This one is all about staircases, I surprised myself with how much information I have learnt about PD's Staircases and wonder if I will ever need it again after this build. Check it out at: https://forsyth35blog.wordpress.com/201 ... ase-leads/ Cheers C. Again a great read, thanks for writing it very detailed. I can relate myself been gone through some of the pain points while discussing the staircase with PD, i wish i had this much wisdom on staircases before. Btw i guess you are doing flooring post handover, do you mind sharing the details of what have you finalized. Thanks. Hi Thanks and yes we are doing it post hand over. I can make that my next blog. When I start out writing a blog I think, oh I'll write about this subjet and then it goes off on such a long winded tangent that its already a full blog about somthing I never ment to write about lol Hope you dont mind I stole your staircase photo Ta C. No probs about using the photo. Wordpress sent me a notification that the blog had been linked. It’s good to get the info out there for other customers which is exactly why I write my blog. Re: Porter Davis homes 16071Jan 11, 2018 8:26 pm World_Of_Waldorf Waldorf_Grange_Build Our laminate flooring is in. I’m happy with the colour....but not with these tiny sections of quad at each of the pillars with metal strips in between. Any suggestions on what would make this look better. We are going to speak to our site supervisor about it.

Given how expensive they are it has been a major waste of money down the drain for PD. I did a whole blog post on the damaged colourtech. So disappointing. We were meant to be in our house already and this pic was taken today. Still damaged.

PD offer a $10k package however we are looking for cat 2/3 so that is going to probably add another 10k on top. From previous comments on here I am leaning towards post handover but bit concerned about the skirting. We don’t want to have to do it later, so how do you deal with the heights? Are flooring places generally good with advising how far off the ground for the builder to follow? Is it worth doing? Re: Porter Davis homes 16079Jan 12, 2018 9:45 pm Hi Shane, we decided to do the timber flooring through PD and will do the carpets after handover hence avoiding the issue with the skirting. It will also save us close to a week of time. Re: Porter Davis homes 16080Jan 12, 2018 10:34 pm shane3340 What’s everyone’s thoughts on doing flooring though PD vs post handover?
