Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 04, 2008 9:06 pm After a long absence we're back and proud to say it's finally nearing completion - 2-3 weeks max. Here are some pics we took tonight - hope you enjoy. Building for the 1st time with M3tricon Site Start was 19th July 07. It's been 2 weeks to Handover for the past 8 weeks. Go figure. Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 3Mar 04, 2008 9:15 pm ricci, wow, it's looks great, i love the bulkheads, and the alcoves/cutouts on the wall....
Very very nice!!! What floor coverings are you going to have in the kitchen/family areas??? Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 5Mar 04, 2008 9:21 pm Hi Ricci, it just looks fantastic! I can just imagine how excited you all must be
What colours are your walls, it looks white but I cant tell from the images posted. We are also having the cut out wall things so I would be interested to know your ideas for how you will use them. Mrs B Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 6Mar 04, 2008 9:25 pm very nice
Like the double shower and are your benchtops C/S? Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 7Mar 04, 2008 9:29 pm Hi Ricci
So very nice to see you back and nearing completion. The photo's look fantastic. I love the size of your shower. How have the last couple of months been with M . How many days x$15 will they owe you in the end. Look forward to finished pics.

Great to see you are back and almost fininshed! House is looking great! Ray. Second Time 'Round Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 10Mar 04, 2008 9:49 pm HI to all and a big thanks for all the kind comments - its been great to be able to share the highs and lows of it all with you and finally show you all some pics of the (nearly) completed product.
The walls are in Dawn Cloud which is white with a very slight tint of pink in it. The pink tends to show in the sunlight. For the kitchen, family, study, entry and hallways we are having planks in wenge - a dark chocolate brown timber. The bedrooms and the formal living area marked out by the central bulkhead will be in a light mauve coloured carpet. We decided on the cutouts to bring in some dimension and to provide a nice spot for some favourite pieces. Building for the 1st time with M3tricon Site Start was 19th July 07.

The past few months with the Big M haven't been any easier although our supervisor has been excellent and been doing a lot to keep us happy along the way. It pays to make yourself heard if things aren't going well. The contract completion date was supposed to be 14 Jan 08 - so thats a few $15 days they owe us. There are still heaps of defects they need to fix up - so we ain't intending to part with the last payment until those are done. Building for the 1st time with M3tricon Site Start was 19th July 07.

I have to ask - what sort of door are you having on your pantry? Just a regular internal door? After 4 years - we're in! Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 14Mar 05, 2008 7:15 am Your house is looking awesome Ricci. Won't be long now.
Please post photos when your floors are in, we are thinking dark wood as well and would love to see a house with it. Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 15Mar 05, 2008 7:45 am Just wondering after looking at the photos again, did you ask not to have a kickboard in front of the upright cooker? Our cooker isn't istalled yet but the kickboard runs right along the front in ours so I assume it will hide the legs and make it look more built-in. Maybe they do things differently up there.
Ray. Second Time 'Round Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 16Mar 05, 2008 8:05 am Looks fantastic!! You must be so excited! Love the bulkheads and the entry door, and the shower, everything is perfect!
Can I ask a question.. the overhead cabinet that has the microwave in it, is it deeper than a regular overhead cabinet, deeper than the one on the other side? Re: WE'RE BACK!!! Latest Pics... 18Mar 05, 2008 10:33 am Hi,
Yeah the internal pantry door is just going to be a standard door and as far as kickboard for the cooker is concerned, i had never even thought about that - doesn't look like they are going to put one on in our case but it might be worth asking. The overhead cabinets are both the same depth - i think it must be just an illusion making the microwave space look deeper. We didn't specify them to be any deeper than standard.
