If you have something that must be changed then keep pushing for it! I am building Access too and they are more strict about changes than the other PD brands but if it's important don't give in, they can make changes they just don't like more work Re: Porter Davis homes 4414Jan 29, 2012 10:16 am As of Wednesday we are at lock up (without door locks and handles)and on Saturday saw the guys do the plaster on the ceiling and walls and should be finished on Monday.

Great news SJ31 - your build is going really quick... I have just posted an update on my blog, ours has been slow the last week while we await the scaffolding tomorrow. In the meantime I have drawn up a rough landscaping plan for after handover. Quick question to this forum - anyone contracted someone to do sleeper retaining walls. Need to get an idea of costs.

Your brickies will be back to work on the 2nd storey in no time! Your facade looks absolutely amazing! We are thinking crushed rocks on both sides of our house too, but grass will on one side of the front yard (corner side of the block) as the driveway sits on our property line on the other. Our patio is on the side so we are thinking decking right outside the patio but will be looking at eco decking which is made up of recycled plastic and wood so you never have to sand it and re coat it.Probably more expensive but alot cheaper in the long run. We will also be doing the work ourselves probably next summer.lol Forrestdale 27 Land Titled:4/11/11 Building Permit:4/11/11 Site Start Date: 16/11/11 Slab Date: 01/12/11 Frame Date:05/12/11 http://hordefamilyhome.blogspot.com/ Re: Porter Davis homes 4417Jan 30, 2012 10:57 am Sammyjane31 Looks great Alpal!

I would have loved to do concrete or paving down the sides but that would have costed a fortune - might have to wait a couple of years before doing that. Thats a great idea about using the eco deck - is it much more expensive then normal decking wood? Might have to look seriously into this as I am dreading having to restain decking every 6-12 months.
