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. Hey! The rangehood vents out through the roof, was a painful thing to get at first, because they kept trying to say they couldn't. I eventually won. ![]() The staircase was the biggest ticket item. My husband would not let it go of that or the massive sliding doors at the rear. This is in the display. What we are getting is relatively similar. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Just saw the reply. Thx! Lol was thinking about $1100 is way too good to be ture. why didn`t everyone pick it. Now I know why Beautiful staircase for sure! You have some amazing selections gonna be a stunning home Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 28Jul 07, 2017 7:41 pm I believe I spotted yours a few weeks back when I went up to the block! Very very close to us (hello future-neighbour) and that's such a lovely quiet little street. Hope it's not too hectic when you move in if everyone is still building around you - but it will be absolutely fabulous when everythings done ![]() Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 29Jul 26, 2017 8:47 pm So exciting! Love your upgrades and those stairs will be AMAZING!! Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 30Jul 27, 2017 3:25 pm I drove past your place today, lots happening on site now!! Springlake is going to be such a great estate Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 31Jul 27, 2017 4:58 pm [quote="JM1911A1"]I believe I spotted yours a few weeks back when I went up to the block! I've been so slack at replying recently. Hello future neighbour! We will have to get introduced at the next movie night if you attend! I'm sure we will be seeing you around ![]() ![]() I'm vey excited to see things move along, fingers crossed they keep to the agreed handover date. (And this wet weather passes quickly)! Have you had any more progress on your stunner of a house? Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 32Jul 27, 2017 5:00 pm ![]() So exciting! Love your upgrades and those stairs will be AMAZING!! Oh thank you! The stairs were a must have for my husband, and though I love them, it came at a hefty price. I'm sure once it's all done I won't even think about the $$ it's all costing 🤞 ![]() Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 33Jul 27, 2017 5:02 pm [quote="Blake+Louise"]I drove past your place today, lots happening on site Hi Neighbour! Finally we see some sort of house looking structure, and being able to now walk through and get a feel for how it will all be when it's done. Have you moved into your home yet? Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 34Jul 27, 2017 5:03 pm We're likely to have two empty blocks beside us for some time once we're in! But will be putting up our fences and pretending it's not there. Our slab is down, right before the weather turned - so we're liking the time for the builders to be off site and let it set. Our frame stage has a note that it should be the 11th of next month, but I'll believe it when I see it! Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 35Jul 27, 2017 5:14 pm So the last month has been fairly unproductive. We saw the roof going on and the windows installed on the upper level.
We've also had some major drama with missing/ changed items to our selections and wrong items being ordered. On top of that our CSR isn't very pleasant to deal with and our SM was on holiday. Our dramas all started with me having another look through our selections list only to find it's not the finale copy and no changes were documented correctly. We now have the wrong front door, not too different so I'll live with it, all windows aren't double glazed. The top story has the wrong windows and we have missing bulkheads ect. There was also an array of wrong items in our selections list which thankfully on return of our SM this week gets rectified tomorrow. Iv never been so annoyed in my life, thank gosh for saving all email Comms between us and the. Some good new is that we can now see our layout and walk though the entire house. Our swimming pool has just passed counsil and we are starting to engage landscapers to design our gardens and start doing the odd thing when they are let on site. Iv also finally got the correct samples for our Kitchen colours YAY Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Re: Metricon Glendale 34 Springlake 36Jul 27, 2017 5:25 pm ![]() So the last month has been fairly unproductive.

Metricon Glendale 34 Modified Oh lordy, that sounds like problem after problem! Well hopefully they can rectify all of those issues for you (at their end cause, not fixing things was their issue!) now your SM is back! Your CRC sounds like ours, we're not particularly fond of her but we'll get by. Our SS isn't very responsive though so far but I'm sure we will just blunder on without them if we need to regarding everything outside the build! What's the plan with the pool?

Glad to hear council has ticked it off for you! Our SM is just all around great. He's fixed up all the problems and said whatever else comes up as we move along he will sort. I'm a happy camper again :p. We decided last minute we wanted a pool and the only space it would fit was to the right of the house. Lucky I'd changed those windows to two large ones so we'll be able to see it from the rear and through the windows like a little feature. I'm hoping to screen out all fences with trees and turn it into a place I'll spend allot of time.

I went for a look and was pleasantly surprised at finding the brickies almost half way done with the lower story. They are braving the cold wet Adelaide Hills weather, even with the mud and puddles of water. The brick is slightly more brown and darker than first thought.
