But so frustrating to drive past my block and see not much progress since last Monday's site scrape. We were told Thursday for slab pour but this seems highly highly unlikely given how little has been done to prep it. I shall just live vicariously through your build instead MP! hey cinderella, sometimes it seems like nothing is getting done but once it starts it just goes, i think there is alot that goes on behind the scences at porter davis but if you have a good s/s its amazing how things just seem to happen. Plus being excited about the build makes you feel like "just Hurry". I know excatly how you feel! Re: Porter Davis homes 6054Sep 11, 2012 11:37 am monkeypantz Pictures of last week's progress are now on the blog Looking good monkeypantz! Its getting closer! Least ur place looks nice and clean. Ours looks like a mess and wish i could just go there and clean it up, sometimes i dont know how these tradies can work in such a mess...... Re: Porter Davis homes 6055Sep 11, 2012 11:42 am Our SS called this morning with the following update: With the good weather today the remaining cladding on the exterior will be completed today Tiles will be finished by the end of this week PCI is booked for 10 October with Settlement expected 17 October Re: Porter Davis homes 6056Sep 11, 2012 12:13 pm Has anyone got flyscreens/screen doors through porter davis that seem to be very fragile and flimsy? Re: Porter Davis homes 6058Sep 11, 2012 2:15 pm Doreen_Kallara33 Has anyone got flyscreens/screen doors through porter davis that seem to be very fragile and flimsy? Check. I actually didn't get a screen door flyscreen on my sliding door. Master bed one was damaged but we only noticed it when the wind started up on our 2nd night and it started tapping out of control against the master bed window frame. Kept us up for a few nights before I located the issue and it was the damaged flyscreen. I stuck a bit of foam in there to stop it shaking about. Other damaged ones were picked up before handover (from what I can remember anyway with all the other issues we had). In fact the windows period seemed a bit flimsy and some had to be straightened before handover. 3 month maintenance is gonna be an absolute DOOZY!!!. Until then I like to think that my PD relationship is like one with an old girlfriend that went really bad and ended horrible. I just want to avoid contact unless its absolutely necessary. ... she can keep my good jeans and favorite jacket for now... its not worth it... Re: Porter Davis homes 6059Sep 11, 2012 2:32 pm Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone took up the promotion late last year to pay $1000 andhave PD landscape and do the front driveway of your new home? I'm just interested as to if anyone has taken up this offer and/or the quality?

Actually I had the whole week off and was as sick as a dog. I noted everything and documented this with photos too. Thought I might have been up for wr given there were some 'light' things in there too. But I'm not too handy and they said they'd do things week 1 but didn't. But the guy was super nice, seemed super honest and I was impressed. He actually inspected many things on his own and showed me tonnes of things to undo / remove / open things. And it tool nearly 2 hours at a leisurely pace. I was very pleasantly surprised. Doesn't mean it'll translate to them 'doing' anything and I'm certainly not keen for the tradie procession again, but will report back in a month. PS I do remember they did try and book me in for the inspection at 2 months, not 3, and I very politely told them to bugger off !! Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12344 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74715 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
