We're in - Day 3 update

Day 3 and the frustration with Ryan Homes continues.  At closing we had a list of about 60 things that needed fixed - some big, some small.  About 4 of the small things have been taken care of.  As we live in the house we continue to find things that need to be fixed so the list grows larger by the day.

Recently we added:

   - more squeaky steps

   - squeaks in the master bedroom closet

   - glue in the master bedroom carpet

   - leaking basement (unfinished)

   - unfinished nail holes in the kitchen island

Now we have the problem of not having a working refrigerator water line.  The PM told us at predrywall that the water line would be in a box in the wall.  That didn't happen.  The excuse given was that we couldn't have it because it was an exterior wall.  So, instead they install the line through the floor about 4 inches away from the back wall.  We warned the PM that the refrigerator would hit it but he said that the refrigerator should not sit back that far and it would be fine.  The refrigerator of course hit the water line and bent it so that we can't use it.

Our PM sucks - plain and simply.  He constantly reminds us that he's built over 500 homes and he knows what he's doing.  Maybe that's right and he knows how to schedule but he procrastinated horribly on this house.  Again, had he set the tone with subcontractors to do a good job or at the very least inspected what they were doing we wouldn't be in this spot.

I may have said this in the last post but we're tired of dealing with our PM on this stuff.  It's honestly easier to do it ourselves.  Our refrigerator delivery guy asked why the builder didn't move the water line as it's an easy fix?  And our HVAC guy who came to move a register location was dumbfounded that Ryan wouldn't just move it before carpet was installed.  In 100% honesty they both used the word "Morons." 

OK, onto some good updates.  Movers come today to unload our PODS at which point we can finally start living.  Painting is going well and we've finished the powder room, laundry room and the boy's bedrooms.  Next up is closet organizers and installing a new powder room sink and mirror.  

It's rained here the past couple of days so we shut off the sprinkler system.  Sod looks like it's taking and even getting some grass in the back where the seeded.  

Hoping to get some more pictures soon!
