Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 361Apr 29, 2017 8:02 pm In my experience, trades such as brickies and concreters only do a single job each day, so even if it's a relatively small job like a mailbox you still have to pay for a full days labour plus the materials. Re: Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 362May 07, 2017 8:56 pm Just some more photos of our lovely new home. Seriously great to be in and settled. Still some furniture upgrades to go.

Thanks, Bruce The latest versions work great. They're much smarter given updated sensors and cleaning algorithms. The Roomba is the one I'd recommend, not the cheapest, but the best. I have the 880 version and it is a little dumb, can lock itself in a room by nudging the door closed. If you have it fully open its not an issue.
