So I snuck over to the house this weekend to see if there was anything to report and, boy, did I get a surprise. After a couple of quieter weeks, a lot has been happening over the last 7 days.
First thing I saw was the garage door, which I think looks great. I recall this being an upgrade at our selections appointment, and in my opinion it looks really good. Other exterior changes are:
- The final render coat has been applied to the façade
- The timber window frames have been stained
- The in-fill above the bi-fold doors has been completed
But it was the interior, where I had the biggest surprise - we have flooring. The carpet has been laid upstairs and the timber flooring has been laid downstairs. Additionally:
- The staircase has been stained
- The bath has been installed and fitted off
I am also pleased to report that the plumbing in the downstairs powder room has finally been fixed and we have the mixer we originally selected.
We have had a message from our site supervisor today, wanting to book in an appointment for the final inspection - it could be as early as this Friday.
Here are the pics

The staircase has been stained, but it looks as though one of the hand-rails is going to be removed... |
Finally, following a comment on my previous post, I did a search for the Wembley 35 on the Porter Davis web-site. Sure enough, the Wembley 35 page is gone, so it looks as though the house is not being offered any more. There is no question it's a great design, so I can only assume they have more profitable products to offer clients nowadays.
Congrats, been great following your journey, please let us know how u get on with your driveway, blinds etc, good luck! Your place looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have to confess that I am pretty happy with how the façade and interior looks, especially considering we (like you) bought off the plan. My plan is keep this blog running post hand-over until... well, until I get bored I guess. From your previous comments, sounds like your build is progressing quickly. Hope it is going well.
