We don't use the ice and water dispenser but I found out while browsing many French doors of 600-700l require plumbing. So our fridge options are pretty much limited now Re: Our Glendale 39 - Metricon (Blackwood Park, SA) 263Feb 15, 2017 9:53 pm beac_faith We don't have a fridge water tap kind of regret now. We don't use the ice and water dispenser but I found out while browsing many French doors of 600-700l require plumbing. So our fridge options are pretty much limited now We may not use the water tap, just have it there in case we need it in the future. You can add one later if you really need it but many fridges allow you to pour water in to make ice. ?

Can't wait to see the stairs and cabinetry These processes shouldn't take longer than external, right? Definitely shouldn't but you never know lol. Took us 7 months to get from site cut to plastering. In 1 month they have basically plastered (2 days of work before Christmas shutdown), stairs, kitchen/vanities, bathroom screening and waterproofing, painted and tiling has just finished. They are really pushing to get us finished though so may take longer than that normally. They are doing plumbing, electrical fit offs and cleaning in the next week and hoping for PCI by end feb/start march!!!

I swear the guys who did mine did such a rushed messy job =( Re: Our Glendale 39 - Metricon (Blackwood Park, SA) 272Feb 24, 2017 12:03 am dulie Wow your insulation looks so well packed! I swear the guys who did mine did such a rushed messy job =( That's why ours is building very slowlyyy, do you inspect if they really put in insulations before wall boards on? Coz we spotted some areas are meant to have insulations but we couldn't see them in today, wall boards are now being delivered...hope they don't forget the insulations before putting up the plasterboard.

Thank you Beac, how's your house going, haven't seen any updates for a short while. Have you start getting quotes for driveways and footpath?

Thank you Beac, how's your house going, haven't seen any updates for a short while. Have you start getting quotes for driveways and footpath? Yeah our concreter says he's going to try to do our driveway earlier because Metricon clients take priority we've paid a deposit for security screens and blinds yesterday. Next week we'll meet them on site for measure. There will be a 3-4 week wait until installation.

Terrible people! ? Have spoken to SS and he sent a team to fix everything on Thursday, he told us he is going to speed up the progress and try to have insulations and gyprock up asap. We went up yesterday, incredible speed. ceiling and wall boards are up for upper floor, very obviously he is being super annoyed by the burglar! ?
