I totally don’t understand that right now, but hopefully I will soon. I have asked them to quote on something similar to your set up, as I know you’ve been really happy with yours.

Lol Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 564Dec 29, 2019 12:22 pm It’s always fun to have a major water leak in your powder room toilet (which by the way has a hidden cistern behind a tiled wall), when Metricon are closed for the Christmas break… I’m very frustrated with our ‘contact’ at M during the three month service period as she just doesn’t respond to any inquiries, phone calls or emails. We now have major swelling in our arcs and cracks and discolouration in the skirts as well as wet carpet in the front sitting room, which is on the other side of the wall to the powder room. 😡😡😡 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 565Dec 29, 2019 12:37 pm That's not looking good.

Cistern is now turned off and from 3 toilets we are down to 1 (en-suite toilet is a little blocked up) 😌 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 567Dec 29, 2019 12:54 pm shokel1975 blackcat20 That's not looking good.

I'm convinced their KPIs are to refuse as many claims as possible in hope you'll give up. I'd ring their emergency line for that one Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 570Dec 29, 2019 3:43 pm Drew01 Sprinkle bicarb all around as well...

I have sent a pretty nasty email to her cc’ing my site supervisor and his boss too. Hopefully the "nasty" email gets some action! Little hiccups are to be expected, I suppose. Simply ignoring inquiries and telephone calls is rude and bad business. If I did that in my work, I wouldn't have a job! Hope your 10 day break is relaxing, and it's not too bad in the meantime. https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 572Jan 13, 2020 2:44 pm It turns out that all the water damage from our leaking toilet in the Powder Room was caused by a simply connection on the back of the toilet that wasn't pushed all the way into the connecting pipe in the wall. Instead, they were butting up against each other and water was leaking down into the wall cavity with each flush. Now the arcs/skirts and some lower plaster around the entry to the powder room need to be replaced and the carpet, underlay and skirts in the adjacent sitting room need to be replaced. A lot of work for a small mistake! Careless trades.....

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 580Jan 23, 2020 8:56 am shokel1975 Yeah, not sure. Assessor said the plumber would be getting the bill for all of it, but I thought same as you drew01. Hopefully it is all fixed soon. It turns out the plumber is definitely getting billed for all the costs to fix our leak issues. So now I have to put up with all the trades coming to 'quote' their part of the job first, and then once it is submitted and approved, work can start to fix the issues. Builder, grout/moisture company, plasterer, painter, carpet layer - I think this will be a long process..... but not too fussed. Carpet has dried out and toilet has been properly connected so, the rest is just cosmetic. Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
