Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the Metricon Glendale 38 - Blackwood park Adela 22May 22, 2017 12:36 pm We've had some progress over the last week. Our cladding framing is finished, most of our eaves are completed and our cladding has begun. The tradies doing the cladding are doing an exceptional job with quality. All edges are perfectly cut, sanded and it looks great. A fortnight ago we finally had our rear pillarless doors fitted. We are very happy with them, however there was a 5 week hold up on them. Now to get the cladding finished so we can make the inside water tight. We are still waiting for the dining and garage roof to be installed. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/cladding%201_zpsuiu5qpxx.jpg http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/eaves%20%20framing_zps6udllj5g.jpg http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/entrance%20bulkhead_zpswlg8oa1q.jpg This is the custom entrance bulkhead we had fitted to make an inbuilt hallstand plinth. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/rear%20doors%20open_zps00ouvyrb.jpg http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u434/acannell/rear%20doors%20closed_zpsricpgkw7.jpg Re: Building the Metricon Glendale 38 - Blackwood park Adela 23May 22, 2017 9:49 pm Looking good. Any pics of that monster garage? Re: Building the Metricon Glendale 38 - Blackwood park Adela 24May 22, 2017 10:17 pm dulie Looking good. Any pics of that monster garage? Thanks Dulie. Unfortunately they're using the garage as a storage facility and the scaffolding is still up throughout. Once the scaffolding is down I'll get another pic for you Re: Building the Metricon Glendale 38 - Blackwood park Adela 25Jul 31, 2017 9:38 am Ok, an update. In June our SS decided he would retire without letting us know. Poor communication from Metricon. Our new SS seems to be on the ball and very fussy which is great. We have our staircasses in, walls gyprocked and flushed. Corness' on and architraves on. We also have our vanities in, our kitchen benches in, the list goes on. We popped over last week to have a look and tiling has been completed on the ground and they were starting the walls. The glass balustrade is installed in most areas too. Seems the display homes nearby are opening next month, so they might want them all completed ASAP.
