Our block is in Drummond Cove about 15m north of town and is near the beach so should be great. If you have to get new furniture, at least it will all fit perfectly in your new home! We were terrible with furniture, took us almost 4 years before we had bought it all. Doesn’t help my tastes are bit xxy haha. That facade looks amazing, I love modern, square lines. Have you done selections yet? Re: Metricon Vantage 35 - New Build 22Nov 29, 2017 5:45 am Wow love the external colour choices!

Also since I have increased ceiling heights, I need to factor that into shelving sizes as well? Re: Metricon Vantage 35 - New Build 24Nov 29, 2017 11:48 pm JAMBY Yeah Geraldton isn’t too bad.

Have you done selections yet? True that, can get matching furniture. But will cost a fortune Guess it's all worth it They have been postponing selections. I am still negotiating as they had included incorrect items/prices in my tender/variation. Our SC is amazing, so he is helping us sort the issues with H.O. Can't believe the inaccuracies in contracts/variations considering the SQS system is one and same throughout.

Re: Metricon Vantage 35 - New Build 28Nov 30, 2017 12:03 am A picture below of how the kitchen wall unit upgrade will look like. For this, we have added an additional oven (I am thinking of a substitute as I'd already get one) and relocated the standard oven from under benchtop to the wall unit. For a substitute any good ideas? Clearly, two ovens are not required.
