Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 326Apr 12, 2018 1:07 pm Tribe7 How is the concrete saga going? Any news on your permit? No update on concrete since yesterday arvo. Will go down on Saturday and see whats happening, and hopefully swap in a lockable tap to prevent further issues. No news on the permit either. I'm getting rather resigned to nothing every happening when they say it will.

I haven't asked about it with Metricon yet, but I'm not taking it for granted that they are included..... so many of the features shown in the image of our chosen facade turned out to be upgrades, and I bet eaves will be one of the upgrades!

Its an upgrade. Our estate requires them on the front but we wanted them all around. Save Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 330Apr 12, 2018 6:39 pm Final plans look great black cat . Gosh I hope your permit comes through it’s so painful waiting. That’s a good idea about your tap too, you do not want people helping themselves to your water. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 333Apr 12, 2018 10:09 pm Tribe7 blackcat20 No permit today Well that’s a bit ☹️. I hope Friday is your day Me too.

Gosh I hope your permit comes through it’s so painful waiting. That’s a good idea about your tap too, you do not want people helping themselves to your water. We reckon someone filled their pool from our tap after demo, as we had a quarter with an average usage of several thousand litres of water per day. And the meter wasn't connected to a tap, just a 26mm (?) threaded outlet... Had to pay it, as it was our word vs the water company... People are so crap! I noticed our usage increased between our visits, which I assume was the idiots washing out their concrete truck. Happy Friday 13th!

Fingers crossed your build starts soon so they can all go away and leave you tap alone Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 338Apr 13, 2018 8:34 am Tribe7 Ooohhhhhwwwwwe that’s awesome news blackcat what’s next?
