Re: Metricon Mantra 29 - Adelaide Hills 89Jan 17, 2017 9:58 pm The tiler was in for a short time yesterday. I noticed he had screed the shower areas in the ensuite and bathroom in preparation for a start, hopefully in the next few days. We have the main rooms to tile yet, the skirting board will go on shortly after completion. The stone bench tops need to be installed, sinks, splash back and appliances. The last thing is carpet which we have ordered through M. Re: Metricon Mantra 29 - Adelaide Hills 90Jan 18, 2017 7:51 am Those speakers will be great! I want to get some sort of outdoor speakers in my build for the outdoor room, good to know that M can do something decent. Do you have a photo inside the home hub? I am interested to see what this looks like. Being an IT guy I am fairly fussy about my cabling, and not sure that one of these home hubs will be what I am after, but never seen inside one. Re: Metricon Mantra 29 - Adelaide Hills 93Jan 19, 2017 9:19 pm We had our weekly call from the Site Supervisor today. He explained that the tilers would be starting today and I was welcome to drop by and speak with them. I did swing past the house as we are paying the same tiler to do our living rooms, kitchen and hallways. It was a good opportunity to chat about this. They explained that they would start with the main areas first then move onto the wet areas. I took a few pics while I was there.

Won't be long before you move in Re: Metricon Mantra 29 - Adelaide Hills 95Jan 21, 2017 3:47 pm Thanks for that... not exactly what I was expecting! When I get mine, I will be asking about something a bit bigger as I hoped to put my NBN and some other small equipment hidden in there, with power integrated inside the box.

I thought you were doing the living area tiling yourselves and not via M? They didnt have any issues with the tiler doing it before handover? I was told that the tiling would need to be done after handover if not doing it via M at their crazy marked up prices.

That picture is of the alarm system, not a network wiring hub etc. Ahhh, that makes sense! I just looked back at the first picture, there is the alarm panel at the top, and another box underneath. that box underneath must be where the data cabling will be going. My current home I have a 6 RU data cabling cabinet/rack mounted in my laundry with patch panels for all the house cat6 outlets and a rack mounted switch and firewall. I was hoping there was a nicer home hub thing that I could use that is less bulky and ugly . Re: Metricon Mantra 29 - Adelaide Hills 100Jan 31, 2017 8:41 pm I've been a bit slack with updates as I'm now back at work. Our SS confirmed a date for a walk through (20th Feb) with a 10 day turnaround to correct any faults. This means keys will be available on the 2nd March. Since the last update we have tiles throughout (just needing grout), plumber was in today to finish sinks, shower and toilet installs.
