I just find it blah, not wow amazing. But hopefully with a little decorationg it will not be so plain. And maybe once the appliances are in also. I think we just think it does not match the rest of our colour scheme also. Yes the carpet **** me thats for sure. went past today and still has had not had a clean. They have 6 days til PCI so hoping they are not going to present it to us like that or we will walk out. Hope your house is coming along well, keeping a close eye on your progress Re: Our Castle- Metro 51-Dirty carpet and splashback pics Pa 134Dec 02, 2010 10:37 am WELL IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS UP HERE.... I AM SURE NO ONE IS THAT SILLY TO PRESENT IT TO YOU LIKE THAT. AND IT WILL BE SORTED. BE PREPARED THOUGH I AM SURE THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND JUST CLEAN IT FOR YOU... MAKE SURE YOU RE 100% HAPPY WITH WHAT THE FINISH PRODUCT IS LIKE. I BELIEVE YOU WILL NEED TO FORGET THAT IT IS YOUR HOUSE FOR THE FIRST LOOK AT PCI... GO AROUND IT LIKE IT IS A PRODUCT BEING ASSESSED FOR QUALITY CONTROL... THEN GO BACK AROUND AND LOOK AT ALL THE COLORS AND SELECTIONS YOU MADE. I HAVE READ ON THIS SITE TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE BY FAR TOO EXCITED JUST TO GET IN AND THE BUILDERS PREY ON THIS... AT SOME POINT SOMEONE HAS TO LOOK AT THE STRUCTUAL INTEGRITY OF THE HOME AND NO ONE WILL BE AS DILIGENT AS YOU... SO READ UP ON COMMON FAULTS, MAKE A LIST AND GET TO WORK AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THE "BLOCK" (JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE HOUSE ITSELF). I AM THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO BANK YOU BEING HAPPY AND FUZZY CAUSE THE CARPET HAS BEEN SORTED. DONT FALL FOR IT. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE YOUR JOB THEN BE HAPPY WARM AND FUZZY:) WISH I WAS THERE TO BE AS WELL ps sorry for the caps forgot they were on and .. cant type it again ..... pss i keep coming to your thread to look at the s/back and i am honest when i judge something and i have to say.... the more i see it the more i love it i mean that! psss if you decide to sell it will cater for a bigger market being the color it is... https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=37134 THE THREAD https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35962 THE BLOG! http://pedrosinspiredbeauty.blogspot.com/ BRICKS BRICKS ARE FINISHED...

They have had a whole week to clean it but nothing. Hoping the cleaners are going to get busy this weekend. we will not be handing over any money til this whole thing is sorted, don't worry, plus numerous other issues including chiped stone benches they have tried to fill. MMMM lets see what Monday brings! Re: Our Castle- Metro 51- HANDOVER IN 7 DAYS 136Dec 06, 2010 3:05 pm We had or PCI today and had a list of approx 30 things to fix, none to major apart from the replacement of the carpet to the theatre room, as the paint did not come out and the replacement of the stone bench on the island due to 2 chips! The other rooms have cleaned up pretty well. Only one or two paint touch ups which was great. Just minor things really, as we have kept such a close eye on it all the whole way through and made sure all defects were fixed along the way, so all and all pretty good....So the exciting news is HANDOVER NEXT MONDAY 13th!!! (my sons 2nd birthday!) So much to organise, blinds, phone conection, bins ordered, furniture delivery AND A BIRTHDAY CAKE! OMG tired just thinking about it!
