If it wasn't for us being out on a rural acreage I would love something like that. Your selections look great, can't wait to see how they come up as your build goes on! Congratulations on the site cut. That is a huge milestone. Hell i'm doing happy dances over a sign, a site cut is a 100 times better than that!

Hell i'm doing happy dances over a sign, a site cut is a 100 times better than that! thanks K-and-T, the facade is fantastic, lots of street appeal. we also liked the resort ($15,000) and the oak park ($8,000) but we just had to have the pagoda. the chateau facade is very nice anyways thank you very much, it is a very exciting milestone, but if it helps, we don't yet have a sign Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 in Bannockburn http://tinyurl.com/oz79mm4 Coffee Stain - custom lighting, furniture & collectibles www.facebook.com/coffeestaincreations Re: Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 in Bannockburn 8Aug 01, 2014 5:56 pm lincoln29 I love how you modified your kitchen/laundry a and store area! All the best with your build, please keep us updated. thanks lincoln29. it just made more sense to us, not needing the toilet or WIL, and we'll make use of the "Store" as a study and the "Study" will be the Parents Lounge/Theatre as the kids have the retreat, and we save a bit of money. cheers Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 in Bannockburn http://tinyurl.com/oz79mm4 Coffee Stain - custom lighting, furniture & collectibles www.facebook.com/coffeestaincreations Re: Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 in Bannockburn 9Aug 02, 2014 6:52 pm Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 in Bannockburn http://tinyurl.com/oz79mm4 Coffee Stain - custom lighting, furniture & collectibles www.facebook.com/coffeestaincreations Re: Building the Metricon Fortitude 32 in Bannockburn 10Aug 02, 2014 8:34 pm Looks great I look forward to following your build as I am also building with metricon!

Lets hope they can get it right this time! oh that must be so frustrating for you, our first run with metricon, felt like it took forever and everything came back wrong, and we weren't treated very well. i hope this time you get a better run, do you have to start the whole process again? how does your process go? we did pre-sale, wait (what felt like) ages for prelim contract, sign that off, wait ages, do studio M and electrical, then wait ages for final contract, a few things weren't 100%, but were noted for amendment, then applied for unconditional approval, got that, then jump through a few hoops, found missing boundary pegs, then they started, but we will probably be getting a call this week to have our tile appointment (which i thought was wierd, any spendings above and beyond inclusions are variations, out of our pocket at final payment).

We've had our initial $1000 deposit and then nothing for ages. Then we got a call to say come to Studio M/Tiles/Electrical which we did a week ago today. This plan redraw will certainly set things back a bit but we don't have to start again. Basically at the moment we are waiting for Studio M selections to come back to us this week then it will be waiting for the final contract which I think will take a bit longer now that we've had to fix the plan. Our variations don't cost us anything until ordering takes place as we are home solutions.
