Emmz - The piers costed between $4k - $5k. This included tiles and labour. We had to choose them when we did the externals as it needs to go to the council with your facade. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Love the photo, of pier, but don't like the price tag! We're getting ledgestone look at the costing me $5200 supply and install. Project mob are milking you. Better expect the high stand no less for that price. Yay for working on Sunday! Love it! Yes I know M's 25% margin does hurt - exact reason I think we could have done custom build for the amount of money we spent. Well next time . There will be one viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1684Apr 17, 2016 3:10 pm gandn Totally in love with tile choices Franky! They look fantastic. Sorry to say but well worth the wait! Been quite on here as going through some fireplace dramas and just terribly busy coming up to moving out and in. Will try and update you all soon on my thread. Thanks Gandn - haha @ worth the wait! I want to see it all before agreeing . Did you manage to sell your place? Looking forward to your update viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1685Apr 17, 2016 3:11 pm M and T It all looks wonderful Franky!!! It's so good to see all the pics of everything coming together Welcome to our version of the Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Thanks M and T - can't wait to see it all done viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1686Apr 17, 2016 4:18 pm Franky40 We had our "unofficial" PCI ver 1 today! We identified 25 new issues and now have in total 40 issues that needs to be fixed. Nothing major. The house is starting to shape up and looks lovely. We had painters and plumbers on site. So it was action packed. I was glad to see the tilers there when we arrived, was very unimpressed when they left after couple of hrs when there was clearly a lot more to do! have decided to speak to DL directly. Just sick of it! Our appliances were being installed while we were there, we wanted this to be done at settlement. Now a bit concerned don't want them going missing. Now for pics without further ado Kitchen - love the way the benchtop sits flush with the window.

Looks really good!!! Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1687Apr 17, 2016 5:04 pm Franky the time taken for you place seems pretty good considering how large and complicated the house is. You started after us I think and you are quite a bit ahead with a much bigger house (which is gorgeous by the way). Using my LG-G4 to bring you this update. Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1688Apr 17, 2016 8:25 pm Love the tiles, Franky. Good on the tradies to work on Sunday. Thanks for info on DL. Our tiling is with DL as well. The tiling plans that you gave SM did you put this together yourself? What software did you use? Thanks.

I just checked out your thread. Amazing looking house you are building love the stairs . I always knew it would take longer as we had made number of structural changes and have a bit of upgrades with tiles etc. we had our slab poured in May 2015! So a solid 12 months - almost nearing the end!! viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1691Apr 17, 2016 9:32 pm KKPP Love the tiles, Franky.

Thanks KKPP - I'm sure the council won't agree with You . I put this together myself......I used a very sophisticated software called Excel I just used paint to cut and paste the photos of the tiles and plans. I use Excel for everything lol! It took some time so you can imagine how annoyed I was when the got things wrong. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1692Apr 17, 2016 9:39 pm Franky40 KKPP Love the tiles, Franky.

Will make sure we meet the tiling supervisor before tiling and ask for frequent site visits. Actually, how frequent were you able to visit site with SM? Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1693Apr 17, 2016 10:15 pm Hi! How much was the jasper lounge modular from king furniture? It looks SOO comfortable <3 Re: Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1694Apr 18, 2016 9:01 am goldcoasthome Hi! How much was the jasper lounge modular from king furniture? It looks SOO comfortable <3 Hi Goldcoasthome - the jasper comes in so many different packages and configurations. So it would be best for you to measure your floor space and visit King to see what would fit and work well for your floor space. Depending on what configuration you choose and the material it can cost anything from $5k - $8k. Don't buy it full price they always have sales. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Building Metricon Franklin 40 Sydney 1695Apr 19, 2016 6:16 pm So the works continued.

The closer you nudge to the end the longer it feels! We have a private pole ( a bit crooked but a pole nevertheless!) Tiling is still outstanding - where are they?? Painters have gone through and started staining stairs/doors. We've had a good clean up inside - reckon carpet installs may happen tomorrow??
