The mountain certainly would be a talking point for the neighbourhood. Soil looks pretty good someone might want it.

Lol lol you are so funny Gandn. Auto correct does do some interesting things viewtopic.php?t=78985 My kids told me yesterday, no offence mum but sometimes you act more like a kid than us! I take that as a compliment Hate autocorrect! I usually send a message, send a second one to correct the first and then a third cause I realised there was something else wrong with the first and/or second.....then I give up LOL. Must learn to read before sending! Saw a funny meme yesterday with a frog when your arguing via text. Will see if I can find it! Cracked me up! Re: Metricon Hudson KDR in Ryde - Landscaping 1669Nov 19, 2015 7:51 am Bet you're a fun mum and your kids think you're cool. I'm the same with my kids. My husband's even worse! Sometimes I think I have 4 kids the way he carries on. Btw any suggestions how we can get rid of leftover bricks from the build? I'm kicking myself for asking Metricon to keep them. I thought we had enough for the front fence but we are well short so we've now scrapped the idea of brick fence instead we have modular wall going up.

I gather you are not installing blinds? @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)!

We installed shutters to all windows except for the downstairs powder room and WC we opted for blinds with pelmet. We also have motorised blinds for the stairs. We are nearly there with the internal. Just need a bigger rug and cushions for the lounge and joinery for the home theatre. Phew! Re: Metricon Hudson KDR in Ryde - Landscaping 1677Nov 20, 2015 10:27 am Sheilzy Thanks Orph.

Happy days you got interest in your bricks straight away. Your sheers are lovely they give your home a beautiful luxe feel, well worth the wait. Re: Metricon Hudson KDR in Ryde - Landscaping 1679Nov 20, 2015 2:22 pm Oh wow, gorgeous. Is there a page you've listed in more detail about where you got all your window furnishings from and what types ect they are? I'm interested to know what curtain rail brand/type it is. Are there roller blinds behind the curtains? Where did you get them from please?
