Hmm, still looking for a nice piece of land. Pretty sure the house will cost more than the land @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4004Jan 20, 2017 8:32 pm Nice view of the harbour (if you're in Sydney) would be nice.

Our skip bin is overflowing with someone's spring cleaning though (it was empty on the 23/12)!!! Our SM was back on Monday, I've tried to call and left messages, with no return. Our CSC no longer works at M, would've been nice to know that she quit at the start of December - makes sense that I still haven't received replies to my emails. Someone else has taken over and is yet to at least introduce themselves. Tiling, painting are the majority of things that need to be done. Outside still needs a coat of paint. We are starting to get abused by furniture stores as they've tried to deliver our stuff but we keep dodging their calls oops! We had to cancel our concretors and landscapers and both respectively are now no longer available until March/April respectively. I hate sounding like a whinger, totally not in my nature, but I am so unhappy with the progress, seeing that they should've been done at the end of November. /quote] Hi Phoenix! We sympathise with you. We should have been done end of October and yes, still going. Handover Feb/March! If you are in Syd, please forward details for concretors & landscape thanks! Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4006Jan 22, 2017 9:18 am Hi Mink, We have our landscapers and concretors coming from the central coast. If you're still interested, I can forward their details to you. (They were cheaper to travel to us, than getting tradies from Sydney). lol!

Hi Phoenix, do they do driveways, retaining walls and fencing? Thx Metricon Liberty 45, Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Hi Q, I'm not sure if they do retaining walls - But you could ask them, we are lucky enough to not need them this time round ? Will share the details in a moment, I just have to get the landscapers phone number (in hubby's phone & he's at work). Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4010Jan 23, 2017 6:55 am Q & Mink. Brendon 0403853882 Synergy landscapes. Worth getting a price from him, then someone else. Really nice guy. Our concretors are doing a favour for my dad (sound like the mafia) - so I'm unsure whether they'd take any work on in Sydney...but I'll ask today. I found that if you got seperate trades (re driveway & landscapers for gardening etc) the price worked out cheaper, rather than get one trade to do the lot (which effectively is easier). Also, have an idea of exactly what you want - we have a family friend that is from Newcastle who is a landscape architect, and helped us along the way with selecting plants that don't require much maintenance and gave us ideas for the paths and decking. Good luck! Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4011Jan 23, 2017 11:54 am Phoenix37 Q & Mink. Brendon 0403853882 Synergy landscapes. Worth getting a price from him, then someone else.
