But... I wanted to post a quick update about Service Requests. The first one we had was due to our furnace leaking and we had puddled water in the basement. Not a huge amount, but enough to know something was not right. We put in a request and the HVAC guy was sent out within a day or two. It was quick and easy. (Although, I am still perplexed as to why our brand new furnace in brand new home would leak!) <br />
<br />
Our second request has not been good. We had A LOT of rain here the Saturday before Christmas. While it was raining, we noticed a leak above the master bathroom tub. It was leaking from the recessed light. It was not a steady pour, but a pretty steady drip. It stopped dripping not long after it stopped raining. I put in a request that night, as soon as we noticed it. We received an email Monday afternoon from our Customer Service Manager that he had sent info to a roofing contractor. I know it was the holidays, but we did not hear from the roofing contractor until 8 days later. He called yesterday, said he'd be here at noon today. We waited and waited. I sent an email again to our CSM just now and the contractor just showed up!<br />
<br />
We have snow coming tonight. My son has a big swim meet this weekend. We are getting more snow Sunday and are supposed to be headed back to work on Monday. I just hope they can get this fixed today!<br />
<br />
Oh, and to follow up on the garage, my CSR told me her manager would be in touch to follow up on the garage/driveway issue. That never happened. :(<br />
<br />
Still love my house. Still hate the garage. Hope this isn't just the beginning of many issues to come!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211702803043029983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801070647102721702.post-5653868520791707522013-11-02T11:06:00.001-07:002013-11-02T11:06:28.374-07:00Another gripe about the garageI'm sure you all are sick of hearing me gripe about the fact that our truck won't fit in the garage. But... now it just keeps getting crazier! My husband moved some thing around so that he could park it in the double bay at a little bit of an angle and planned to park my SMALL Nissan Altima in the single bay. Well.... it won't go... can't make the turn without plowing through the grass to make the curve! Seriously???? What a joke! So, even if we bought a shorter truck, we still couldn't park both vehicles in the garage. Putting them both in the double bay would mean we'd only be able to get in on one side of each of the cars because it's so tight. Ridiculous!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211702803043029983noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801070647102721702.post-14620664796354616152013-10-19T06:57:00.000-07:002013-10-19T07:19:07.342-07:00What I wish I had known.....After moving in and living here for about a month now... I have few regrets.... but there are some things I wish I had known...<br />
<br />
1. Upgrade the pad on the carpet. I can feel every little bump from the subfloor through the carpet.<br />
2. Work with your PM and electrician if you can to move electrical outlets and light switches. I really didn't think this was that big of a deal...and it's not huge... but I have a big china cabinet that lights up and the outlets are next to it instead of behind it. Light switches seem to be in odd places, especially in the basement. I have to go downstairs and around the corner to get to the light switch.<br />
3. Check every single window after you move in and inspect things closely before your 30 day walkthrough. Luckily, it has taken about a week for them to fix things and we keep finding things to fix. We have a great PM, so he just keeps sending people over to fix everything. <br />
4. Ask PM if you can either install toilet paper holders/towel bars yourself, or mark where you want them. Our towel bar in the powder room is up really high and I don't want to deal with patching holes to move it right now. <br />
5. Don't bother with a blower for the fireplace. Ours heats the entire house without the blower.<br />
6. If you bake or host holidays... splurge for the double oven. This is probably the only real regret I have.<br />
7. If you have a handy husband, don't pay for kitchen/bathroom knobs. We were able to pick what we wanted from Menards and installed ourselves for much cheaper and could do pulls on drawers instead of all knobs.<br />
<br />
Things I'm soooo glad we did....<br />
1. The upgraded paint package. We did Pavilion Beige and with the 2 story entry, it looks great. There is no way my husband was going to be able to paint that!<br />
2. Builder built deck. Yes, it's standard, nothing fancy... but it's done. We grilled out our first night here.<br />
3. splurged for the cabinets I wanted. Love my kitchen, it's the best part of the house.<br />
4. rough-in for water softener. We had our water softener installed within the first couple of weeks we were here and it makes such a huge difference not only showering, but cleaning too.<br />
5. Upgraded fixtures and doorknobs. We got the bronze upgrade. Love it! Looks so good. <br />
6. Added windows in morning room and family room. We have a great view of the pond behind our house, and the windows brighten it up. We decided not to add side windows to the living room and bedrooms since they just look at the neighbor's house.<br />
7. When they actually lock you out.... typically, the windows aren't locked.... we found ways in anyway, and we checked on things DAILY and took TONS of pictures.<br />
<br />
The house has been an ongoing organizational mess... now that we are at least mostly unpacked... I will post pictures tonight after I give it a good cleaning!<br />
<br />
And as much as apartment living/temporary housing sucked.... yes, it was totally worth it!

We met with the SR manager and his words were "trust us" we will make sure it fits. Yeah, well, it doesn't. Unfortunately, we didn't pull in and check until we had closed. I don't feel like I have much recourse now. We were very happy with PM and indicated that on our survey when we closed, but not happy about the garage. We indicated that on the survey, but I'm pretty sure that won't have any impact on anything at all. So, when they say "trust us"... yeah... don't. <br />
On another note, we do LOVE the house. Very few issues, nothing major yet to be addressed on our 30 day. We don't have a working alarm system yet, so no beeps when we go in and out. I've emailed the rep from Guardian to see how we get things going there. I promise to post pictures soon. Things are just still such a mess!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211702803043029983noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801070647102721702.post-62338578476801606802013-09-21T10:27:00.001-07:002013-09-21T10:27:43.780-07:00We are in!We moved in last weekend!

We went in last night and everything was pretty much done except for appliances, light fixture in the entry way, and crown molding on the kitchen cabinets. My brother was able to get in and check it out today and said the appliances are in. So, I think it's DONE! We have our walkthrough tomorrow, but we don't close until Monday. I was soooooo hoping we'd get to move this weekend. We have to be out of the apartment by Wednesday so closing Monday means moving Monday night and Tuesday. Anything I need to know about the walkthrough? I'm planning on being super picky especially since they'll have 5 days to fix it!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211702803043029983noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801070647102721702.post-11939938157272412302013-09-07T10:23:00.002-07:002013-09-07T10:23:55.399-07:00Day 88 - LandscapingThey have gotten LOTS done this week... but still plenty to finish up this weekend. The PM said the painter is coming in this weekend to touch things up so he let us go ahead and mark things with blue painters tape that we wanted fixed. He had already done a lot and we added plenty. So... we now have grass, bushes, columns on the front porch. The door has been painted. All of the cabinets in the kitchen are in. The bathroom mirrors are in. <br />

We aren't happy with the gaps in siding. Anyone have info on this? PM says it will expand with the humidity over the next few months. It looks cheap and I'm concerned about moisture getting in there. PM says there is moisture barrier behind it to take care of that. I'm seeing issues down the road with this. :( </div>

Shutters are coming this weekend or by Monday. Cleaners are coming Monday. Walkthrough Wednesday. We drove by this morning and there were several cars there! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So...here's the list I can think of that needs to be done this weekend or at least by Wednesday's walkthrough:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fix ripped siding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finish installing doorknobs on all doors, we are missing a couple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install all faucets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install all toilets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install pedestal sink in half bath</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fix the wiring to the island (they drilled the hole for the wire in the wrong place so no they have floored over the wire, thus no electricity on the island)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install entry way light</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install light in half bath</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finish installing trim</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
LOTS of touch up paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install all appliances</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Install shutters</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We bought a light for my daughter's room this morning. We have our ceiling fans and our projector and receiver for the basement. We still need a light for the morning room. It's getting really close!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My husband noticed that for some reason above the morning room there were a couple strips of siding that appeared to have been broken off. Pretty long pieces.. not sure how it happened.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are things we've noticed and we emailed PM about. He's been great about addressing everything we've asked and hate to keep pointing out the bad things. But I'd rather tell him now to see if we can get some things fixed up front.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are the things we asked about after visiting the house tonight:</div>
<div>
First, we've noticed there is no electrical outlet in the island. We noticed there was an electrical cord that came up out of the floor but it was between the island and the cabinet. It has since been floored over and the cord is sticking out where the dishwasher will go</div>
<div>
. </div>
<div>
Second, we noticed in the basement that we can feel the creases in the concrete through the carpet. I would hope those creases would be filled so that these aren't obvious.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Third, we noticed they started the deck. We think the deck is supposed to be 16 x 14 with the longest part of the deck along the back of the house. It looks like they have put in the deck supports with the longer side extending from the house. It's hard to tell for sure since just the supports are in. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Fourth, we've noticed that the stain on the stairs has lighter parts, will there be more stain on the stairs? </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Fifth, There are several gaps between siding strips even some places where you can see the silver wrap in between them. Will those be tightened up? I'm concerned about moisture getting in there. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Finally, we've noticed a lot of imperfections in the paint. The biggest concerns are the master bedroom north wall and the north wall going down to the basement. When the painter comes back, will he be sanding and fixing those kinds of things, or just touching up?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So not much happened on the inside of the house today... except they DID move that toilet paper holder! Thank goodness! :)</div>

I know it was the holiday weekend...but no work today? And we have our pre-settlement walkthrough a week from tomorrow? PM says the next 3 days will be extremely busy. I sure hope he's right. The bad thing about no work getting done is every time we go to the house we keep noticing things that just aren't done right. I'm sure they'll fix most of these things, but I'm tired of seeing imperfections.... tonight we noticed this one. <br />

We drove by but didn't go in since they were working late last night. We could see the ladders in the entry way so we figured they were painting. We did go in today and painting is done and looks great! Towel bars, toilet paper holders, and shower door are all installed. Shelving in the closets is in. Carpet has been delivered and is in the garage. Oh... and of course... the hardwood is in! It looks great!!! <br />

So...what's left...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Install carpet, granite, toilets and pedestal sink, faucets, door knobs, porch pillars, sod and seed, deck, last row of siding, finish the island and a couple of cabinets, molding on the cabinets, finish installing the metal rods on the stair case, install the handrail and trim to the basement, install the rails at the bottom of the basement stairs,... .what am I forgetting? I think that's it. There will be plenty of touch up paint to be done, but overall it looks great! So very glad we chose a paint color instead of leaving it white. It already makes it feel cozy! </div>

So.. what's next? The final rows of siding that had to go in after the stone will be done this week. Driveway this week. Hardwood goes in Friday and carpet next week! We are still missing a light in the half bath.. so we still have to ask about that. We've seen some things that need fixed, but not major things.<br />
<br />
Also, we did lock. We went with NVR. As we got closer to being within 30 days the LO was very good about running numbers for me and sending me rates. We locked at 4.75, put 15% down and are buying out PMI up front. Not the greatest rate, but to be honest I'm tired of worrying about it. <br />

So, we still haven't locked.. glad to see rates drop a bit today. We will lock this week I'm sure... it's getting close! We did find out today that we can pay PMI up front and not put as much down... after running the numbers... it makes sense for us to keep some cash in the bank and do this... so.. if rates drop some more tomorrow or Wednesday...we will be locking! Can't wait to have that done! I'm starting to accumulate boxes so we can pack this tiny apartment and get out of here. </div>

I was excited when we pulled up to see most of the boxes no longer in the garage... I was hoping that meant they were installing cabinets... but they weren't. They moved them inside to make some space to work in the garage. Some were out of boxes though! They said they'd be done in another day or two... not sure what's next.... plumbing and electrical maybe? We noticed more dirt dumped in the backyard. I'm guessing they are getting ready for final grading.<br />

Kids' bathroom. Vanity and sink are in. We didn't spend the money to upgrade to a double bowl. I wanted it to be a single vanity, but didn't think it was going to be... so this was a nice little surprise. I'm planning to get a little stool so that my daughter can sit there and fix her hair (and makeup when she's older). </div>

So, I'm guessing tomorrow they'll be able to start installing it all. They did get the banister in for the 2nd floor and almost have the bottom part ready to install. I'm hoping they work tomorrow, but I'm not sure if that's part of the plan or not. Here's a few pictures....<br />

We started shopping for our home theater stuff. We looked at projectors, receivers, and subwoofers at Best Buy. I think we need to go buy a lottery ticket! So.. I would say DON'T buy a projector at Best Buy. The cheapest one they had was $1200! Much, much cheaper online. We didn't buy anything. I think we are better of shopping online and reading up on what exactly we really need. It would be very easy to spend a TON of money on this and I don't think it's really necessary. </div>

Still a no-show on the trim/cabinet carpenters. PM says everyone in the office is working to get another crew to the house. Trying not to stress. We have our weekly update tomorrow...hoping to have some progress by then. <br />

Guessing they will be back tomorrow to start the actual stone. PM confirmed that the trim/cabinet carpenters no-showed the last few days. So, on to plan B..... although we have no idea what plan B is. I'm starting to get tired of going to the house every night. Maybe it's a good thing that I have late meetings for work the next 3 nights and won't be able to go! So, no idea if we are still on schedule. Won't know that until PM finds a new trim carpenter... so my cabinets sit in boxes in the garage... still.

We now have a mailbox that neither of us even noticed until we were walking back to the car. My 7 year old pointed it out. She also was the one to point out the garage door opener and keypad that have been installed. We also noticed they remudded the morning room. They were supposed to start stone, but they have not shown up yet. Hoping that starts soon. They also installed the linoleum in the upstairs bathrooms. One of my friends walked through the house with us today and thought it was ceramic tile. :) Nope, just vinyl! <br />
<br />
We are supposedly still on schedule. I keep looking at other people's timelines and there are tons of people with more to do than us with less time until closing and it's been done. I'm trying to figure out when we are safe to schedule movers.<br />
<br />
I'm also a bit peeved about NVR's lack of communication. I asked for rates all week and go not response. Now the rates have jumped back up over 4.5! I hope they drop again next week so we can lock! I really think they ought to let you do 120 day locks when you sign. How in the world are people supposed to plan financially when the rates jump an entire percent and add hundreds of dollars to your house payment? So frustrating!!! <br />

Ceilings are paintedI'm so glad we did a paint package. It really looks much better with some color on those walls even if it is just primer right now! Painting is supposed to happen this weekend. We think masons are working tomorrow and through the weekend. Then cabinets go in the beginning of next week. Things look good in many places. We are kind of surprised at how messy they are. I guess they are because they can be, but wow it's a hot mess. Lots of paint drips, runs, cracks, nailpunches, etc. Not to mention they had run out of drywall so the morning room didn't get drywalled with the rest of the house. PM said they'd get it done and they did, but they mudded it late so they painted over wet mud which just looks like garbage. I'm sure it will look good when it's done so I'm not freaking out, yet. We close one month from tomorrow!!! (Still crossing my fingers that we get to close on Friday the 13th instead of Monday the 16th, but I'm not holding my breath!)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211702803043029983noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801070647102721702.post-72408976635815671582013-08-13T17:44:00.001-07:002013-08-13T17:44:21.554-07:00Stealing a post from S and P!I keep going to search for this so I'm just copying and pasting.... :) According to this my hardwoods are next!!! <br />

PM pretty much says there is no need to fix it. We've been lucky with no cracks, so I don't know what to tell him...... What would you do? <br />
<br />
<br />
We stopped by our house tonight and at first I didn't think they'd done anything and then I noticed there was water around the edges of all the rooms.... looks like they mopped or something. It's a lot cleaner than last night. And then I looked up and noticed they had textured all of the ceilings! They still haven't even opened the cabinet boxes and I want to peek so bad! We should get our weekly call tomorrow. Anxious to hear what's next!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211702803043029983noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801070647102721702.post-74517380535829417822013-08-12T18:01:00.001-07:002013-08-12T18:01:25.158-07:00Day 63 - Mud and ChristmasThe outside is just about done..... waiting for stone! <br />

We also submitted all of our paperwork for NVR. The lady in change of this part of the process has been great so far.... she gets back with me very quickly... the other person that I have work with to lock my rate...not so great. Really, really hoping the rates gets closer to 4 or below to lock very soon! Tons of houses going up like crazy around us. The other Vic Falls down the street already has landscaping and sod! They close 3 weeks before us... can't believe we'll be that far very soon!!</div>

Drywall almost done!I am amazed how quickly things have moved! Our siding is complete except for a few pieces of trim. Stone has been delivered. Can't wait to see it up! We have garage doors. Drywall with tap and mud is done except for the morning room. They didn't get all of the drywall up there. I think they ran out of drywall boards!! Gas meter is in. Things look great. We measured windows tonight to get an idea on cost of blinds. I think we are doing faux wood blinds from Home Depot for the bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room, and garage. <br />

Master shower. We didn't upgrade anything in the master bath. I think I can live with this... seems like a decent sized shower.</div>

Our final walkthrough is Sept 11th. That's one month from tomorrow! We close MONDAY (yes a Monday) September 16th. Ticker has been updated. We have to be out of the apartment on the 18th. PM says this date still gives him a few days of cushion, but he says we should be good... but of course no guarantees. We got our letter from NVR asking for several updated documents. Those are all due Monday! Really starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel!</div>
