Not happening been asked to make darbecca inspection for tues or Wednesday after now Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2564May 10, 2017 8:02 pm Rendering started to alfresco today! Hope it comes up looking good and not weird having bricks everywhere else!! 🤞 I think it should be ok. Carpet guys due back tomorrow to replace carpet in master and in little area near bathroom and toilet where it's been cut too short. They've been back 3 times to try and stretch it and make it fit but no luck and m have told them it needs to just be replaced!! Not sure what is happening with stairs yet!? Told them almost a week ago about it and they said they'd check colour schedule and get back to us. I checked colour schedule in less than 5 minutes, not sure what's taking them so long!! After looking at Vista's jarrah stairs before he stained over them they look similar to that! They are supposed to be just a bit darker than clear with no red tone in them!!! Can't believe I didn't check our selection when they were first stained but it was around when Dad passed away so my brain hasn't been functioning properly since! And in other crap our fence guy got our side fence posts in Tuesday last week and hasn't been back to do the rest - he's off to USA tomorrow for 2.5 weeks and was supposed to be doing our side gate too!!! Don't know where the dog is going to go if we move in next weekend!!! He told me it would get done before he went away Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2565May 10, 2017 8:07 pm Will be painted champignon colour as per our facade piers Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Stair stain, definitely not old Baltic!!??

There is a mark on narrow one and can still see a bit of the cover up in person so they will be doing another coat over them Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2566May 10, 2017 8:14 pm Everything looks fantastic!

Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2569May 10, 2017 8:42 pm kylz4 Should I get those beams in the alfresco painted to match the render?? Your house looks so gorgeous Kylz What are you planning to do with your alfresco?? Decking or tiles and what colours may help with your choices For the carpet would've been so much quicker just replacing them Are you keeping that stain on stairs Kylz? Seems like a totally different colour to what you originally picked? I'm not saying it doesn't look good, it looks different Oh and I accidentally pushed a thanks on your darbecca being postponed Sucks about your fencer ours can't finish until my neighbours scaffolding comes down, so hopefully soon 🤞🤞 Fencers are fully booked out our side Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2570May 10, 2017 9:17 pm Render out the back looks great Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2571May 10, 2017 9:29 pm Thanks so much dulie, Coralake and Emmz!! Emmz, alfresco will be decked and thinking dark stain like black Japan or something? Re carpet, yes, you'd think so! D0dgy though, lets try and MAKE it fit GGRRRRR Stain on stairs - look it looks great, but it is not a look that goes with what we envisioned at all! Not a fan of reddish toned stains for inside. Have that on the front door and it looks ok but thinking if we are going to get them to restain darker that the front door should be done too so it matches better!! Not sure if they will come to the party though. They SHOULD after all they have put us through!! Maybe the fencer guy has his staff coming back to do it? They better do a good job if they do!! Hope your neighbours scaff comes down soon, at least you have majority of it though I guess. Have you had any hint of PCI date yet?

It's so good to have the fence up that's for sure i'm sure he's assigned people to the job They should let you have any stain you choose no questions asked No word yet Kylz. Our carpets caused a slight delay so hopefully they're able to start soon. I see our SM is managing to get all our touch ups completed while we wait. Some things I overlooked like our tile skirting, our SM noticed our plans said timber so he rang and asked if we'd like it tiled so i definitely didn't turn a freebie down lol Even though carpets is our last big task at least he's getting the little things done I'm happy for him to go ahead and do our driveway early (I wish) Hoping to hear a date soon Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2573May 10, 2017 10:26 pm The render is going to look great! I think the beam colour will work either way. All your colours are very complimentary. I assume it's currently the same as up top?
Stain definitely looks too red in the wider shots. Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2574May 10, 2017 10:40 pm Thanks JLH222 and bank! Emmz, that's great that your SM is getting little jobs sorted while you wait!!! Is tile skirting an upgrade for you guys? It was standard for us!? Great that you are going to get it anyway Our driveway was done back at the beginning of March so has WELL AND TRULY settled!! LOL. Hope your carpet gets done asap and deck and driveway and you are good to go bank, yes the beams are currently vanilla quake as per first floor render colour. I went to a display the other day that had the alfresco rendered and the beams were same colour so it just had me thinking. Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2575May 11, 2017 8:27 am Good to see they're still moving it along kylz! That stain for the stairs definitely looks different to your sample Should be an easy fix though. Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2576May 11, 2017 8:03 pm Hope they let you change your stain Kylz. Our people were quite good on my last minute changes with our stain. It doesn't take them long to change it and it would definitely be a win for you getting them to do it free of charge Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2577May 11, 2017 8:56 pm Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2578May 11, 2017 9:19 pm That would've been the perfect stain Kylz in your pic but yes it definitely looks very red especially against your carpet. Hope they just get it changed!!! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2579May 12, 2017 7:00 pm That stain looks completely different in that picture. I see what you mean. Maybe they labelled the sample incorrectly because it's definitely not the same in my eyes!
