back to do lock up stuff and fix inspection issues to framework Tuesday, upstairs foam to start Wednesday, our alarm guy doing his wiring Thursday and then insulation Friday. No return of brickies yet to finish balcony piers off. They suck! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 1779Oct 05, 2016 3:40 pm Thanks bank, it's awful! I now know why people say they would never build again lol The brickies are just ridiculous! I don't know why they wouldn't just come to a build and stay there until that job was finished!!
