I can understand that the delays may feel stressful, so if you feel that I can be of assistance please direct message me and we can try reach a solution. Regards, Ebony We met the SS on Friday, went through the issues and he was happy to fix most of them. He's planning to have them fixed by the 7th and we'll be doing the handover on the 8th and appliances on the 9th. The only bit that's worrying me now is that just in case they don't fit the appliances on 9th (Friday), we'll be stuck with no appliances through the long weekend.. Hi baronx, I’m pleased to hear that the issues are being resolved and fixed. I know being left with no appliances over a long weekend isn’t ideal so I’m really hoping that handover does occur on the 8th. Let us know how it goes. Good luck. Ebony Porter Davis Homes Questions?

Sent from my iPhone so please excuse my spelling mist cakes Hi cattycatcat, sorry for not publishing any updates as we’ve been flat out for the past couple of weeks with the moving etc.. In a nutshell, we did the handover of the house on the 9th, and there were a few outstanding issues which the SS agreed in writing to fix soon after. Now, over 10 days later, I have called the SS numerous times & not once has he returned my calls and some of the issues have not been addressed at all. It’s such a drastic change in the attitude of the SS where he was getting these issues fixed quickly before handover and now once we have handed over the money, he just can’t be bothered. Major outstanding issues are: * The rangehood is blowing air onto the cooktop as one of it's part hasn’t been installed. The part was left on site, but no screws were there so I couldn’t do it myself! * We have an angular kitchen benchtop and one corner of the Caesarstone benchtop wasn’t installed at handover. As per the SS, this was booked in for installation on the day of handover, but wasn’t installed till 2 days after handover . Now the finish of the benchtop is nowhere near what we expected as the joint width in the Caesarstone benchtop is 2mm which is wider that the maximum allowed as per the manufacturer's specification and there's a dark stain running along both sides of the joint. * Also, one panel of our wooden sliding door is bowed and is banging in the fixed panel when sliding. This was noted in the PCI inspection report, but wasn't fixed. I messaged Ebony (from TeamPD) yesterday and someone called me today to check with what was wrong with the rangehood. They were supposed to ring back to book an appointment, but it seems that they need more time to fix something so trivial. One thing’s for sure.. whether PD fixes these issues or not, its goanna leave a bad taste in my mouth. Re: Porter Davis Forestdale 29 in Tarneit - We've got the ke 78Mar 21, 2012 3:29 am baron, such a shame, I am sure "Ebony" will be on here to make it sound like everything is fixed and smooth though! Friends of ours had a similar issue, they called their SS every 30 minutes until he answered and then called their BC constantly with an email reminder every hour. They seemed to eventually get the idea that they should fix their problems as it was done after 2 days of this. Don't give up and do not let them give you excuse after excuse. Apart from the sour stuff, how is the new house going? Its sad when people post negatives about thier huge investment and can't post how much fun they are having in their new home.
