I will see what she says. I am not having quads. Yuck. I'd be happy to sign a disclaimer to floor that small section but I'm unsure if that can even be done yet. When I spoke to the carpenter responsible for my build, he mentioned that PD do not tack skirting boards anymore. They used to be happy to do it, but they had a whole bunch of unreasonable customers who insisted that PD had to repaint / touch-up / repair the skirtings after the floorboards were installed even though the floors were done after handover. (which I have to agree is grossly unfair to expect PD to repair damages done non-PD tradies) PD then decided they weren't going to tack them anymore to put and end to all the disputes, which I think is fair enough.. totally agree that others have wrecked it for us all. Re: Porter Davis homes 7015Apr 05, 2013 12:11 pm A little melodramatic.... ^^ When we started building we wanted the skirts left off as another member who was also building with PD at the same time 'Rups' was having, but was told we MUST have them tacked on to get the occupancy certificate. We argued that some very modern minimalist style homes dont have any skirts, but we were ignored. We were forced to do this which caused damage and a lot of extra work filling holes, sealing gaps, re-painting as well as damage to the walls. We later found out this was not a requirement at all!! Why the Northen office says yes and the Eastern office says no was just another one of those, shake your head and give in moments. Re: Porter Davis homes 7017Apr 05, 2013 8:14 pm Hi All, I'm new to this forum! We had our tile and contract appointments today. It's been a roller coaster ride. I've been reading back about the quads etc and when I get my head around it all will bombard you with questions as I'm sure some people are more advanced than us! Good luck with your builds! http://ourgroveblog.wordpress.com Re: Porter Davis homes 7018Apr 05, 2013 8:26 pm I attended to home show today and was told by two floor layers i will not need quad around the island. They should be able do it with caulk. There is hope for my waterfall Caesar yet.

Some sort of filler, putty or silicone??
