Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 8382Oct 25, 2013 10:12 am Nathan+89 Yes i was trying to pm. Am i able to take it down? Sorry about that. I think you can edit and delete Nathan Re: Porter Davis homes 8383Oct 25, 2013 10:14 am nique01 Hi skye02, we have phoned our SS this mornign. He thinks we won't be able to change it but is checking. If we can it will hod up the build by 1-2 weeks. We could always do it after handover, I just thought I would see if anyone had any luck with changing tiles. We are in the last stage, only 3 or so weks left so it is late but tiles have only just finished so only got to see it yesterday. So they have already tiled it but you want it taken down and changed? It is hard picking from tiny little samples in the show room. For example i want to change the colour of my front door and PD wont let me Ive picked Manor Red and i have seen it on another house and didnt like it much - it looked much brighter in the display room. I have asked for Chocolate Cherry Red and they said no - so i guess i will have to do that after handover. Let me know how you go. It interesting to know what PD will let you change and what they wont. Re: Porter Davis homes 8384Oct 25, 2013 10:19 pm skye02 nique01 Hi skye02, we have phoned our SS this mornign.

It interesting to know what PD will let you change and what they wont. Yeah they have already tiled and thought we would see it we could pay to get it changed. Our SS got back to us this afternoon and said this can't be done. Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine but if it really bothers me then I will get it changed after handover. It's annoying that you can't change things though. It's so hard choosing from samples. I'm surprised they wouldn't change your door colour, you would think this would be easy to do. Re: Porter Davis homes 8385Oct 27, 2013 7:58 pm tlblhayward Really love Marriot 48, but my land is only 16.76m , a bit narrow for Marriot 48. Hopefully PD can bring back Marriot 44 too Re: Porter Davis homes 8386Oct 28, 2013 7:52 pm Hi All, Would anyone know what the comparison to essastone new basmati would be in the Caesarstone range? Looking online i'd say nougat or ocean foam possibly. We are after a white benchtop with grey specs, no warm/beige tones please. If anyone knows that'll be helpful.... Thank you Re: Porter Davis homes 8387Oct 28, 2013 9:17 pm looking forward to slab pics tomorrow Inglewood! I really need some good news. Met the SS on site on Thursday and I think it was too much for him, nothing has happened at the house since! Would not even give us an idea of a possible date, so it's still April for us. Perhaps we'll be moving in together Re: Porter Davis homes 8388Oct 29, 2013 6:07 am Best of luck for today, Inglewood! (From a lurker of this forum) Re: Porter Davis homes 8389Oct 29, 2013 6:43 am Thanks guys! Dunno if it's happening today or not... Yesterday I went past the block at lunch time and there were builders there with the timber for boxing in the slab. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Not sure if slab will happen today if this was how it was at midday yesterday????? Hubby will text our SS and see when it's going to happen.

Re: Porter Davis homes 8394Oct 29, 2013 10:46 am All the best Inglewood for the pour. Exciting. Just caught up on a week of forum activity. Lots happening. We are STILL unpacking! Waiting for phone connection also so no Internet for computer, just my mobile. Lots happening. Driveway is prepped, being poured Friday. Pool now has a fence, electricals set up, filters going on next week, heavy duty cover removed just now. The water looks erky!!!! Couple of weeks it will be all cleaned up.

All the best inglewood. you must be excited. After the slabs done things will happen pretty soon fingers crossed. Re: Porter Davis homes 8396Oct 30, 2013 6:45 am Hi Everyone, I've been reading the forum for quite a while now and looking at everyone's kitchens and bathrooms for inspiration. I'm building the Montague 19 with extended kitchen, garage and master bedroom with my partner Jade for our first home. We had our site scrape on Monday which was very exciting after losing 6 months and a fair chunk of money on Rivergum Constructions! I have to say PD have been great through the whole process. We only signed our contracts on 29/09 and already at site! Is anyone building a similar sized house with PD that may be able to tell me if we might get to lockup before Christmas? Thanks Brian Re: Porter Davis homes 8397Oct 30, 2013 7:59 am Hi Brian, I'm also building an access house. Just for your reference we had a site start date of 28th of August, and we were at lock up on 18th of October. Good luck http://chrysteeporterdavis.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Porter Davis homes 8398Oct 30, 2013 2:40 pm Great news on christmas date skye! Scaffolding came down today looks much more real without it, plaster starts next week And the finished render looks awesome! Tones completely dependant on how bright the day islove the effect Re: Porter Davis homes 8399Oct 30, 2013 6:04 pm So jealous clairemumto5! Our eaves only started today. Roof scaffolding down yesterday so at least there is progress. Re: Porter Davis homes 8400Oct 30, 2013 8:31 pm Yay Claire... That is great news... Your house looks amazing... I cant wait til our scaffolding comes down either.. We had a catch up with our SS last week.. All going well on our front. He is such a good bloke. He said that plastering was starting this week, then after that they will do stairs, cabinets and then painting.. He expects that to be finished by approx. 18th November... And the way he works I don't doubt it. We still don't have a garage and we now have to have a retaining wall built first but all very positive. Im loving this building experience so far!
