We wanted that colour and until now I still don't know what went wrong during selection at studio M lol. What's the stain? Thanks E! Just looked it up, the stain is Sikkens Ebony. Thanks!

Let us know how it went! Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 883Apr 04, 2017 2:16 pm beac_faith Hi D, is it inspection today? Let us know how it went! Hi E, Yup just finished our PCI. Was pretty breezy, nothing really majorly wrong. Biggest ticket item was un-even concrete slab along the rebated stacker doors. My tiler told me about this or I wouldn't have even picked it up, so I raised it with my SM. SM is gonna have a floor grinder come to even it all up =D Apart from that, just all minor paint touch ups, silicone here and there nothing worth noting. 10 Business days from today he'll have everything fixed, then hand over SM reckons. Who says building a house is hard... lol Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 884Apr 04, 2017 2:21 pm dulie beac_faith Hi D, is it inspection today? Let us know how it went!

Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 885Apr 04, 2017 2:24 pm Dulie Can you bring ur SM and builders down to Melb to build my house please? Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 886Apr 04, 2017 2:27 pm The quality of the build depends on the involvement of the SM. I'm grateful we have a good SM who is always on top of things, and quite regular with his updates too. From the visits i have had so far, i am hoping to have a To-Do list similar to Dulie. Fingers crossed. Congrats Dulie. You wont need to do much more snooping around once you get the keys. Like me, you'd suddenly miss that part of it. LOL!

Yeah a good SM is worth is weight in gold! I swear the misses and I didn't really pick up anything during PCI, while the SM actually picked up all the imperfections. We just walked along chatting about random stuff lol. And yup no problems, i'll put him in express post to your address in 10 business days.

Yeah definitely, I couldn't be happier with the effort our SM has put into getting our place just right. Like I said earlier, the SM has picked and fixed 10 times the amount of things that we weren't happy with. Feels like the guys up here in QLD really take pride in their work and do a great job. Very lucky to have experience such an enjoyable experience during this build. Will definitely miss using my ninja skillz to access the house lol.

Who says building a house is hard... lol Glad to hear it all went well! You have certainly created a beautiful house. Funny you mentioned about the slab not being even. Ours isn't either and the tiles in some areas are above the stacker and below in others and the SS said it was within tolerances so nothing is being done! C U S T O M. C O R A L.

Yeah I'm so glad I invited my tiler over to scope out the house, he said it's a very common problem that most don't pick up till it's too late. Cause you don't see it till after the tiles are laid. Unlucky that your SM refuses to do anything about it. I've read up on tolerances and it's 10mm's which is crazy!!! Plus I feel as if I would have gotten a similar response from the SM if we didn't pick it up before the tiles were laid.
