We had our Pre-Drywall meeting Monday6/24/13. We were very sad to hear the timeframe Aug/Sept - all along we have heard July/Aug.
Identified that the can lights were put in the wrong place (they were fixed today 6/25/13) and some other things. I believe all of the inspections had passed. We were told to expect them to start brick on the outside this week and next week possibly drywall.
He said he was hoping to get it done in August (not to encouraged) but we wouldn't have a better date until after drywall.
The need to get the brick done on the bay window wall and the house so they can put the roof on the bay window, then the house needs to be "dried in" before they can start the sheet rock. Once he has the sheet rock in place we will know a better date. I have to give notice to our Apt complex by end of month if we need to stay longer than August so I really hope we don't go into Sept.
BTW - when we went to the house for the Pre-Drywall meeting we noticed the double door was put in place in the Master Sitting area (damaged already but it was good to see what it will look like) and the garage pad was poured (looks like a bunch of cat hair on top of it though....) Posted some pics on the Construction tab.
Today they delivered all the rest of the brick but it was late in the
evening so nothing done on the house that I could tell except some minor
fixes and the movement of the can lights in the family room.
We met our new neighbors (down the street) today, they are having the Avalon Aisle built and are neck and neck with us on getting completed. It was great to talk with them a bit, it's their first house and they just realized today we had a new PM! They have their pre-drywall Friday I believe.
WOW. what's on your agreement say? Aug/Sept? They said Aug/Sept to us. And yours is clearly ahead of us! Hopefully they'll fix all the damage you see now...don't worry!!!
ReplyDeleteWe did not get a definite date either. So let see how that turns out.
When we originally signed we did a delayed delivery because we didn't have a contract on our home so it was Dec/Jan I believe. We removed the delayed delivery a couple of weeks or so after (didn't cause any delays) once we got the contract on our home. At that point we were told July/Aug.
ReplyDeleteWe heard end of June, then it was moved to July and now we will most likely close in Sept. In the end waiting will be worth it but I thought I was going to go insane waiting 9 months for my new house. Hopefully the summer will breeze by and you'll be in your home soon.
