I hope we don't have to change our benchtops I think it happened a couple of months back? I'm also keen not to have to change, but no one mentioned it when we signed off on finals last month.

We've been through selections three times with Porter Davis changing suppliers, so you get to know the colour names... Oh no! That’s frustrating ....

What structural changes did you unearth? This is very true. Our neighbour has moon shadow which was our first selection but then changed to glenfern. Moonshadow does look fabulous but I can see the brick is chipping now which is showing a different colour. With glenfern I found it changes colour throughout the day but remains darker most of the time. No regrets selecting it. 17 Jun 2015 4,234 Gold Member Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 108Jun 18, 2018 3:03 pm  shokel1975Here is image of our external colour selection - only change is that the gutters will be same colour as fascia (Monument) - bug in the software program!

Hearing too many things about the colour chipping off. Might have to rethink this choice before we go to contract... Thanks for the feedback  17 Jun 2015 4,234 Gold Member Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbourne 111Jun 21, 2018 12:58 pm shokel1975Contract Signing Appointment has been booked for 28 July. Should have plans and contract about a week before for review. Slightly concerned that they will push out the signing appointment as I am 99% sure they will miss some of our upgrades/variations we are still waiting for them to add in. They say they don't have time to price them and send them through until we see the contract. Hasn't been a stage yet where we haven't had to correct one of M's mistakes/oversights! Let's wait and see... Beaumont Tile appointment booked for 1 August. Nothing to do now but wait.... Oh exciting. They miss lots of things but @ signing time make sure they add them all in. Which they allow. Don’t sign them off until you’ve triple checked .They’ll send them to you as a variation to check and sign off. One thing we missed but they rectified later on was they didn’t update our plans with the additional add ons and this is what the SM follows. Best of luck Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 112Jun 21, 2018 1:01 pm Emmz70 shokel1975Contract Signing Appointment has been booked for 28 July.

Best of luck Thanks, yes I will definitely be triple checking each line item in the contract and everything on the plans in regards to our upgrades & variations. Too many things have dropped off along the way that we have picked up on, so now I go through each new version line by line! Thanks!

Pretty sure we changed our bricks based on one of your photos Walnut was a little too light. Preferred The black japan but they couldn’t do it as an external stain so we went with the Charcoal stain it was the closest match. Replaced all our walnut stains with Charcoal.
