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!

Locked out

Thanks for the feedback yesterday on feature walls. Bernadette is keen on the full treatment, but I'm not so sure (which actually doesn't make any difference!). I've included another picture to help the decision.

House was locked up today, so shots are from outside. Tiles have been delivered, stairs stained, garage doors painted, and I have the pictures to prove it!

Tiles and more paint.

Tiles! Roof tiles that is. Visited the house yesterday and the painters were still hard at it (and will be until late this week). The roof tilers were also on site and were tiling the garage, and finishing the tiles over the rumpus room.

The paint is really staring to make the house look livable. More pictures (of course!)

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.
