This is our second home we have built in the last 5 years and I am pretty certain our last! The first home we built with Mtcn (Mondo 29 which they no longer build, i beleive is the same as the Soho), who we were extremely happy with. This one with Carlisle Homes. We needed more space, and with the Metro 51 which is now 53 with a few extras we added, we sure got plent of that!!! We are hoping we have built the perfect house this time after learning what was wrong with the first house. Please feel free to take a look at my blog via the attached link and join us on our journey! Re: Our Castle - Building the Metro 51 by Carlisle Homes 2Jun 26, 2010 2:49 pm ok so It looks like we might get the slab laid this week if the weather holds off like it is supposed to. Fingers crossed!
ok had update that it will be thursday provided it does not rain and the chippies will start early next week, yay!!!!!!! http://ourcastle2010.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Castle - Building the Metro 51 - RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!! 3Jun 26, 2010 2:53 pm Well we have been trying to get our slab down for over 2 weeks now, and it just keeps raining. Every time the ground just dries out enough to lay it, down comes the rain!!! However the builders were supposed to be there this wed thursday (which were lovely sunny days) and they were a no show!!! So NOT HAPPY JAN!
