I have a question... Did you notice rather large gaps in the window frames - particularly in the corners? The architraves have only just gone on and I am wondering how they fix this as it seems to be prevalent on all of the windows. Perhaps they fill the gaps with black silicone?

Re: Porter Davis homes 1555Apr 10, 2011 10:00 pm lastone Hi all We have our tender appointment this week so we've been busy on all our variations. I won't be at it so it's all up to hubby! In about a month we have our tile and colours at Hopetoun but I've just realised they are not on the same day like I thought. So we'll have to reschedule one of them as I can't get down to Melbourne twice in 4 days - I gather these appointments aren't the sort of place to take toddlers. It would be wonderful to be child free for 4 days but somehow I dont' think the grandparents will go for it. Can someone tell me about 24/7? We don't have access to it. Would it be usefuil in deciding on decore? I have no clue what I'd like in a home, depsite having been to heaps of displays. i guess the problem with them is that they aren't realistic and are over done. So it's hard to get a good feel for what I think suits us. Hi lastone, We visited both National Tiles and Hopetoun about four times prior to our selections appointments to get an idea on what was available to us and colours. We don't have children, however. Hopetoun and National tiles in port melbourne have childrens areas where there are toys and a tv with childrens movies playing. You know your child best so if you think they can be entertained for a couple of hours in this room, go for it as there is provision for it. The internet is a great tool to get an idea on what is available. We found too that studio M was a good website to visit as they have examples that you can mix and match colours in different areas (even though we aren't building through M'con found it was good to get an idea on interior and exterior colours - really wished PD had something like this as it was a useful tool). check out http://www.studiom.com.au/home. RE 24/7 website, you would have received a letter from your CSC not long after you signed up. Speak to your CSC for access, they should be able to help.

Hi Snoofie, My windows should be going in this week so I'll try and take a look on site later this week to see whether mine have a similar gap. Out of interest, do you have any pictures showing the issue which I could use as a reference, when checking mine?

I agree with your comments and definately will be emailing my CSA and SS today. Cheers....

Hi Chorlton I'll take some pics this week Hi Snoofie Are you refering to where the frames join together in the corners, cause we have the same problem with the architraves which werent quite flush - in our case they have been painted and not been siliconed.... point it out now and ask to see them once they have been filled before they are painted as our painters tried to fill the gaps with paint not silicon.... looks like cr*p.....

The window was held together by the edge of the nail. Also, I don't think silicon can fill this gap!
