Finally! A month after I moved in, I received my welcome package! Although the soap was leaking. lol Was hoping to get that salt and pepper set though. :( https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/83417_1592348775.jpg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/83417_1592348794.jpg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/83417_159...

🤣. Well ours did leak and ruin arcs, skirts, grout, plaster and carpet... but it was because of a d-head plumber - it wasn’t to do with the internal cistern. I am sure yours will be fine!!!

House design looks really great and the build progress is looking good as well. In regards to the in wall cistern, is there a serviceable entry point in case plumber needs to replace a part in the future inside it? I have no idea! Maybe I should have checked? All bathrooms are fully tiled to ceilin...

I have been very very slack, my apologies. Thankfully our builder hasn't, still progressing well. :wink: Roof is on - Colourbond Monument.. All windows are in EXCEPT for the custom breezeway window in dining room. And, she's wrapped up snug. Ready for Hebel panels, which arrived today. A few pesky ...

looking great - make sure that you inspect the brickwork before the brickies leave - the Moonshadow is a film face brick - i.e. it is a painted finish. If they've chipped them while laying them, they have to be fixed with touch-up paint or replaced, and it's heaps easier to get them replaced while ...

I definitely recommend an independent inspector for all stages of the build. That will take any stress out of if for you. They will pick up on anything that is of concern.

Hi Shokel, thanks for your response. We are building Glendale with Metricon. Would you have some tips for us on items relating to the structural integrity of the home. Any Do's and Don't will also be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. How far along are you and where are you building? There is nothin...

Hi Shokel, would like to understand if the Mirror that you have put in your Powder room is the one that Metricon supplied or did you get it changed to suit your requirements. Thanks. Hi @articulate, We changed the size of all our mirrors to be the same as Metricon’s display home of the Glendale 42 ...
