I got the keys on a Friday night, and by the end of the weekend, I had moved everything in. It was great to cook a meal in my very own kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaturally being a Landscaper I couldn\u2019t wait to start working on the outdoor areas, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Metricon, visit <strong>metricon.com.au<\/strong> or call 1300 638 742.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>METRICON customer and first-time homeowner Matt Stahl recently received the keys to his brand-new home.
