Browse Forums Building A New House Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 181May 18, 2015 10:41 pm Hi RichardandShez, been followed your progress quietly. Your work shop has been sound proof, did they use fire rated gyprock? Not sound check gyprock? Did you Checked to found out that the fire rated was better then sound check? Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 182May 19, 2015 7:08 am Yes the room ended up being lined by 2 thicknesses of 16mm firecheck on each side. The firecheck does have a higher sound rating than sound check. Even the sound engineer had a note in his quote fire check could be used as an alternative. Just be aware this room is not sound proof in the true sense, like a recording studio for instance, it is sound rated meaning it can cut out 95db of high frequency noise, eg: a router so that it can hardly be heard outside. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 183May 19, 2015 5:22 pm Thanks, I've heard the same that fire check was thicker. We want to use the same for the theatre room at home, but also want the same produced for the walls in a clinic we are setting up. Thanks for this info. FINALLY lodge my plans to COUNCIL! yippy! now the wait! poops...

That's the gym room. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 187May 21, 2015 8:40 am We are so stoked the way it has come out. So very happy!!! Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 188May 21, 2015 10:39 am Love the driveway! Do you remember which aggregate colour you chose? is it the middle/mixed one of the 3 included options? I have been meaning to ask also how big your solar panel install is? 3kW? We are trying to decide what size to go with.

But it was one of the options that didn't cost extra. We have 12 panels, and think it's 3kw....can't remember, possibly is 5kw. Metricon sorted that out for us. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 191May 22, 2015 2:42 pm Ducked up at lunchtime.....of course locked up...but the tiling has been done. Can even see the nice tiles in our back patio. The doorways have been done and finished. I even have a good shot showing the shower! No more having this horrible step up and kicking your toes on the shower!!!! I'm loving the colours and the tiles look fantastic in the house..well we think so anyway so enjoy! Just now waiting for that PC date!!! Just ringing a few removalists to get an idea what the costs will be there so all starting to get exciting! Thank goodness for a great SLR that takes shots like this through the windows.

Looking fab as always guys. Can't believe your just waiting on pc now . Have a look at shanniidc's thread they are building north of brissy but own a removals' business. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 193May 22, 2015 4:31 pm Ahhh really....cool thanks Tribe7. Yeah we are really happy with the tiles. Shame they have left the lights on on the back porch. Not sure if any inside have been left on though. Luckily we have a fantastic back neighbour who looks out for us....and behind our fence is an electric one too hee hee. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 194May 23, 2015 10:06 pm No worries . Tiles are fab, will the carpet go in next week? Bugger about the light being left on. Great news your neighbour is friendly, between your German alarm system and electric fence your sorted. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 195May 24, 2015 11:53 am Um.....don't remember when the carpet is going in. I know there are still a few little things to be completed but doubt take that long. Hee hee yeah she's a lovely lady behind us. Going to get new dog signs as the ones we have are getting a bit old now and not as bold anymore. She knows something is happening as this current rental has boxes everywhere down the thinner hallway, plus our old lounge. We're going to get a skip in the week we move. Too bad if someone walked into our yard, the dog comes out so they jump the back fence and then zzzzzzzzzzzap! hee hee! There will be cattle back there once all homes have been completed she was saying anyway. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 196May 24, 2015 2:33 pm Carpet would be soon for sure, it's amazing that you only have a few weeks max and your done . Good idea about the dog sign best to have it clearly on display, bahahahha oh there butts will be toast if they jump the fence. That's good there will be cattle behind you, nice and peaceful. Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 197May 26, 2015 8:52 pm Hey RichandShez - did you figure out what is going on here: I saw this on another user's blog, and it looks as though there is some kind of outdoor "cornice" type thing that will cover that gap?

They have to come back and fix it (hopefully before our inspection Tuesday week). Anyway before we had a work conference this morning we went up and visited the house and the carpets are in!!!! Woohoo....looks really good now. Still a few things that need doing but as usual took some shots from outside the house looking in. We also noticed some lights are still on inside too. We're going back Sunday and hope to see the other fence in, if not it'll be Monday it gets done...we were told today or Monday so that's exciting...Anyway enjoy: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: We're Building a Metricon Barkly 29 200Jun 01, 2015 9:07 am Wow - looks like a real home now, especially with the car in the driveway!
