We are finally in our home...............
Well after months of driving up to the house walking thru, looking thru windows to see whats been done, we finally got our keys last thursday, what a great feeling to be greated by our s/s and getting a text message asking us where we are!
Tonight im sitting at that kitchen bench having some time out from unpacking and thought i would share our experence's.
I have to say walking up too the house your emotions are running high and i think a tear in the eye is just the normal, you feel like all the pressure is gone.
The feeling of standing in your new kitchen is amazing, going thru all that needeed to be completed, and what still has to be done.
We excepted handover after signing a few things that need to be completed, headed off to the PD office to pay the final installement, and pick up our keys. The best part was our orginal B/C was there to handover the keys, we were just so thrilled for her being there, i nearly jumped the counter!
Sitting there i was looking around and thinking this is where we started out about a year ago and the funny thing is seeing others waiting for their tender appionments!
Anyway drove back to the house and the tradies were installing the appliances, the rest of the day was just a blur!
This being my last blog for quite a while we would like to thank a few people.
To a person who's blog (porter davis waldorf) was amazing to us by the name ynot.
To our first B/C she was great for her patience and understanding our needs and got us what we wanted in our home.
To our S/S just fantastic, what a great guy and he's workmanship was just great.
The negatives:
Our B/C was just non existant, it was a real shame that we had to deal with someone that never returned calls, was always out of the office when you called or on the phone, or that weekly call that came three weeks in a row then not again for ages, you give up waiting!. Thats is something PD should really look at, cause it lets the company down.
The area manager that put so much pressure on us at the very first meeting to sign up,and told us if you cant afford to sign up now, we should not even be looking! we just walked away and got a apology a weel later from sales consulant. WELL now we are in our porter davis home.
There was no Waldorf 44 display home with a sterling facade or any other facade, and with the $3999.00 promo offer with hebel build, so people like us that had no idea about hebel could see what it was all about. Thankgod for the internet!
AND IF YOU ASKED US WOULD YOU BUILD WITH PORTER DAVIS AGAIN OUR ANSWER WOULD BE: YES.

7 days to HANDOVER..............
We got a call from our s/s yesterday informing us what he has planned for the week and handover will be next thursday.
I really think PD should really be grateful for some of the people they have working for them, we cannot say enough of good things about our S/S, keeping us informed and trying he's best i guess, but on the other hand some of the office staff i wounder what they are there for!, We havnt heard from our b/c for weeks and thankgod there was another lady in the office that does the same work, she has done everything straight away for us in the past couple of days. i guess you have to be lucky whom you get allocated as your B/C.
With a few phone calls got the gas pipe and meter organized for insullation, (Reckon i should get a job a PD).Pipe was installed the day before last and meter is going in today.
The last couple of days have been so fustrating not knowing when it will take place, you are sort of in limbo,do you take time off from work cause it could change again?,orgainize removalists? theres alot to plan i guess.
I think when you are nearly at the end of your build you either cant wait or you just get over it all.
Anyway today i will organize the window coverings, the driveway man, fences are done, ring and get electrcity and gas ready for connection for after handover.
I guess this week it will be a time to relax,enjoy and look forward to whats ahead of us.......And im going to try and keep away from the house till then so it will be more exiciting........yeah lets see...............

The awaited P.C.I DAY.......................
This morning we meet up with our s/s and had our PCI, it went for about 31/2 hours but we got thru it all. there was'nt to much that needed to be done, more paint touch ups, cleaning of house and a few other things that our s/s said he was not happy with. (we didnt even notice so thats what i call a good s/s.)
We have a problem that is going to delay our handover, its the GAS SUPPLY to house, s/s has been trying to get it installed and i also called when we got home, they said they will cal back tomorrow!
otherwise s/s said we would have had handover by the end of the week. A real shame.
I keep you guys posted with what the outcome is and spread the news when we find out...........fingers crossed.

On the home strecth......
It is all falling into place, this week the peices that were missing have all been getting completed.
Everything that was included in the promo at the time of signing was installed, You seem to forget what was included and what wasn't, ie. taps, fly screen, mouldings. I think we were pretty lucky with the promo that was being offered at the time.
And to think just 6 months ago it all started from this colour selection we made up.(now it will go on the wall in the garage just as a reminder!)
Tomorrow is our P.C.I and its all pretty exciting, lets just hope theres not to many things wrong.
I guess this is nearing the end of my blog, i'll let you know how the P.C.I went and when handover will take place.
Here are a few pics we were lucky to get while the cabinet maker was there.......

From months to weeks and now only days away.......
Its all happening and i feel like a little kid counting the sleeps.
Our s/s has been organizing everything to be completed and its really great now that its getting close, a few let downs with the tradies damaging things that are all ready completed and having to redo jobs. Our p.c.i is booked for next monday and as our s/s is on holidays this week, but work is still getting done. Went for a drive today and painters where there finshing off everywhere there were little stickers.
Carpet was laid, tiles that were chipped were replaced, just awaiting the cupboard above fridge to be installed again for the third time!
Our splashback was installed also today but it with the wrong finish, so they had to come back and remove it and now will have to await for a new one to be installed so i hope this does not effect our p..c.i or handover.
Our fences will start to be installed tomorrow also.
Here a few a pics, hope you enjoy and thankyou you for your nice messages.

Sterling facade with hebel, timber windows and cedar timber garage door stained as rest of woodwork.(the railing will go after handover for maybe for a more simple design)
This is the way its coming along.............
