Hi! Welcome to our Porter Davis Cremorne 41. This site will follow the progress of our home from the start, through every stage until the end. We will try and include as many photos as we can along the way. Why do you care? You probably don't - unless you are building or thinking of building your own place, or unless you are one of our friends or relatives. Strap yourself in - it's going to be a long and bumpy ride!

Lights and Plaster

During the last couple of days the sparkies have been back to move some downlights, and the plasterer has been repairing the holes.

We are now waiting on the painter, roof tiler, interior tiler and some odds and ends to be sorted before we can do a handover. One of the problems we have is weather related - the tiler can't do the balcony tiles until this darn rain stops! No firm date for handover - but we are working towards Monday the 28th July.


Very happy with the location of the lights


The old and the new


Red spots are being addressed



The garage floor has had a touch up

A couple of people have asked why the lights had to be changed - when we planned our lights we gave some careful consideration to where we wanted the lights, especially over the kitchen work area. In practical terms, the lights could not be placed exactly where we had them on the plan, as the heating and cooling ducts were larger than shown on the plan - the sparkie had to make some changes, but we were not happy with the lighting of the bench.

Having said that, we are very happy with the new arrangement.

Hi perry

You are very close now, it may drag on a bit, as the tradies have to come back to rectify your issues. Make sure, before accepting handover you are completely happy & satisfied, if not dont accept handover.
We had 5 pages on our PCI forms plus a few extra, all were fixed before we accepted handover.

All the best,

Chat soon
