Day 146: A bunch of finishes, second C/O Inspection is tomorrow

The pictures pretty much show everything. We have our second inspection tomorrow. According to the superintendent; we failed because of no attic insulation, no gutters and the exterior soffits weren't completed. On Friday he told us it would all be taken care of over the weekend. We drove up yesterday and the only thing completed was the attic insulation. *rolls eyes* I'm not really shocked; they haven't hardly done anything on time in this whole process. Our SR told us the gutters would be finished Monday (even though they have no clue what time the inspector is coming), she also said the painters were suppose to be painting yesterday but no one was there. The soffits were not finished either. I think they are just asking to fail again.

 

We looked thoroughly through the house and there are SO many touch ups to be done. A lot of the trim is terrible, it needs sanding, filling in, re sanding, re painting etc. There are gouges in the walls, split wood on the railings, uneven sub floor so the carpet has uneven spots. I'm really disappointed. The quality of the finishes are bad. All of the appliances aren't even installed. The fridge is still sitting in the basement with our dryer, the dishwasher is sitting in its spot but not connected, the hood vent is halfway installed.

 

We had our walk through scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Monday morning but we told them there's no way we are doing a walk through with the house in this condition. Isn't the point of a walk through for everything to be pretty much done and for us to point out areas of concern? ugh. There are a million areas of concern. We rescheduled for 3 in the afternoon. I still don't see how everything will be cleaned up and decent.

 

 

On to the pictures: The exterior paint isn't completed either

Dining room-Girls were dancing

Office, this light is bright and beautiful

Porch roof. It still needs to be screened in.

Gutters in the backyard

Fixtures in bathroom

 

 

This is terrible. I can' not believe they nailed in this framework after

the tile has been grouted and set. It's poor workmanship. The shower door is also not what

we thought we were getting. It is extremely short. The "soffit" is supposed to reach down to

the shower door in order to make it a steam shower. It's disastrous! We have been telling them for

months to not forget to build down the soffit and they wait until the last minute to fix it. They should

have built it down before tile workers laid tile. It's such a shame

My closet

Media room-Conduit STILL needs to be cut out in the ceiling. Justin has been telling

them for weeks to do it, now that the attic insulation is in, it's going to be a pain. What is there problem?!
