(The silver colored edge to it). I thought was supposed to be something that covers the 2 edges where the tiles meet. This is what we got, and the 2nd pic is what I thought was standard.

Had a leak through balcony into porch so all the plaster was ripped down and re done. Still not happy with stairs stain so have escalated that to higher management. Have some decent cracks on one of our rendered piers, other one has a small one.

Everything else on our maintenance list is quite minor I think. All in all we are still loving the house Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2706Oct 13, 2017 5:46 pm Looking good! Except the cracks of course.

Your thread has disappeared from my follows so will have to re add it! I used Western Myall for fence but found out later that you have to go black to get the real dark charcoal look. If I can be bothered going over it I will re do it haha Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2711Oct 13, 2017 6:59 pm It's looking amazing!!! You're putting me to shame- I still only have turf 10 months on and some plants still in the plastic temporary pots that have rooted through he bottom into the ground!! Loving the steps too!

Well done! Did you spray the fence or use a brush to paint it? Did it use much paint? Also what colour was it please? Can you please take a closer picture of your edging? What size timber for the supports and edge and distances did you use for the supports please?

I sprayed the fence with $99 Dulux machine and I've got a 10 litre tin that goes with it tinted in Western Myall. In hindsight I would have gone with a black to make it darker but it still looks good, just throws a little bit of blue off. The sleepers are 35mm thick and the uprights centre to centre are about 2m.

I thought they were all treated. That sucks Definitely go the spray gun! I did back fence and half of both sides in about 1.5hrs, a friend shared a photo of doing it by hand and had only done a tiny section in half hour!
