Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 26, 2017 5:01 pm Hi All,
I have been following so many amazing builds, and finally we are starting our own.After many delays (18months) we are finally seeing movement. We originally tried to fit the Glendale 42 on our block but due to the slope in the front of our block had to modify. Anyway fast forward to November 2016, we finally settled our land. Now End April 2017, everyone is ready to GO! Springlake's beauty is what attracted us to the Adelaide Hills. It wasn't even on our radar till we visited. Our site works are starting with the arrival of fencing and the all mighty blue loo Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Springlake Estate Lake: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 2Apr 26, 2017 5:26 pm Metricon has been great throughout our journey so far.

My threads up but not really moving yet - still in the valuation/council stages! Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 14Jun 08, 2017 6:47 pm After the longest month in history. They have finally started doing something. Our structural steel went up just over a week ago. Last night we had a call from our SM, telling us that framing will start today. Curious, we went and had a quick look . Very happy to finally see something. What sucks is that we live about 800m from our new place, everything seems slow when you see it almost daily. Finally full steam ahead!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 15Jun 08, 2017 6:52 pm Congrats! Looking forward to your next update as the framing goes up. Our council approval is just pending on a few last minute changes on our end (ready to rubber stamp it!) so we'll be about 2-3 months behind you. Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 16Jun 08, 2017 7:00 pm Thanks! I'm very happy to finally see movement. Not long now, you must be getting excited, hopefully council approval comes through soon. We had a few changes after it was approved first time around, it took them about a week to re-approve. Are you also in Stage 2 Brookside? Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 17Jun 08, 2017 7:08 pm The pre-build part of waiting for the paperwork is by far the worst so far! We're getting excited for sure - should move onto build stage early next month by our tracker, our CRC has said that she could get council approval right now except we let her know we wanted to do a few quick tweaks so is just waiting to send it through to them so we don't need to get re-approval. We are in Stage 2 Brookside! Good to catch another Brookside side - I believe there's another one posting, and a few over in Parkside 2. Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 18Jun 09, 2017 6:15 pm Ooo it all gets exciting now!! Seeing all your ideas and planning come to fruition! We're also in Springlake, building the Rossdale Flaxley (modified) and should have the keys within 4 weeks! Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 19Jun 09, 2017 7:52 pm Double glazing throughout : $1100 90cm Scweigen undermount rangehood Victorian Ash Cantilevered part open/part closed staircase with glass panels and Vic Ash handrails :$ 26000 Hi eliszia Those two are great addons. Does the rangehood have the external motor? Surprised on the cost of double glazing throughout. Was expecting a much higher bill. You have really expensive taste on staircase. Do you have any pic for the staircase? Staircase is one of the biggest statement for a house. you are going to have a amazing one.
