This information is available at http://mydreamhouse4u.blogspot.com.au/p ... -plan.html I also added a counter to show how many days gone since the site start date. I must focus more on the content than the decorations but I also added a page view counter to show how many users have accessed the site within a week.

Once less headache to worry about Custom downslope build Build thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61873 Blog http://www.buildingroyalmanor.blogspot.com.au Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis in Berwick 16Mar 20, 2014 8:35 pm We received a call from our BC and SS to confirm slab stage is completed. We went to the site and we were really happy to see the slab is poured. We went around the site and noticed they haven't put retaining walls. Isn't the retaining wall is part of slab (first) stage? Has anyone had similar experience with their build? Thanks!! Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis in Berwick 17Mar 21, 2014 11:41 am Had a confirmation from PD that retaining walls should have been completed in stage one. Now they are planning visit the site an evaluate what is been done. We are hoping to hear from them next week. Slab level is lower than the nature strip. Before the cut the land did not have noticeable decline of land height. Here is the image of the front with the view towards neighbouring house.

Our land had about 1 meter fall with slope which is hardly noticeable. At the end of first week we went to check the land and saw Porter Davis had done the excavation. I soon noticed the cut of the front garden is too deep which could result in a slope towards house. Our personal view is the cut the land more than what is required (may be a mistake?). Last week after they completed the slab and it became more prominent that slope is inevitable unless make some modifications. This was never agreed and we hope PD will provide a solution. We do not want water coming towards house when there is rain. Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis in Berwick 20Mar 26, 2014 8:25 pm Pinoy_nz Good to hear someone is building the Bermuda 23.
