Not sure what could be done about the brick part between the window now that its done, especially if its load bearing? Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 2729Jul 08, 2016 12:42 pm gandn How many courses of bricks is the front pillars now and how many are on the plan Orph? Not sure what could be done about the brick part between the window now that its done, especially if its load bearing? The brickies added another 2 courses of bricks so the total height now is now 1.1m. Our glass balustrade is 1m height so I 5hink the pillar is still too short (maybe 1 more course needed). I will have to go to the display home on sat to make some measurements. My plans show a square metal pole in the corner to support the load. @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)! 2730Jul 08, 2016 7:35 pm It's not good they are making such structural mistakes Orph. You may need to have a serious chat to your SM. I am not sure if you can replace brick with a small metal pole. How does it show in your facade elevation photos?

Are there bricks between the Windows viewtopic.php?t=78985 Hi Franky, facade and side elevation does not show any bricks. The top view diagram does show a metal pole (should be painted in white) which would integrate well with the windows? We have a site visit next Wednesday to do a walk through of the bricks so will ask him about the cupboards, corner window and balcony pillar.... @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)! 2732Jul 10, 2016 11:45 am This is what I was expecting for our corner window.

Best of luck if it's not too late to change it Then again hopefully they try to persuade you to keep it by offering a free deck or pergola Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 2734Jul 10, 2016 12:25 pm Emmz70 It's clear on your plan Orph does not show brick.

Balcony pillar is still too short so is missing 2 more brick courses 2. Any Chipped bricks for rest of house have to be replaced too 3.
