It seems that Online Media is a great way of sharing your experiences, and it’s interesting to see who is following the progress of our home.

Surprisingly my new neighbour (who is yet to have their house completed) dropped in last night after reading my website, and recent entry regarding site debris.

They were kind enough to supply me the now-current site supervisor for their Porter Davis Lifestyle home, so we can now pursue the right man to get the job done.

It’s disheartening to hear their Porter Davis experience, like mine and several others I know who have built with Porter Davis, has been less than smooth. Hopefully with some persistence they’ll have all their issues addresses before hand-over.

I’ve just noticed our neighbour’s house is being finalised this week, which is great to see Highlands in Craigieburn starting to populate so rapidly, and it will be great to have another neighbour.

Unfortunately it’s also an indicator I’m going to need to chase down next door’s site supervisor again, because he failed to deliver on his promise to clean the mortar from my house which was a result of the brickies constructing the double-story.

This is yet again another Porter Davis tale, as the house next door is also being build by Porter Davis in the lifestyle range.

I have mortar stuck to my glass, and at least one ruined fly screen from this, not to mention the door which will need another re-paint. It’s disappointing that I’ve had to chase this site supervisor on three occasions in the past five months only to end up with the same result.

I will place hopefully my final call to the site supervisor tomorrow to have this addressed.

I’m still waiting to hear on the matter of the retaining wall, but I’m not holding my breath.
