I'm Back

Back again after a 4 month Hiatus!!!!!!!!

Well it has been a while since my last post but with all that comes with moving in we have been extremely busy. We are quite happy with our new Ryan Home there were some things we found wrong and are still finding some but they were minor and Ryan was right there to fix them.  After moving in we discovered that there were things that we didn't think about when we were building like light switches and where they were placed. We also would have had them add a few more plugs on the exterior of the home. The so called top soil in the yard leaves a lot to be desired we have a difference of opinion with Ryan on what I consider good top soil and what they do.There is a lot of stone in the soil which causes the grass to not grow in some places.  There also is a lot of large rocks under the soil that weren't removed when they graded.  This causes for difficult digging when you put up a deck or a fence. Well enough for now I will try to post more latter along with ssome more pics.

9 MORE DAYS UNTIL CLOSING!!!!!

Well its getting close now things are really coming together now. All of the carpeting is in the plumbing fixtures are in the appliances and they even started on the landscaping.  They are starting the final touches now. Next week we have our final walk thru and then our closing. It really happened fast.  Below are a few picture but they still had the laminate floors covered with paper so I tried to get a picture as best I could.

Rusmur flooring strikes again!!!!!!!!

Rusmur flooring strikes again!!!!!!!!

Stopped by the house to check on the progress of the flooring and bathroom tile.  I was very disappointed with Rusmur flooring first off they did not continue the laminate down the one hallway.  I called our PM and he said he would call Rusmur.  About an hour later  I received a call from Rusmur and there representative said he did not see on the order form where I paid for the additional laminate. I told him to look thru his paper work that there was a change order.  About an hour latter he called back and said he had found the change and would have someone come out and install the additional flooring.  Well just when I figured we had Rusmur all straightened out my daughter points out to me that they covered the heating vent with the laminate. I can't believe someone could not see this vent and cover it up.  The part that got to me the most was the terrible tile work they did in the master bath (see pic below) again I wouldn't believe a craftsman would leave work like this.  The pm is going to stop on Tuesday to take a look at this. I am quite sure it will be handled but it never should have been done this way in the first place.

Doors, cabinets and countertops installed!!!!!!

Doors, cabinets and counter tops installed!!!!!!

Stoped by the house today to check on the progress the interior doors, trim, cabinets and counter tops were installed. They also had the mantle and hearth installed around the fireplace.

Siding finished!!!!!!!

Well the siding is finished and the drywall people are inside mudding.  Our PM Mike said they would be in there a few days and then hopefully they will install the cabinets by the weekend we will see.  It seems like there is an awfull lot to do by our June 14th closing date.

Need a little help.

I can't seem to get a countdown clock to download and work. Could someone give me a little help?
