Our ground floor windows are in, roof sheeting and guttering finished on the top storey, our garage has roof trusses, and we also have our piping and drainage completed throughout. The 2400 high windows look great. Our kitchen glass splash back has had the glazing installed the wrong way around, so they are fixing that issue. Our SS says that they will be starting bricking from Wednesday, so fingers crossed. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/dining%20windows_zpsf6gtsyvc.jpg 2400 high windows, very happy http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/fishtank%20cutout_zpsd6djpvl4.jpg Fishtank cutout underneath staircase facing the kitchen and lounge area. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/upstairs%20plumbing_zpsuwhl8ask.jpg A view of the upstairs piping and drainage. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/hallway%20garage%20entrance_zps8mcsvzq7.jpg Entrance into the garage from hallway.

Re: Building the Metricon Glendale 38 - Blackwood park Adela 11Mar 27, 2017 11:07 am Bricking has started!

Our SS is stating that the hold up is the back doors that need to be installed before the bricking can be finished. They were meant to be installed a month ago, so my aprtenr and I are disapointed in the communication and lack of progress, especially coming up to the wet weather. The front bricking is almost completed and the sides appear to be ready for the cladding. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/bricking%20side%20finished_zpsen6stctg.jpg http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/front%20bricking%20pillars%202_zpsvrudvads.jpg http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/front%20bricking%20pillars_zps0yu9qutg.jpg Re: Building the Metricon Glendale 38 - Blackwood park Adela 13Apr 28, 2017 12:01 pm Bricking is all complete, other than the rear. Been let down a bit lately by Metricon and our SS. Lack of communication and the rear doors still aren't delivered nor installed. They are now 4 weeks late and our move in date is getting further and further set back. Cladding should start early next week. Hopefully have some more progress.
