The front is nearly all painted. Just waiting for the baluster which was suppose to be done before Christmas. But it wasn’t ready. We haven’t had many delays. It’s been great. Windows are same colour as the garage. It’s just hard to see it in the pic.

We’re building in regional vic. New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 1075Jan 17, 2018 5:48 pm Yesterday I went to see the house. Drive by to see if anything else was done on it. Only to find out they were in the process of installing the carpet. I went in there too have a look. Something told me too go in. I was contemplating weather I should or shouldn’t. Then I ring Phil and I tell him the carpet was getting installed. And I said maybe I should go in. He aid yes go. Which I usually don’t cos I don’t want to disturb them. But I have done it once or twice. Rarely thou. Anyway I walked in and found that the carpet was the wrong colour. I ended up talking to the carpet layer. Telling him it’s the wrong carpet. His face turned pale. As he said he spent all day just cutting it up too lay down the stairs as the stairs was going too be a nightmare of a job. He straight away believed me and told the other guys too stop working. He rang up his boss. His boss checked it out. And said yes stop what your doing it’s the wrong one. Get all the carpet out of there. The carpet guy was so grateful I walked in when I did. I asked him has he laid any at all. Considering they were there all day. But he said no. Just the underlay which took them all day. I said I’m so glad I decided too walk in. He said he was too. He also said he thought we were crazy people and why would we have picked that colour. I said I would have thought that too. There was no way I would pick that colour. So I get a call today from carpet court. Who then tells me I was right. America sent the wrong colour. And now we can’t get that carpet anymore as they don’t make it anymore. But he has the newer styles. That we can choose from there. The same quality. He said it stuffed him up for our job and another big job. I said good thing I walked in when I did. He said so relieved. Oh yes I’m glad you did. You saved us thousands of dollars in labour. Thank you As we have 335sqm of carpet. Metricon told us they never had such a big job for the carpet. So I’m pretty sure the guy would have been so relieved. As it not only saved them on our job. But the other job they had lined up for Friday. I’m just so thankful too that voice that you hear inside that tells you too do something. And it nags at you. Always listen to that voice friends. You never know what will happen when you do. In our case it spared a lot of people. And saved heaps. I’m also sharing this as a testimony. This is the carpet they were going to install. It’s almost white . Can you imagine that with 11 people living there.

Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 1078Jan 18, 2018 9:59 am Good pick up! Always trust your gut. Another case where M failed to deliver. M are meant to order the supplies upon signing of the final contract to save/allocate stock for you . If you were to request a change, they will always say “too late we order it for you already when the contract signed” another false claim by M.

My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t They did order it from selections. This is the update The carpet guy came down today. We talked about the whole situation. He reckons it’s never happened before. But he reckons it’s only cos of my email. That I said I didn’t choose cashmere Oxford. That he thought hang on a minute. Then he checked it and found the carpet they were about too lay wasn’t cashmere Oxford. I think he thought we might have made the mistake so he was double checking. Good thing I sent that email. As they would have installed it in the other house too. So he showed us a new one. That’s better then the other one we choose cos this one is solution dyed. It’s like our old one where everything that spills sits on top. But it didn’t have solution dyed. So this is there updated model. Which is much better. He also said the carpet was ordered over a year ago for us. So it would have been after selections. Then I asked hang on a minute. Do you have this it in stock Then he said we need to order it from nsw. I thought he was going to say America . So glad it was only nsw. And apparently it’s not 335sqm. It’s 400sqm . Don’t know why the carpet consultant told me 335sqm. But he was so grateful as he said it would have cost them thousands in labour. For both the houses cos they were going to lay it down at the other house too. His said for that one is was only 70 meters. So now they have only enough for ours. They would have to reorder for the other house. I thank God. Cos not only did he save them money. But we got a better carpet out of it . It also has a life time warranty on fading and staining. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 1080Jan 18, 2018 7:26 pm you saved him money. Rather than he be appreciative, how about he get you a bottle of wine! That's what I would do if you saved me thousands of dollars from my mistake.
