And delivery to QLD is $200 which is not too bad. Only downside is we don't get to try the furniture before buying Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 490Feb 14, 2017 7:06 pm hehehee, that's right?

We've already received an email from M today talking about arranging a walk through. I noticed some irregular brickwork on the corner of our alfresco, with different sizes and some of them laid crooked. Some parts of the bricks were also overhanging the slab. Can someone tell me what's the maximum it can overhang? Pretty sure some bricks were sticking out as much as 2cm.

Couldn't really get a clear view of the colour since it was really dark, but it's suppose to be a dark beige.

Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 494Feb 18, 2017 8:40 am So our SM is confident our approximate handover date is accurate. Our walk through appointment will be this Tuesday 21st. Does anyone have a checklist on what I should be looking out for? Hopefully we wouldn't find too many issues with the house. In other news we'll be getting our driveway poured hopefully mid March.. concreters seem really busy. They're the same guys who poured our slab for M last time and their quote turned out to be the cheaper one of the two we compared. Concreting is costing us about $11k and our crimsafe and blinds are also quoted at that figure we're going to be eating dust until the sale of our current home. Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 495Feb 19, 2017 5:34 pm So super efficient up here Metricon QLD! Might have to hit you up for the concretes details when I get a bit closer to the end.

I would have stayed a bit longer if hubby didn't have to rush to work. So many things to look out for and our house is filled with pieces of blue tape by the end of it. House needs another round of cleaning before handover, which is now fixed for the 9/03. Overall we're quite happy with everything. Most problems were paintwork that needed touching up, some loose toilet seats, kitchen splashback that had some irregular tiles which will be redone. Our stove hasn't gone in yet, they're leaving it till the end in case someone comes in to steal the appliance. Apparently they're also leaving the final coat on stairs until the last minute. Didn't really have the time to take many photos but got a few quick ones here and there Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Keen to hear from people in the area who have got KDRB done on whom they got the build from?
