Would love to hear if anyone has actually got a "sweet deal" there?
We did buy a rug there, which I have seen one at Target which is smaller but the same type, we paid $170 and the smaller one at Target is $200.
So we got a little sweet deal

Drawing is in: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi Roshi, I hope I understand your question and I don't know if this helps you but as per my plans of the garage walls. I have plaster on the back wall as it backs on the rumpus and plaster on the wall where the door entering the house as it backs onto the entry hall. The side of the wall that is free e.g. not backing onto anything is bricked. If you don't have a room backing onto the back wall of your garage then I would say it will be brick faced. I would think it's the same for all PD homes but I could be wrong.

At the PCI you could verify each & everything of the house & if you see any defects, you could let the supervisor know, so they will rectify it before the handover. Generally PD would take 7 days from the PCI to the handover, but practically this would drag based on the defects of the final product. PCI stage comes after the Fix stage & the following items would be carried out in the building. At the end of the PCI Stage the Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. (The following details I have extracted from the Porter Davis Site - 24x7) Practical Completion Inspection: Preparing for completion: Final fit-offs occur which involves completing the electrical, plumbing, alarm, vacuum and heating systems. All door furniture, doorstops, mirrors, shower screens and floor coverings will be installed where applicable. Paint touch-ups, cleaning, caulking of wet areas and articulation joints, and site cleaning have been completed. Final inspections for the certificate of occupancy and compliance will be completed. Now that your home has been completed you will be required to meet your Construction Supervisor on site to inspect your new home together. Please note that no appliances will be fitted until settlement has been arranged to avoid theft or damage. You will then be required to meet your Supervisor for a final inspection of your home prior to settlement. eli-kay123 Sorry to ask a silly question but can someone tell me what a PCI is.
