Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3161Sep 09, 2016 7:15 pm Hey Orph, when did work start onsite for you? Ours was 19 Jan for excavation, the rain station for us is Castle Cove in which there had been 25 rain days (up to 6th June 2016, which is last time our CSC checked) The contract completion date was Saturday 24 Sept 2016 based on those 25 rain days, but doubt that will be achieved now. Even with a couple more weeks rain days. Think we'll both be racing to the finish line around the same time. I'm planning on mid to end Oct.

Hi Vista, Demo was around mid Jan and site handed over to M on 4 Feb. I better ask my CSC how many rain days they have calculated. Our PCI is prob end of Oct now and handover I estimate end of Nov. I'm certain yours will finish before me as you had Hebel @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3163Sep 09, 2016 7:21 pm Maybe, but there's a bit of patch up work yet to be done on the Hebel and the build appears to have slowed down quite a bit. Will be interesting to see which weather station they use for you and how rain days compare. I've asked our CSC for an update.

We found that there's only 4 hinges for our main door. KP under the doors section it mentions the front door size and the number of hinges to support the door. I had a chat with our new SM and he did mention the front door frame is not aligned with the door or maybe the hinges so it could be that? I'm meeting with him onsite shortly to go through the current list of defects. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3171Sep 12, 2016 9:43 pm ------- Metricon Aria https://ourlittlearia.wordpress.com/ Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3172Sep 12, 2016 9:47 pm Yup mine is the same as Aria (thanks!) @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3173Sep 12, 2016 9:49 pm Haha np Orpheus ------- Metricon Aria https://ourlittlearia.wordpress.com/ Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3175Sep 12, 2016 9:57 pm Right, since your have the 1020mm door then I think the 4 hinges should be enough? My door is 1200mm so more heavier and hence 5 hinges is recommended? @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3176Sep 12, 2016 10:19 pm Orpheus In other news, I organised a birthday cake for my partner and in the spirit of our house building I got her the following cake Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 You're a big softy at heart hey!
