The momentum continues. Just when you thought it was done, there seems to be more happening. We noticed:
- Garage Door Opener
- Landscaping
- Front Door Painted
- Trim on cabinets
We are exactly two weeks from our pre-home demonstration. There are a number of small things - creaky floor, nicked trim, flaws in drywalling, poorly installed outdoor trim, cabinets mis-aligned, etc. that need some attention. I understand Ryan has a "Punch Team" that will deal with all of those things and get the house ready for turnover. We'll be watching to see how this process proceeds, as it's certainly a key to client satisfaction when the home is delivered.
On Wednesday this week we are having a home inspection performed. Seems kind of silly, but enough people have suggested it that we thought we should do it, considering the money we're investing. Also considering the negative feedback a few unhappy buyers have left on various websites concerning follow-up after their home was delivered and the transaction closed. Better to get things on the table early. At this moment trust is high. I have nothing but great feedback for the Ryan Team.
We're really excited and getting ready for moving in. It's time to order services!
Regarding the issue with our bathroom tile, it has not been addressed satisfactorily. There was clearly fault in the tiling contractor but also we missed the issue when reviewing the documents, so the blame is shared. However, the tiling contractor, TAC, appears to be unwilling to assume any responsibility. This is too bad. However, it's not over yet so I still want to give them the benefit of the doubt and the chance to make things right.
In the end, the home is a little small, but it's got some real character. It certainly needs some people living in it to bring it to life. Nice as it is, it's kind of sterile and dormant - just waiting for a spark of life.

As for the inside, we love it, but it's still kind of a mess. Nothing really photo-worthy. I'll post as soon as it's cleaned up a bit!
