We then went to just the national tiles next doors and they were on sale for 59 dollars each. Is the major price difference due to labour? I am feeling a bit ripped off.... Re: Porter Davis homes 7872Aug 17, 2013 10:15 pm ajd78 Thanks, we are not in a position where we can go there tonight (and yes, I would move my car onto the street also)... I have just sent a text message to the site supervisor - which I hated doing But I'm not really sure what the protocol is for something like this... Plus they drive an expensive car so I assume PD would not be happy if it happened... Hi ajd78, I've sent a message to the building manager but his first port of call will be the SS, who you have already contacted . Am hoping your neighbours can park on the street for this evening until we can get this sorted. Really sorry for the inconvenience to both you and your neighbours. Someone will be in touch ASAP to have the temp fencing issue rectified. Regards, Helen Porter Davis Homes Questions?

I don't know if he is expensive or not but that is what he said... So maybe not so unrealistic. Re: Porter Davis homes 7875Aug 21, 2013 8:38 pm Hi All, Its been a bit quite in here... Hope all building works is progressing well.. We are on day 2 of frames - it is amazing how quick they are going up really!! Re: Porter Davis homes 7876Aug 21, 2013 8:44 pm We are onto day 2 of frames too but our guys must be slower we have lots of cut wood but that's it And just saw you updated blog ajd78 happy for you but boo why doesn't mine look like that! And we have had 3 guys for 2 days Re: Porter Davis homes 7877Aug 21, 2013 9:02 pm Our slab is due to be poured Friday or Saturday depending on weather. Oh the joy of building in winter! I have to say though our site is the cleanest site I have ever seen. Every bit of rubbish even the mesh off cuts are in the rubbish cage. Re: Porter Davis homes 7878Aug 21, 2013 10:14 pm Clairemumto5 - I must say we have been pretty lucky with weather over here... We have had rain overnight and sunny days.. I believe the weather over your side has been scattered... I think that plays a part for sure. I look forward to seeing pics of yours... I had to introduce myself to the guys today... I didn't want them to think I was a stalker! lol Backpocket - good luck with the slab... If its any consulation, they poured ours in "shower" weather... Will keep fingers crossed for you for the next few days... Re: Porter Davis homes 7879Aug 21, 2013 10:15 pm Back Pocket Our slab is due to be poured Friday or Saturday depending on weather.
