Is there a limit as to how far away the drain-pipe can be? Somehow my sink is about 2 cabinets away from the drain-pipe which means the plumber is going to hack through THREE sections just to get to the pipe /quote] Hi jnkbids, I have raised your concerns about this matter with the Regional Business Manager.

I have now gone back to the drawing board with exterior colours as we really like some of the Austral bricks! Colours appointment in a couple of weeks though, so I am feeling the pressure. I wish I could go to Hopetoun during the week, as I only work part time!

Very interesting. They seem to be streamlining it a bit now. Hopefully this happens with other areas too! We have our colour selection this Monday and we had already chosen a Cat 2 Boral brick. I had seen it on a number of houses too so I know what it looks like. The thing is, I have no idea what any of the Austral bricks look like in person. Certainly does put the pressure on but remember, you can choose from Boral or Austral for a little while longer! Re: Porter Davis homes 7237May 08, 2013 1:42 pm ftd, I went to look at some this morning around the neighbourhood, as we originally wanted a lighter brick but none of the tones of the Boral ones really seemed to suit us. I really like the Ash but have to choose a render colour. I might go to Bunnings and get some paint chips today.. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a482/meowsy1/P5070373_zps6f5e3a41.jpg Our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64705 Re: Porter Davis homes 7238May 08, 2013 1:45 pm meowsy ftd, I went to look at some this morning around the neighbourhood, as we originally wanted a lighter brick but none of the tones of the Boral ones really seemed to suit us.

Just DM me your email address and I can email them to you if you like! Re: Porter Davis homes 7239May 08, 2013 2:29 pm Ftdt we had the same thoughts as we live an hour away from our build and both work long hours we had an independent inspector go through and when we could get down anything that we noticed had already been found buy ss and was already organized to be rectified our inspector said that our build was the best he had seen for a volume builder in quite some time.
