This isn't a structural issue, it's purely aesthetic. Should I bring it up with my SS next time he calls me or should I just let it go and live with it? Thanks in advance Bring it up, we had the same issue, and they swapped it out.. it would be covered during the PCI anyways.

How many days for your build does that make? Seems amazingly fast for such a bit house Thanks waterman, the house has taken 156 days to build which I think is amazing. My SS hasn't pushed the build either, we were lucky to have good weather from July to Sept and most importantly that all tradies turned up before schedule. Major hold ups happen at the bricking, painting and tiling stages. Here you can lose a month + if there is delays. Re: Porter Davis homes 4016Dec 14, 2011 9:22 am Hi All, Quick question.... Has anyone run their own cabling during the building works? I would like to run some CAT6 cable to 3-4 rooms and was wondering if anyone has done this and PD were OK with it... Also when is the best time to do this - I am suspecting just before plastering Any feedback would be great 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 4018Dec 14, 2011 9:42 am Hi All, for those of you wanting a PCI checklist here is a great site I found thru this forum. http://www.anewhouse.com.au/?p=296 Ivanhoe 36 Dep:18-4-11 Tender:26-5-11 Colour/Electrical:8-6-11 Contract:29-6-11 Building Permit:6-7-11 Site Start:16-8-11 PCI:10-1-12 Handover:24-1-12 http://eli-kay-ivanhoe36.blogspot.com/ Re: Porter Davis homes 4019Dec 14, 2011 10:08 am cattycatcat Wooow... All this progress in such a short amount of time. I love catching up on everyone else's build and reading all your comments.. How did people even build a house before Homeone? Hehe. So any who I actually have a question.. My MIL was checking out the photos we took at the house over the weekend and noticed something we didn't.. We have 3 glass sliding doors, on one of the doors at the top the metal has been bent out of shape and some of the paint has been scratched off. This isn't a structural issue, it's purely aesthetic. Should I bring it up with my SS next time he calls me or should I just let it go and live with it? Thanks in advance Hi Cattycatcat, I love reading everyone’s updates too and being able to offer assistance where I can. I agree with Sammyjane31, I think it’s best to bring everything up with your SS, even some of the minor things. If it isn’t something they would fix, I’m sure they would be the best person to give you some DIY tips on it. Let us know how you go. Cheers, Ebony Porter Davis Homes Questions?
