Lol) Woodies are you in a fibre estate? If you are the aerial runs through the fibre and won't work until the fibre is connected into the garage. Kitchen sink is either just aeration or water sitting in pipes for a bit. Run it for a long time and see if it makes a difference  which tap did you go with?Re: Porter Davis homes 12991Jun 14, 2016 9:25 am shanis33Woodies are you in a fibre estate? If you are the aerial runs through the fibre and won't work until the fibre is connected into the garage. Woah are you serious? Ugh so that means no proper wifi AND no tv until the end of the month  shanis33Kitchen sink is either just aeration or water sitting in pipes for a bit.

They need to connect the fibre cable that's at the side of the house (hopefully pd pulled it through from the road) into a box in the garage (Comms box) and then you can get tv. Then it takes a few days after that for the Internet and phone to start working. We are getting ours done with Telstra on Friday and won't have Internet or phone until Wednesday night.

Loving the house. Can't wait to get fences in though  Silly but one of the upgrades I'm most glad we went with was floor to ceiling tiles in the bathrooms, that was a major debate for us as to whether t was worth it and I will now say a definite YES.Building a Porter Davis Livingstone 23 in Mayfield, Cranbourne East | Our thread 18/05/15 - Contract Signed 24/12/15 - Land Settlement 30/1/16 - Slab poured 9/06/16 - Handover Re: Porter Davis homes 12996Jun 15, 2016 8:14 pm Anyone else here manage to get a wall colour throughout their whole house that was not part of Porter Davis' standard wall range?

I know of one example but just wondering if any others as I know many of you are way ahead in your process than I am. We weren't told there were even standard colours for walls in our apt - the consultant suggested one that we didn't like, then pulled out the entire wattyl colour swatch and suggested a couple from there. We're getting Winter Mushroom on all our walls - this is considered a white, but not sure if it's part of their 'standard range' as these words were not mentioned at all....
