There was literally 6 plasterers on site! And in some good news he told us that he has booked the painter that does the display homes....so lets just say I will have a high expectation of our paint work! Told me to book in Darbecca for next Thursday for our pre-paint inspection. Question - we have about $1000 worth of bricks left over. PD are happy to take them away for us, or we can keep them. We have absolutely no need for them but we have paid for them. Has anyone kept leftover bricks? I am wondering if I could sell them - make an easy $500 or so. Our recessed ceiling - 3.3 metres (rest of the house is 2.74m) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Love the ceiling. Could you use the bricks for retaining wall or garden edging when you landscape? see more About the hoffman – Building the hoffman https://hoffmangoldwithporterdavis.wordpress.com/about/ Re: Porter Davis homes 17059Jun 20, 2018 6:32 pm A little update: Have had our 3 month inspection and most things fixed. Still to be fixed our entry wall that is over 10mm out of plum and a continuing stinking toilet in our powder room. Complained about our paint as after 3 months will have to repaint due to not being able to clean up Marks on the paint. PD inspector said what did we expect as PD are a volume builder and they use cheap paint. If we wanted paint we could wash we should have upgraded!!!!! Some other items below. The garage has now been ground and sealed, concrete is in for the spa and I have made a fixture to weld myself a blade fence. Still fighting with the council to get my driveway bond back. The concreters did an excellent job on the driveway.

We are looking at getting that done too. Just browsing all the paint flecks now.
