You sound like you're really enjoying the place Eager. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Now all I have to do is either buy a new TV stand, or build or buy new main speaker stands (these ones are a bit temporary!). The breakfast bar stools as speaker stands look - I love it! You might start a new trend here, Eager 
Yes, my son's room has a window which faces East too - but, hey, he's got to wake up somehow
(seriously, it hasn't stopped him sleeping all morning on weekends yet) Re: Our M3tric0n story 204Nov 13, 2008 11:02 am Eager, looking great - I can see how you love the deck outside, we are just coming into great weather to use it as well.
Mmm I think I'll have to get some of those speaker stands - they look very contemporary Paula Re: Our M3tric0n story 205Nov 22, 2008 5:14 pm Things are still happening around here, but at a slower pace than it once was. It's too easy to enjoy living here I think, but we'll finish it all one day.
Shelves are starting to go up in the shed, DS has taken this job on with pride and has basically barred me from helping him (I don't know why, I always though I was pretty handy, why even just the other day when I was trying to be funny he called me a tool!  ). The unit you see here will go in the corner so he can store his nitro trucks on them. Shelves for storage will run across the back of the shed and a workbench will come around the corner under the window.

The triangle of dirt next to the driveway will be a garden one day.

Nice new outdoor setting too. I can see why it's so easy to enjoy living there - that's what it's all about hey! Well done.Re: Our M3tric0n story 207Nov 29, 2008 5:06 pm Latest addition to the house has been the installation of some ceiling mounted speakers in the al fresco.
We bought them from a place in Hallam, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name them on the internet but their initials stand for Selby Accoustics. We were served by an affable young chap called Matthew. I'm a bit worried about him though, he drives a car that looks straight out of Scooby Doo.

I bet they sound fantastic...
Affable ... ??? Does that mean shifty
Thanks for coming in guys! It was really cool to meet you both and to 'discuss' the finer points of EAVES amongst other things. I hope they sound as good as they did in the shop and that the special homeone discount was worth the trip
As for the scooby van this will be the end product: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Lets not talk too much about the bright orange, little too high with no signwriting unit it is currently!

Speakers are great, thanks Matt. They obviously sound a bit different in an outdoor environment but they're certainly good enough! The discount paid for coffees in Berwick on the way home, with change to spare (petrol is already taken care of  ).
I loved the big eaves over the entry door to your showroom.... Re: Our M3tric0n story 211Nov 30, 2008 1:52 am  jolesOh how good would have the eaves conversation been? Almost as good as the conversation about other members! jolesWas anyone moderated? Banned? We had to moderate our laughter a bit! Re: Our M3tric0n story 212Nov 30, 2008 9:01 pm Eager,
I just caught up with this thread... Your house looks great from the street! I like all the colours! Very nice front landscaping too... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!  17 Nov 2008 893 Gold Member Re: Our M3tric0n story 217May 05, 2009 10:33 pm Hi Eager, what a lovely home you have. Just a question about your colorbong gates, were they very expensive?? Sorry to ask. It is just in the estate I am building in we have to have timber fencing and I was thinking of also having colorbond gates but was not sure how expensive they were or how they would look with timber, as everyone in the estate it seems has gone with a paling fence gate.. Cheers Re: Our M3tric0n story 218May 05, 2009 10:53 pm From memory, roughly about a grand, but that also included a small (1.8m) fence on the other side of the house. Apparently steel prices rose sharply soon after, but maybe they have fallen since? Just be aware that colourbond fences get pushed around by the wind a fair bit - I've reinforced mine by putting in an extra peg-in-the-ground thingy on the gate that originally didn't have one and I've also had to get the fence sections 're-adjusted'.
