Day 24 - Frame Walls Complete

Friday after checking the status of MyMetricon I found that the frame walls has been marked as completed. Friday night I dropped by quickly on my way to dinner to take a look but it was too dark to see how much progress had been made. Yesterday after a visit to the estate gym we drove by to do a more thorough inspection.

It was exciting to walk through the front door and get a feel for how everything is going to look, it's been a while since we visited the display homes and we made a few minor changes to our home from features we liked from them so it was good to see it starting to come to life.

Initially looking at this i was a little worried. It looked like they put the shower in laundry, but after thinking about it, it made sense the pipe was where it was so the shower could come out of the wall :) Not sure where the other part of this wall will go, that will obviously happen later.
The tri-stacker door for the alfresco area waiting to be installed. The frame is also onsite, but in another location.

Given I'm not a builder and I have no idea what I'm looking at, it appeared as though everything had been put together relatively well. We contacted our building inspector this week to make sure he received a copy of our plans etc. He told us to advise Metricon that we would be having a building inspector in at each stage. He said he needs about 2 days notice for each inspection.

I didn't hear from my SS or Customer Service rep this week, I guess at this point of building everything is relatively straight forward and they're busy, hopefully there will be a little more communication forthcoming as we move further into the process.

At this stage it looks like the frame is anticipated to be completed on Wednesday, this is about 5 days longer than the original estimate due to the rain last week. I will also start to update the site with some of our upgrades/inclusions and colour selections.
