Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: October 2009
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Day 159 - Settlement. Today we got the keys. Let's not get too excited though because not everything is finished yet. Due to the wedding and also my site supervisor's wife due to have a baby in the next week or two Metricon pushed the settlement a little forward to ensure we had the keys after we came back from our Honeymoon to move straight in. This is the front of the house on the settlement day with the deck installed. How much water they used. The fence pretty much done.

Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: Day 153 - Fence Started
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-153-fence-started.html
Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Day 153 - Fence Started. I've asked them to extend the fence down another metre and a half to my neighbours garage so we'll see how we go and if they do it.however they told me they would. I also took a few photos of the front now the render is complete. I'm pretty happy with how it came up, there is a splash of colour without being over the top and all of the colours go together. Pictures from the completed facade are below. From the driveway side. From the front of the house.

Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: Day 147 - To Be.....Inspection Date Booked
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-147-to-beinspection-date-booked.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. Day 147 - To Be.Inspection Date Booked. Somewhat good news today. The Quality Assurance guys from Metricon went through the house and the house managed to pass. We're booked in for next Monday to have our final inspection. Metricon have advised us that they would rather not try and pull the floorboards out of the contract and they will install them for us. What I don't know is what this means to the handover date, I'll hopefully have that resolved in the next day or two. WEEK ...

Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: Day 151 - Final Inspection
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-151-final-inspection.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. Day 151 - Final Inspection. Today we had the final inspection and it all went pretty well. The flooring isn't in yet, it will be done after handover when the floorboards become available. The front deck will hopefully be done this week. We had a couple of pages of items that need to be rectified but nothing major. Hopefully the items will be resolved by the end of this week or worst case early next week. I'm hoping to get a more specific date for handover on Wednesday. We had in...

Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: April 2009
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. A Close Call - Almost No Mercer! A day after I wrote the last Entry Metricon issued us with a breach notice due to the delays with the bank. It played out something like this:. Signed Metricon Contract, and dropped off contract to Mortgage Broker. We have 30 days to get signed bank contracts and council approval to make the contract unconditional. Started to follow-up with Mortgage Broker to see how things were going. What does this mean? Well we weren't issued with a fine which i...

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Day 132 - Carpets Installed. Today I received my weekly update from my site supervisor.unfortunately my stupid iphone cut out half way through the call and refused to let any incoming calls be answered so I didn't get to have the chat I was after. I dropped Metricon an email asking him to call back but I haven't heard anything yet. We're almost over the line, hopefully our inspection will be next week. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Day 129 - Cleaning Complete, Getting There.

Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: July 2009
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Day 54 - Telephone, TV and Data and Site Chaos. Today the data cables, telephone cables, tv cables, hub cables etc.were all installed by Opticomm's contracted company Techlife. The engineer was really friendly and accomodating. Over the last 3 months I have done my best to ensure that techlife were onsite after the electrical company but because they electrician's didn't attend the site last week they ended up being there at exactly the same time. Anyway the moto of the story is t...

Ben's - Metricon Mercer 32: Upgrades
http://ourmercer.blogspot.com/2009/09/upgrades.html
Sunday, September 6, 2009. Given that we're now getting a little closer to completion I thought it might be worth itemising the upgrades we made to the base house design. We had some upgrades as part of our Luxury Promotion Pack. These packs always vary but we made quite a few upgrades again on top of this pack. For the most part it upgraded our selection categories, but we found we upgraded again on quite a few things, particuarly the kitchen. 2550mm ceiling instead of 2400mm standard ceiling. Fully lin...
