When it's not crazy busy for the builder and contractors and very little rain Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 323May 20, 2019 9:50 am MyFirst What a great time to build a house! When it's not crazy busy for the builder and contractors and very little rain Yes myfirst, we have been very lucky with the weather. The last of the bricks are going up in the coming days, so the weather shouldn't be a factor anymore Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 324May 20, 2019 6:59 pm shokel1975 looking good. It starts looking like a home after plaster goes up what's the height downstairs? Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 325May 20, 2019 8:03 pm stanus shokel1975 looking good. It starts looking like a home after plaster goes up what's the height downstairs? It certainly does! We have 2550 on both levels. Couldn’t do any higher as we had height restrictions for the roof height, set by council. Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 326May 23, 2019 9:30 am Plaster is now complete with all plaster stopping done and now drying. It seems crazy that only 2 months ago (from yesterday) our site scrape happened. Build is moving incredibly fast, but we have still been very happy with the quality and the independent inspector has not found very much wrong with the build at all. Bricking for rear garage/shed is nearly complete too - then roof trusses and colorbond are to go on - but not too fussed about when that happens - hubby is more excited about seeing the shed than I am!

I’m building a Winchester 34 + a Canterbury 25 in Ivanhoe. We site started March 21 (very similar to you) and I reckon we are maybe 2 weeks behind. We’ve stalled a bit this week due to rain but we are laying bricks. Enjoying your updates Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 332Jun 01, 2019 2:46 pm Kate3079 Hi Shokel1975, I’m Kate, I’m following your journey with interest.

Do you have a build thread I can follow? It would be great to follow your build, being that it is so close to my timeline. Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 333Jun 03, 2019 8:03 pm This past week.... waterproofing has been done and cabinetry is currently being installed. However, 2 problems in kitchen so far: 1. Wrong colour cabinetry on drawer side of island. It should be Domain, like the rear of the island. 2. We have an upright oven that is meant to stand on legs. For some reason we missed it on the plans, but we have a base panel and kickrail where oven is to go. Hopefully this can be fixed without a variation fee.

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 336Jun 05, 2019 9:15 pm With the oven, seems to be standard that they install them inbuilt without the feet. Ours is like ready too.

Ours is like ready too. We are hoping they will change it. We really wanted more of the industrial look for the oven. I’m annoyed that I missed it in the plans... but then again, I picked up soooo many other wrong things - I guess I can’t get them all!
