3 Days to go...

I lied - or just too excited to keep the promise of not visiting the house again.  In either case, I stopped by last night as it was on my way home from sports.  Happy to see some work on our list was done.  Unhappy to see that some of the "work" is not what we would have expected as far as the quality of which Ryan prides itself.  Quality is up to the PM you get.

So, the good.  They added our garage door hardware and opener.


They added the handrail at the end of the porch.  This is technically necessary by code because the fall is greater than 30" so it wasn't our of the goodness of Ryan's heart.  I'm sure they would have much rather not done the work.  In either case, we have the handrail and we're happy.


The bad.

We were told that sliding screens are not included with patio doors.  I think it's something they just stopped doing.

The SR is checking with Production but we were told that the soft-close drawer slides for our kitchen planning desk are not included.  This is entirely disappointing as we upgraded all our kitchen cabinets to get the soft-close drawers and the planning desk cabinets are otherwise exactly the same.  The same layout and upgraded cabinets are in the model and, guess what - they have soft-close drawers.  Hoping for a good outcome but not really expecting much give.

The wood flooring that is chipped in several places - mainly along the edge - was "repaired." I think to them that means that someone took a stain pen and colored the bad areas.  Booooo!  Not really the "quality" that we had expected for the amount we are paying for the house.  We think the floor was installed using a tapping block that damaged the edges of several boards.  We'll keep an eye on it and if any more chipping is seen we'll have a talk with Ryan and Rite Rug.
