Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 4Apr 27, 2017 10:18 am blackcat20 Interesting; I asked for hebel for the second story and was told it wasnt possible... It's definitely possible blackcat, our whole house is going to be hebel! I had a couple of instances where I was told something couldn't be done (i.e. under stair storage and kitchen island bench overhang to 300mm) but ended up getting it once I pushed back.

We had the promo for full hebel but I really wanted the look of brick downstairs so I ditched it. Was hoping to change the cheap cladding upstairs to hebel but they said no. Everything else I've asked for has been done no issues.

Ah well, can't win them all. Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 8Aug 02, 2017 3:57 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ New Update. Waiting on Plans/Elevations to be redrawn.

That's an interesting spot for the fireplace, did they recommend it goes there or did you nominate that spot?

That's an interesting spot for the fireplace, did they recommend it goes there or did you nominate that spot? Thanks! We nominated that spot as we wanted it centrally located in the room. Only other option was right at the end of the house. Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 14Oct 04, 2017 5:50 pm craigo elieassi1992 Looks good craigo!

Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 16Oct 04, 2017 10:07 pm Nice! Love the Savannah layout, we copied a few things from it's layout into our home. Awesome guest bedroom setup you've made down stairs. Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 17Oct 04, 2017 10:20 pm dulie Nice! Love the Savannah layout, we copied a few things from it's layout into our home. Awesome guest bedroom setup you've made down stairs. Oh I've just noticed you did too! The rear of upstairs! Awesome. We copied your master ensuite layout when we added a bath to the ensuite. The ground entry is also similar to yours as well. We added the niches to match. We are loving all your custom cabinetry updates. Wish we had your contact here in SA.
