Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 5641Jul 06, 2017 2:20 pm Hi All Has anyone build Glendale 41 with Como facade, if so could you please share some photos. I am considering it but as there is no display with Como facade its hard to imagine. I love the Isla facade but its over our budget hence thought Como was a good compromise as hoping the timber slats is a good feature. Thanks Re: Building with Metricon 5642Jul 06, 2017 7:01 pm Door stops - where should they be installed?? M have installed all of ours on the actual doors... shouldn't they be on the wall?

On carpeted areas, doorstops are on the skirting boards. On tiled areas (bathrooms, powder rooms etc) it's on the back of door. On timber entry doors, they are on the skirting boards.

Re: Building with Metricon 5647Jul 06, 2017 9:52 pm Renman JLH222 Just go to site and meet your framers....they are usually great guys that will just bang them in for you...no charge! we didn't pay for any of ours. Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 So when do they start doing the noggins that I have paid for already? I tried leaving work early to catch up with them onsite but they leave around 3:45-4:00. My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 viewtopic.php?t=86114 It should be done during framing stage if it's on your plans.

She hasn't been in contact with us at all expect the 10mins phone call that she took when I tried to call her a few times last week. Definitely not impressed with your lack of contact, will give her the benefit of the doubt till COB today. If this is what M calls their best then I am a little underwhelmed.

So far, we are thinking of 1. Concreting driveway and around the house 2. Paving for alfresco and entry to the house 3. Blinds 4. Electrical fittings - chandliers (not sure about it) 5. Alarm systems and intercom Thanks Sam Re: Building with Metricon 5652Jul 10, 2017 11:35 am Looking great qldben! At least if you're having spicy food you can turn on that fan to cool down! Sam I'm doing all those thing post handover as well. The only thing is with the alarm systems, I'm getting them to do the pre-wiring for the cameras. We are building a double storey so it would be near impossible to run the wires post handover. Re: Building with Metricon 5653Jul 10, 2017 1:56 pm elieassi1992 Looking great qldben! At least if you're having spicy food you can turn on that fan to cool down! Thanks elieassi1992. With Queensland summers, I'd need all the breeze i can gather from the fan. LOL!

Loving the render though I am hoping they neaten up the bottom edge of it! We found the same, very difficult to find photos. Here are some pics of rendered hebel with an undercoat, still have to apply 2 top coats of paint.
