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!

Render

So - you thought that you wouldn't see another entry from us until after our PCI (which is tomorrow)? Wrong! Went for a stroll to the house this morning as we knew the render guys were hard at it yesterday.

We were a bit surprised that the house was open (garage door could be lifted, and then the internal access door was unlocked), so took a few inside shots. Not much has changed, so there will be lots to talk about tomorrow with SS.


Render colour is "Maudsland" (because we know you will ask...)





The finish on the render looks fantastic. Bagged and painted would have been cheaper, but the extra cost for the render is worth it.


From the front door - down to the rumpus room

Laundry - previous shots have had the basin covered


Render from the balcony. Tiling needs to be completed on the balcony floor


Mirror has been installed in the ensuite


We now have fly screens


This shot shows the drain hole for the balcony. Andy and Simone have one on each side. These houses are all the same - but different!

Here's looking at you!

Yes, we have mirrors - almost. Two out of three mirrors have been installed.

We are thinking that as with everything else regarding the vanity in the ensuite, the height of the vanity has been stuffed up - and the mirror as supplied was the wrong size. That's the theory, anyway.

We must admit that the colour of the render was not quite as dark as we had thought, but it something we can live with. It should look better once the garage door has been installed.

Ok. Pictures: Mirrors, ducted vacuum points, cover on the heater box (externally), render....



Render is well under way



Close up of the colour - bit lighter than we originally thought.



Balcony



Open duct....



... closed duct.



Our tap fills the bath ok - just!
The best part is that it swings out of the way when you don't need it.
