I thought I'd say hi cos we are also building at the grove although still waiting on our council approval at present so our house will be a long way behind yours! We've also just been told we have to double glaze our whole house to meet energy requirements despite upgrading insulation and a few other things to try to make it energy efficient when plans were drawn up, just wondering if anyone else whose built/ is building at the grove has experienced the same thing? Re: Metricon Mt Barker Build @ The Grove - PCI Tomorrow!! 342Apr 06, 2014 5:06 pm Thanks all we're stoked with the house SJ that's awesome are you in the new stage then? who are you building with? I'll have to look through our contract he had already upgraded our insulation & roof insulation and from memory only had to double glaze the front, back and one side of the house - I think there were a couple of windows that didn't need it It all flies by once all the approvals are received and the builder gets to site! Palm feel free to PM me if you have any questions, happy to help. Don't worry though we went through the same stage but once we got going it all goes away! Thanks Lucinda we're planning on moving once the floorings been installed which I'm hoping to book in with the installation crew tomorrow… (fingers crossed!!) the landscaping hopefully should be well and truly going too by then so the dog can stay in the yard Siteworks 8/11 Slabbed 19/11 Our Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65703 Re: Metricon Mt Barker Build @ The Grove - PCI Tomorrow!! 343Apr 06, 2014 5:40 pm We are in same stage as you, stage 3 lot 12 we've had our block a while but had to change builder so everything has taken forever. We are building with aps homes so fingers crossed we get council approval soon, can't wait to move to mount barker.

Everything looks lovely. Re: Metricon Mt Barker Build @ The Grove - Finally Ours 358Apr 16, 2014 7:08 am How do you find the technika oven/stove so far?? I'm thinking of upgrading it as soon as we have money Re: Metricon Mt Barker Build @ The Grove - Finally Ours 359Apr 16, 2014 10:25 am Thanks everyone we are in love with our home The flooring is kendall grant wallnut laminate it's awesome and meant to be pretty hard wearing M just put the skirtings in and the flooring contractors have colour matched beading that goes around the floors so that you can't see any gaps and floorboards still have breathing room You can try arrange with the chippy to tack them on and come back after you've had the flooring fitted and then get the painter back too to touch up but just seemed like a lot of extra organising to avoid a bit of beading and obviously they both want a bit more money for doing it but if that's what you're after it is possible with some sweet talking! I haven't used the oven/cooktop yet I tried to cook us and Yoda a dinner the other night and we realised M had forgotten to install a power point behind the oven.... hahaha it's all fixed now but the oven looks great I'm really happy that we upgraded it and is pretty sturdy too Floorboards are pretty much finished now, (they were 2 packs short so coming back friday to finish) and all the carpets are installed got our fridge and bed, couch is being delivered tomorrow and just need to install our dishwasher!

Glad it's all sorted now Simonds have the Technika oven in their selections as well, the standard one kind of looks the same but doesnt have that digital clock/display thing and the oven door is hot to the touch apparently, so we upgraded as well. Hopefully it'll do the trick... I'm not a massive cook, I do like it - but it's by no means going to be used heavily. Woo Hoo! When do you move in?
