Has anyone who has done their fences also got a side gate? My fence guy wants $425 for a gate and I have no idea if that is reasonable or not?
Yay!
I have carpet going in today.. not a lot left now!

All in one day Today final coat of render is being painted and plasterers are back to do touch ups. PCI is booked for this coming Monday. Love your house! Is it still the same SS? Thanks builing1... same SS, I couldn't have asked for a better SS. How is your house going, it's been a while since handover? Things are great, a few little things but nothing too big at the 3 month maintenance, we do have a bit of hairline cracking in the garage floor but talking to a few neighbours (not with the same builder) it's a pretty standard occurence. Overall, we love our house! Don't think we would have been as happy with any other builder or SS, he is great at what he does.

Can’t believe that we have the same SS and we both rate him highly. He is defiantly good at his job and I’ve heard that he is one of the best SS at PD. I guess we are lucky to have him build our houses. Re: Porter Davis homes 3959Dec 08, 2011 2:27 pm Wateman Argh! Our old BC is STILL haunting us! Just had a phone call stating that we have received a $6000 discount twice. It was supposed to be off the land, which we were given by the land developer, but then our BC or whoever wrote our contract has put it in our building contract too. I did mention this to our old BC in an email where I asked for clarification on how they came to the base house price. So now we have to have ANOTHER PCV adding on more money, that of course can't be added into the loan as we have already applied. This is on top of the PCV that added another $1000 or so to the smart wiring as they had that wrong originally too. It's so frustrating!! We have the money for this, but were hoping to use this money to pay for driveway/fencing/furniture etc ARGH Waterman, If they have signed the contract with the 6K saving - they have to honour it. I would play hardball with them... This would be like saying the base price has changed since the contract was signed and you need to just live with it - not good enough. If I was in your position I would not accept this and tell them that they need to honour the contract. My 2 cents anyway Cheers, Alpal Building PD Heathmont 40 BLOG: http://alpal-pd-heathmont40.blogspot.com/ Deposit paid 19/08/2011 Contract signing 3/10/2011 Site Start 10/11/2011 Slab 23/11/2011 Re: Porter Davis homes 3960Dec 08, 2011 2:34 pm Alpal Wateman Argh!
