It is and it isn't..nothing happens for a week and then it'll take them a few hours to put a whole floor on..really bizarre. It is quite big....the more we see the bigger it looks..

How funny that up in QLD, Metri3on build with steel frames whereas down here in VIC, they're still building with wood frames! Do you reckon you'll be able to hear the steel groan as it expands and contracts? Just wondering..... Good luck for the rest of your build!

The house is really starting to take shape. Next few weeks we should see roof, gutters and facia go on.

AHHH.....now I get it.... Was there any particular reason why you chose to go steel? I reckon, the building industry just needs to make 30-40cm width bricks the norm!!!! Oh and another thing, WOW! You've a HUGE outdoor/Alfresco room! Mine loks like a cubby compared to yours!

A friend of mine built with a steel frame about 6 years ago and back then it was not mandatory to get termite protection and she thought steel frame = no termites, Wrong. After two years the house was riddled and the buggers got in and ate their way through half the plaster ![]() What sort of protection are you getting, a steel frame is definitely a great start. I bet you will enjoy many a day and night in your outdoor room ![]() Re: Liberty 42 - Day 42 - roof trusses new pics 56Sep 13, 2009 6:14 pm Hi mundie mansion, We're getting the standard termiglass that is part of the building inclusions. Yes..the sound of termites munching...I've heard that before...such a scary sound! I guess u can never really stop them..it's more about giving them less food, reducing the number of ways for them to get in and around and to continually look for them.

So a huge outdoor room/alfresco area makes sense. I think M3tricon's builder's guarantee is the longest out of all the volume builders here in VIC. Re. the standard termite protection, I've read that the ground can't be disturbed for at least a year after the termite spray stuff is put down....I wonder what happens when you want to landscape and do the driveway (if the builder isn't doing it)....

Boy does the plactic bag piping look odd and glad it's "temporary". Bunch of roofing was delivered so hoping to see some of that go up tomorrow. It's amazing how light changes colour. The pic below the gutter (Evening Haze) is clearly different to the facia (Paperbark) but other parts of the house it looks the same. Just hoping now that when there's walls, a roof etc the colours will look more different or I'm gonna have a plain looking house.
