Ok, an update. In June our SS decided he would retire without letting us know. Poor communication from Metricon. Our new SS seems to be on the ball and very fussy which is great. We have our staircasses in, walls gyprocked and flushed. Corness' on and architraves on. We also have our vanities in, ou...

Looking good. Any pics of that monster garage? Thanks Dulie. Unfortunately they're using the garage as a storage facility and the scaffolding is still up throughout. Once the scaffolding is down I'll get another pic for you :)

We've had some progress over the last week. Our cladding framing is finished, most of our eaves are completed and our cladding has begun. The tradies doing the cladding are doing an exceptional job with quality. All edges are perfectly cut, sanded and it looks great. A fortnight ago we finally had o...

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 we...

Bricking is taking a long time and progress has definately come to halt. 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 ...

So we have had a bit of progress in one week. 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 t...

We have a second storey with roof trusses! Starting to look like it should. Now waiting for the windows to be installed and also the trusses to be finished on the garage. Our SS has been great so far and has allowed us to build another bulkhead in the home theatre room and also make some modificatio...

Ground floor frames are finished. We now have the second storey flooring down. Looking forward to seeing what the garage roof height structure looks like. Our SS said the windows, second storey and roof trusses will be complete end of this week. Looking forward to it :) http://i1067.photobucket.com/...

Things are going up nicely now. Floor trusses are almost complete. Have a meeting with our SS Thursday to go over a few things. If things go to plan, second storey frames and roof trusses should be finished by end of this month :) http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/front%20frame%20tru...

More progress! It's not pretty, but at least the first fix frames have started to the ground floor. It's great to see the height of the 3.00m and the 2.7m ceilings throughout. Our 2400 high windows should give us the impact we are after, so fingers crossed it keeps going full steam ahead. We have no...

My gorgeous family and I are building with Metricon this year. We have had the land on hold since November 2015. We have had an interesting time to say the least with the sales area with Metricon. From promising the world, then not delivering. However most of the time they have either "thrown&q...
