Gisborne Willows

Documenting my journey building the Waldorf 48 with Porter Davis in Gisborne

I've Been Framed!

So last week (Friday to be exact) I got a call from our SS to inform me that Slab was poured and that the Framer was scheduled to start that same day but got called to fix another job and would start Saturday. On Sunday my wife, kids and I went for a drive to check out the house (not a lock anymore) and to see how much framing had been done. No frames, but all material delivered and markings in the slab indicating placements.

During the call on Friday my SS also asked if I would like to meet out on site on Monday morning, which I eagerly took him up on, so this morning I ventured out with minimal expectations, but wow!

I am beginning to think that all of my problems with PD are with their Admin (this doesn't include Sales or Accounts). My SS was bang on 8am and the framer was already on the job. 

SS walked me through the site, introduced me to framer who seemed pretty switched on. Both parties believe the frame will be done in 2 full weeks (we will see) and framer expressed great confidence in the build (having done a few similar now, including the other Waldorf opposite us).

After work, took a drive by the block and low and behold, more deliveries (Yellow Tongue flooring and the floor joists) and a few frames knocked up. Fun times!!!
