I have a suspicion that items might have been deliberately misdescribed so that Metricon can charge a massive variation fee to "fix" the problem.<br />Has anyone else experienced anything similar.<br />AndyAndy550https://www.blogger.com/profile/12634089686422555211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491031818795761720.post-32323854360786244242011-03-04T17:23:32.584+11:002011-03-04T17:23:32.584+11:00Lauren I really feel for you guys - it must be awf...Lauren I really feel for you guys - it must be awful to see how far our places have come in comparison :(<br /><br />Jay Sandrine and I are in NSW ;)<br /><br />Rachael we are on the same timeline as you - feels like FOREVER!!<br /><br />Dying to know if your tilers finished Sandrine? As far as I know ours havent been back - 4 weeks now since they started - but "apparently" they will finish tomorrow or Monday..so says our SS..Shaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029199569570469002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491031818795761720.post-8066615716955758002011-03-02T21:40:16.008+11:002011-03-02T21:40:16.008+11:00I can see your point Sandrine, but it is looking g...I can see your point Sandrine, but it is looking great! <br /><br />Gees, i'd love even one tile at the moment. It really is hard for me to believe we started at the same time - we are stuck and havent even locked up yet... its a nightmare at the moment...Lauren and Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840825713359695175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491031818795761720.post-48462850580487523602011-03-02T18:50:10.048+11:002011-03-02T18:50:10.048+11:00I'd be pretty damn annoyed too :( It's not...I'd be pretty damn annoyed too :( It's not right for the tilers to do that surely...and certainly not good for your SS to say nothing can be done? He should be pushing the tilers to get your job finished asap as the longer they take, the more he'll have to push back everything else. <br /><br />Hope they get their act together and finish it quickly for you. Same for you Shayne! xx<br /><br />I really love the main tile, it's very soft. What colour is it?<br /><br />For interest sake, we paid our initial deposit back in November 09 so it's about 16 months for us with Wisdom. Or 12 months if we count from when we accepted the tender...we were also promised a Christmas completion...baaaahh!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635997837609533275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491031818795761720.post-28647107687468692542011-03-02T18:49:51.966+11:002011-03-02T18:49:51.966+11:00Doesn't look like Metricon in Melbourne are ta...Doesn't look like Metricon in Melbourne are taking care of their customers as well as in QLD or NSW.JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198670103514611822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491031818795761720.post-88338086059481061652011-03-02T18:31:44.728+11:002011-03-02T18:31:44.728+11:00Same story for everyone like you say!
