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!

Lots of activity!

Quite a lot of activity over the past few days - work was happening on Friday and Saturday. We have the gutter and fascia installed on the garage, the remaining brickwork completed, the fix all but complete, the painting started, cabinets all in, shelves all in, all doors hung - and more!

Sorry - lots of pictures, may take a while to load!

It seems there was a bit of a screw up with the height of the vanities in the ensuite. The cabinet should be another 118 mm from the floor, which would bring the bowls up to the correct height under the taps. The pictures below show you what I mean.

These cupboards should be over 300mm from the floor. Originally, they were to be "floating" (mounted on the wall), however PD changed the specifications as they don't do the floating ones any longer.


If you look closely, you can see the mark on the wall where the top of the bowl should be (yep, I went in with the tape measure!).

Today (Sunday) we visited Fowles to finalise the colours for the laminate floor boards and carpet. We borrowed a door from the kitchen and took it with us to determine what would look best. For all you colour freaks out there, we decided on the Cherry Spice Timber Laminate, and the Godfrey-Hirst Milano Caramel Kiss.
