Good to see your house is going well. Our house started framing for Hebel today. Plumber and electrical almost done ready for plaster. Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 131Nov 10, 2018 2:27 pm With hebel they will finished it in a couple of days. I am all brick so it will take more time.

Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 136Nov 18, 2018 7:37 pm Good on you getting hebel flooring. So wished we would have got that. We have a few creaking areas still. Not happy with the chipboard at all. Or whatever rubbish they put on there. How much did it cost? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 138Nov 19, 2018 6:50 am stanus it was 16.5k for the Doulton 56. Would have been so worth it. The creaking annoys the heck out of me. Metricon is trying to say wait and let it settle for 24 months. But it’s got nothing to do with settling. As it was a problem before handover. They fixed most of it around the stairs. But the bedroom which the private inspector mentioned. Has it bad. Although he said it won’t be a problem because the bed will go there. Boy was he wrong. If I knew that I would have insisted they fix it before handover. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 139Nov 19, 2018 7:08 am Doulton777 stanus it was 16.5k for the Doulton 56.
