Re: Building with Metricon 7863Sep 19, 2018 8:25 am Kimmykim Drew01 Kimmykim Thanks Sweetswisssteel! Will check with the fridge retailer I doubt you fridge retailer will want to be doing any plumbing in your house. Depending on where you're fridge niche is, it may be impossible to add water if you're 2 storey. If you're building a single storey, any plumber can do it if they can access cold water in the roof space Ours is double storey. Our fridge niche is behind our powder room. It could probably be plumbed off the powder room; a friend did something similar for their kitchen reno. Re: Building with Metricon 7865Sep 19, 2018 8:47 am Kimmykim Thanks Blackcat!

I know in a Glendale it would be a challenge The winchester has the powder room right behind the fridge cavity so its pretty easily done I reckon.

Re: Building with Metricon 7873Sep 21, 2018 5:48 pm Just got an email from our SM that Home Presentation to be set on 4th or 5th October. House will be ready without driveway and appliances. The reason that our SM has given is minimise the amount of trades using the driveway. I know it's common to have appliances installed after home presentation but I haven't heard about driveway. Also we are getting a private home inspection on that day itself for pre handover inspection, I am puzzled how that can be done. Anyone experience that? Can we oppose to that? Re: Building with Metricon 7874Sep 21, 2018 6:19 pm How have people found their site clean with M? I'm really disappointed that they've spread really dirty fill across what was really good soil. I'm hesitant to accept it as it is given we don't know how safe it is. It's full of concrete, brick bits, nails and fibrous chunks.

I will check with my SM. Also does anyone know the order as we had electrical defects, wrong stacker door installed.and some other minor things to be fixed...etc... I want to know how long generally after customer presentation is handover and what do people accept to be done post handover....I do not want handover till everything is completed. Any thoughts ? Also we don't have gas services connected yet. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building with Metricon 7878Sep 22, 2018 8:02 am blackcat20 Macher blackcat20 How have people found their site clean with M?
