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.

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!

Plates - but no cutlery!

Yesterday we decided to fit some wall plates to the theatre room, as the house was open and the rendering guys were working.

A few pictures - the render colour will end up being "slate" which is more of a grey colour.
