When is it all getting done properly? Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 5302Oct 14, 2017 6:55 am Thanks kylz! In a few weeks I hope. I'm ordering some waterproof electrical enclosures (the meter box enclosures we bought initially was too big and ugly looking) and extra lights for our sparkies to install all at once. Planning on doing some accent indoor LED strip lights as well..... Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 5304Oct 16, 2017 7:02 am cat_dunc Hey orph can you share what waterproof enclosures you get please? I tried the meter box style enclosures but they were too deep (270mm) so looks bulky and sticks out like a sore thumb. These are finished with galvanised steel so needs to be painted as wrll.

We do have a recurring issue with the tracks for the wardrobes making crackling noises when we open or close the wardrobe doors. The wardrobe company M uses claim the tracks are supplied by M and are of inferior quality to the ones they normally use. Is anyone in NSW having this same issue? Note: Don't get mesmerised by the shiny new look of the product, it's bad quality and noisy...

I wish there was a final payment that they can get only after 3mths after they fixed everything. That way they will make sure to fix it all. That’s terrible about the tracks. What are you too do now? Does Metricon have their own warranty on it? Tell them you want them replaced. That’s not good enough. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 5307Nov 02, 2017 12:22 pm Doulton777 Gee it’s taken them 6mths.

Significant structure above the window in this picture that's hidden with a thicker ceiling cavity and more intricate detailing. See they've even dropped the ceiling to hide the door frame. They'd have excess space in their ceiling to do this which costs a lot more. Not standard design, and the employee's bulk builders employ might not know how to detail/draw it, nor follow through with building it. Also see the actual door itself. That's a special and high end product which I doubt M wouldn't have heard of I do hope though that you build a new house with one of these and share it with us in a new thread Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 5310Nov 03, 2017 8:47 pm cat_dunc Ooh. very very nice.
