Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 242Mar 28, 2017 10:17 pm dulie Q please tell me they have gotten started on your place by now!! Hi Dulie, unfortunately the rain hasn't helped. SM thinks we're about 2 weeks away from a slab. In the meantime, the other neighbour on the lower side of our site is complaining that the recent storms are flooding his place cause our land is sloped and there is no grass or stormwater system currently on our site to slow down the water flow Metricon Liberty 45, Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 243Mar 29, 2017 10:33 am Quirmeball1280 dulie Q please tell me they have gotten started on your place by now!!

In the meantime, the other neighbour on the lower side of our site is complaining that the recent storms are flooding his place cause our land is sloped and there is no grass or stormwater system currently on our site to slow down the water flow Stupid neighbors, so damn annoying! I had to deal with the same thing with my neighbors, but at the end of the day they really don't have any ground to actually do anything about it. Just have to keep assuring them it'll all be sorted once the house is built... Aside from that, hope you get to see some site action asap!! Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 244Apr 06, 2017 7:07 pm I think that building a house makes you appreciate even the smallest things After much rain in the last few weeks, I was so happy just to see those white blocks and steel grills onsite ready for the slab..

Can't wait to see your slab go down, it was probably the most significant thing i remember. First sign it's really happening!

Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 255Apr 16, 2017 11:09 am I heard that Metricon is doing plaster walls when there was no brick walls yet. Potentially the plaster gets wet when it rains heavily. Sometimes they are changing the plaster if they are into really bad condition. Is there a way we can avert this.

I haven't seen this around to be honest. Sounds like they are doubling on their workload.

They are already beginning to sound like a nightmare is this is true viewtopic.php?t=86597 Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 258Apr 16, 2017 12:54 pm After the frames, roof, and windows go up, Metricon will wrap the outer walls with sarking like material at the same time as electrical rough-in and plumbing. Once these are done, the bricking outside will start in parallel with plastering inside. Your plasters will be protected from rain by the wrap. My plastering took one day and bricking took 4 days. Plastered started on 3rd day so there was only one day of 1/5 bricking left when plaster went up. The plaster was protected by the wrap and didn't rain. If you are too concerned, talk to your SM.
