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!

Upper Windows

Yesterday the upper windows went in. Not much more to say about them, so here are some pictures:





Home Network

There's been a lot of interest in the post yesterday regarding our home network. As promised, below are the diagrams showing where the points are in each of the rooms.

These points all go back into a space which is currently under utilised, next to the wardrobe in one of the rear bedrooms. The idea is that after we move in, I will put an access door in from inside the wardrobe and the control box will live in this space. We chose it because of it's proximity to the potential home theatre room below, and because it was quite large.

An upper level location is also important - if we want to drop extra cables in later, we can access it from the roof space.

Roofed!

Lots of activity after the long weekend. We noticed over the weekend that windows and doors for the lower level were put in so the brickies could do their thing.

Today we have a roof and the beginning of a garage. As usual, click on the photo to see a larger version.






Some steel has also been delivered today. At a guess I'd say we are looking at some lintels for the brickwork, and uprights for the retaining wall.
