Week Nine

They started painting the inside of the house. When my husband and I walked through, we were very disappointed. It was clear that they had painted over stuff that was on the wall that they didn't wipe off. Also there were many areas where they didn't sand very well and lots of pieces of drywall were pealing off. Overall, it just looked really bad. I emailed my PM and told him my concerns and asked him to explain the process of painting and everything. He told me they would do another round of spackling and sanding and that was just a primer that we had seen on the walls. Then he said they would paint. That made me feel a little bit better. I'm glad that they are going to do all of that. But, I know there are still going to be problems when they paint, I can feel it.

Week Eight

The house is really coming along! They poured the driveway and walkway to the front door. They also finished the siding and put on the shutters. I am really happy with the siding, brick and shutters. I can't wait for my red front door!

 

Our cabinets!

 

Week Seven

My husband and I drove by the house last night and we have some drywall! However, I was quite annoyed when I went upstairs and noticed that they never switched out the prewire and drywalled right over where the prewire should be! I emailed my PM right away and sent him a picture of the ceiling. I waited for an email back until 12 pm and didn't get one, so I called him. He said he went by the house and I was right, of course :-). So basically we are getting the one prewire for free since they messed up and already drywalled around it, yay! And they are going to have to somehow add the other prewire that we originally paid for. I am pretty excited that we get that prewire for free, can't beat that!

Here are some problems I found with the frame around the front door...it looks like they may have to replace the whole thing. They really did a crappy job, I'm not happy with it.

 

But, I love the way the front looks so far!

 

Week Six

We had our pre-drywall meeting and it went well. However, we only paid for three pre-wires upstairs. One in the master and then the two front bedrooms. They put one in the guest bedroom instead of in one of the front bedrooms. I talked to our PM about it, hoping that since they made the mistake that we may get it for free, and he said they were going the take it out. Bummer! We will see what happens, I'm still hoping for the best! Now I wish we had just paid for it in the beginning.

Everything else went great. He basically just showed me where everything was in the walls and what outlets went to which light switches (as if I'll remember ;-) haha). He said that they were going to be installing the insulation and then starting the drywall at the beginning of next week. So exciting!



 

We have been insulated!
