Probably would've preferred brick on the back half but as always, theres a cost. They seem to love charging whichever way you change something, even if it's cheaper for them haha.

They try to make it standard so it's easier for them.

Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2506Apr 25, 2017 5:06 pm Ok so after a visit to house today whilst sm was there working through some of the issues we found an issue that is going to definitely delay handover....the garage roof/walls leaked in last nights heavy rain and 1/2 of the garage slab was wet! The replacement end panels for kitchen island were sitting at the back on soaking wet carboard with the raw mdf side on the wetness so they will possibly swell and be useless too!?!?

That's crap and I hope this gets escalated even further Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2508Apr 25, 2017 5:46 pm That sucks Kylz Hopefully it's an easy fix like a cracked roof tile. They'll definitely need to replace those boards though! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2509Apr 25, 2017 6:24 pm I suppose the rain was a blessing to show you the leaking? Hope they sort everything else out. Really shows you have to go over everything with a fine tooth comb and a magnifying glass.

That's crap and I hope this gets escalated even further I know! So glad it was found now rather than when our garage was full of our boxes etc though!!! Not sure where the leak is coming from as the tiles look ok from what we could see!? It was coming down extremely fast/heavy though, maybe the flashing on sides was filling up? Still not acceptable whatever the case!

The sm was saying the plaster just needs to dry out and then re do wet plaster and repaint but I want to question that higher up!!!!

Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2515Apr 25, 2017 8:51 pm The water on the ground looks to be near the rear roller door, but the water on the cieling is more around the PowerPoint for the garage opener which is in the centre (have I got that right?) could you have 2 sources of water as the water on the ground looks like it radiated from (or to) the roller door not dropped from the middle of the room. Hope that makes sense.

Hope that makes sense. That pic is a little deceiving, only the corner part is near the door. The way it looked in person I think it was coming in from all the way across the middle of the ceiling and there was another long water mark on the ceiling kind of heading towards that garage door too so I think it's all from up there. There was nothing running down walls, maybe just a few drops on top of the skirting boards in a few spots which I think would have come from dropping from the cornice. Hate to think how wet it is up there!!!

Still not acceptable whatever the case! Should cut myself on those nails and sue them lmao 🤣🤣🤣 Your right thank goodness you found it now. I try to visit when we get this bad weather to check for leaks and floods but didn't do it this time. House might be floating The nails were definitely not acceptable and hopefully it's just a minor issue with the leak. Fingers crossed your still scheduled for this week 🤞🤞 We've been noting down a lot of things worth mentioning to our SM when we do our next walk through. With house nearing completion gives us a chance to fully assess the work done. Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2519Apr 26, 2017 4:44 am Oh gosh kylz that's horrible! But as has already been said at least you know now and if there's any damage you have the final payment as leverage to make sure it's fixed in a timely manner. C U S T O M. C O R A L.
