Grass is looking pretty good. Second best on the street! First cut was yesterday.

Oh crap. That reminds me.. I will have to remember to change the water bill over to our name sometime next week

Even have some flower bush things going up the sidewalk. We also got 2 parkway trees to the left and right of the picture

Got some landscaping

Officially homeowners :). Now I just have to move our whole apartment and hang 13 blinds and be at work at 6am tomorrow lol

Thanks guys. Yes I will be on top of things. I was told by another resident that if they don't, report it to corporate. Heading to the final walk through now.

Emailed the construction manager about how unhappy I was and all of the issues with it. He replied that deck nails are standard and that remains. He would also take a look at the deck. I then got another email saying he ordered new wood and a new post and it will take a week. Not happy about the...

Closing tomorrow. Can't wait!

They made a mistake mitering the rails, re- cut it and still used it. The supports, which are in cement have cracks in them as well. I work with wood all day and I've seen some bad wood in my time and this takes the cake. Also used a nail gun for everything.

That's just some of it.

Had our walk through yesterday. Bunch of little touch ups here and there but no big deal. One thing I am unhappy about is our deck. It literally looks like a child put it together and used scrap wood with chunks missing. I told them it needed to be fixed. It needs to be completely rebuilt as far...

Our walk through is next Wednesday and of this weekend there was no carpeting or flooring. They better hurry lol.

Except I keep hearing from people who are buying houses that aren't new construction. You can negotiate with the buyers. I just don't know if you can negotiate with builders, especially when you are this close to closing. I've already read through all of the contracts I've signed and yes a lot...

Have a question. I've had a few people tell me to have a lawyer at closing. Are there any benefits to having one there on a new construction home? I just don't want to fork out hundreds of dollars and have them do nothing.

It's supposed to have one of the top "Hers" rating out there meaning it's energy efficient. They put a fan in the door and test for leaks. The windows are special windows where they don't let the UV Ray's in. They are made by MI i believe. We looked at other houses down the street by a...

They are subcontracting a lot of stuff. I've looked at some of the company trucks out there each week and it looks like they have a pretty good reputation. I was also inside and everything looks pretty good structurally. I'm changing out some stuff anyway so it's no big deal. I have friends that...

We are the only blue this color in the neighborhood. Those houses behind are different shades of grey. We have been getting quite a bit of compliments on it. Cell phone pic does not do it justice. I forget the actual name, but it's not baby blue

Getting close!

Soon!
