It cost $5k extra for underground tanks (using concrete). @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)! 4525Mar 10, 2017 9:32 pm Here Orph, they are called ramps. Simply angles to go under carpet to create a slope from carpet up to the tiles so you don't kick your toes.

We also asked them to change the colour of the front door from Jarrah to Charcoal.

That door looks amazing!! Was there any issue with them doing different colour? Did you just pay them on the side? Could they just stain straight over the top? Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4533Mar 11, 2017 8:00 pm kylz4 Yay for Saturday work! That door looks amazing!! Was there any issue with them doing different colour? Did you just pay them on the side? Could they just stain straight over the top? We asked our SM if we can change colour of doors and the beams and he was happy to tell the painters to change since the colours were already part of colour selection. If it wasn't in our colour selection then chances will be slim. @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)! 4534Mar 11, 2017 8:12 pm Hurray for weekend work!!
