I'm looking at building something similar. Do you have more photos from the side of your house showing the parapet ? Thanks! No I don’t but I’ll take some next week and post them up for you! Our parapet mouldings are only on the facade and have a box gutter running behind them, then along the other elevations is just standard guttering. We are thinking we might add more mouldings down the track but for now just paid for the ones on the facade. Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 55Nov 03, 2017 11:49 am Doulton777 Thanks! Really happy with how it’s coming up, excited to see the portico and balcony finished! Our site start was about 17th July. They are making pretty good time, just annoying when there have been weeks where literally nothing has happened for no apparent reason.

Our site start was about 17th July. They are making pretty good time, just annoying when there have been weeks where literally nothing has happened for no apparent reason. Your site started one day before ours. And we had 1 months delay due to rain and rocks for the slap to be poured. Yeah I hate when it’s delayed. So does my ss. But when it’s back on he gets all the tradies there in one go. That’s what I like about him. M has given us a June date for handover. But because his come so far in an short time. His now given is a feb date. Hopefully there’s no delays. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 57Nov 04, 2017 6:05 pm Doulton777 Bethany Doulton777 Thanks!

Hopefully there’s no delays. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Your house has been coming along really well - your house is twice the size of ours so I guess that's why handover probably isn't expected til Feb! Our slab, frame and roof went really fast. Then we had about a month delay as they were trying to figure out our box gutter and how they were going to be able to make it work. Not much work has happened over the last few weeks either because of the local display homes being built and pinching all the tradies. When they are on site working though things seem to happen quite quickly which is great. Our M date in contract was June I think but they overstate it big time. Our SS told us last week that handover should be first week of December. Unfortunately we got told we have a new SS starting, so I'll mention this handover date when we meet him on Monday and gauge his reaction... Lol. Hoping we are happy with our new SS, our site has been cleaned up of rubbish for the first time ever since he's come on board so hopefully that's a promising sign!

M gave my ss an option to build new houses to build in point cook. But they told him he had to give us some houses. He picked a few. Then they said how about ours. But he said no I want to stay with this one. Oh boy am I so glad he stayed. There’s no way we would get someone like him again. As it was they gave it originally to another ss. Then that ss seen how big the job was. And he said no this is a job for this ss. Cos he knew he was the best one for this job. Even thou my ss has never done such a big house before. But his an ex builder he knows what his doing. And the other ss knew he would be the best for the job. I really hope your next ss is as good. Would love to see more pics of your beautiful home. It’s coming up very nicely. Hopefully there’s no more delays for you. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 59Nov 06, 2017 9:18 pm So good and bad news... The new SS does seem very good and has responded well to all our little bits and pieces we’ve found that we’d like to fix up. On mentioning our previous handover date his response was no chance. He also said not before Christmas and then with all suppliers over holiday period closing I kinda feel like we’ll be February now. Total bummer but at least he’s been honest with us so we can plan some different accommodation as it’s going to be much later than expected. First person from M that has just given us the bad news instead of promising dates they never meet... does that count as a win? Lol.

They need to be particularly when people are living in rental properties. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
