This week it looked like nothing really happened. The basement ceiling is still missing sheets of drywall. There are still numerous spots of the drywall that needs fixed or plastered. We thought the beading would be on corners and all seams sanded smooth. The only really big thing that looked to have been completed was that the ceilings had their texture created.
We also haven't heard anything from our PM. We were getting weekly updated via email once a week, but nothing since last I asked him about a firm closing date. Odd because I emailed our PM with four questions on 9/25 about some issues I noticed. I expected at least a response by the next Friday when he would send a weekly update. He never responded on 10/2. I plan to reach back out to him today about:
1) One of our water hookups in the master bathroom is free floating in the wall with no support. This is because the plumber removed the support to fit the extended vent PVC pipe from the sink. They re-installed a 2x4 on the right side for the cold line, but never installed anything on the left side to hold the hot water hookup in place. Since they never caught this before the drywall now they will have to cut and remove some drywall to install the missing water line hookup support.
2) When we had our pre-con, we asked what side of the house our AC compressor will be located. Our prior PM noted it would be on the small yard side of the house. This is what we wanted so that the big side our our yard wont have a noisy AC unit visible and to be heard. I noticed last weekend that the copper pipe for the compressor and AC unit was on the wrong side of the house. This was pretty important to us and I wonder if it was dropped when they changed PMs. I did send the new PM our pre-con question list and he should have seen we asked about it. I do hope they can move it or knock something off the price for the error.
3) We have a huge dent in one panel of the garage door. It's really noticeable which makes me wonder why someone left it. I suspect they needed to order a new panel and wanted to have the door fully installed. This doesn't seem as hard of a fix as the prior two items.
4) We talked to our guardian people prior to drywall about moving 1 speaker and they confirmed they would move it. It never was moved prior to the drywall and not I suspect they cant move it. I emailed them last week also but all I got was that they would look into it.
We also noticed our replacement back door has been sitting outside at the rear of the house for weeks now. This is annoying as every time it rains the door blows open and the floor there get soaked. They started on some of the work outside and we suspect this week the house will have siding put on. Hopefully the PM gets back to me on our few open items.
NVR has been working on getting me a final good faith estimate. I think the hold up is getting the discount processed for the interest rate mess-up they had. Hopefully I get this from them in th enext few days.
Our current house had its home inspection Friday. We asked them to let us know when they are done so we could go home. Around 5 I drove past and they were gone so I went home. We got a message 2 hours later that they were done. They left a radon test in the basement to keep taking readings for the next few days. The inspector rang our door bell Sunday night around 8ish to pick up his Radon test kit. It would have been nice if they would have left us a time frame or a headsup rather than just ring our doorbell Sunday night at 8pm. Duing my time with him in the basement, he leaked that there is concerns over the fireplace and the deck. I'm not sure what they will impact as the fireplace we never used and never advertised it as working, and the deck has always been a little saggy. This is where the home selling process sucks because first they beat up a seller on price before signing a contract and then beat up a seller again when they have a home inspection. The price was already reduced for "the condition" of the house. Hopefully no issues comes from this and the price stays.
