Miscellaneous Section

What is with the illusive miscellaneous section?!?!?!!? Every issue we have had the reason has been "oh it was in the miscellaneous section they must have over looked it". Really, if I hear that one more time I am going to.... well do nothing because what exactly can I do lol When I told the PM about how all of our issues are coming from the items listed in the miscellaneous section he said "options throw a wrench in our otherwise well oiled machine" was that supposed to ease my concern????? It didn't.  Aren't the options the point in building a new home rather than purchasing an existing home so you can get it the way you want it.

The latest miscellaneous mistake is the floor tile being laid incorrectly. We paid extra to have the tile laid on the diagonal in the master bath. My Husband was there when they were laying the tile. I emailed the PM and the tile company. In the meantime my husband talked to the installers and they pulled up the tile and started to lay it the correct way. A little while later the PM emails back and says "I talked to the company and they are fixing it as if he had solved the problem. I let him have this one but we know it was really my husband that solved the problem. He should be a PM for Ryan Homes but wait I'm the one with the PMP :)

  1. Oh Lord you're scaring me! I also paid extra to have my tile laid on the diagonal too. I have heard that this is something that is often missed. I sure hope they don't mess mine up. I have told our PM on 3 separate occasions. LOL

  4. "options throw a wrench in our otherwise well oiled machine"... What a comment! That would have ticked me off! Glad it all worked out though. :)

    1. Right can you believe it? We have been officially passed off to the assistant PM. We are happy because he seems to be very enthusiastic. He was the one that did our frame mark up and he caught everything we saw and more.

    1. Wow, I know that is a pain to live through them putting that in did they have to take the whole area out or could they cut it?

  7. I haven't been given the "miscellaneous section" excuse yet, but we're running into a few issues too. Oh, that "options throw a wrench into our machine" line is not cool; it's not like we didn't pay a big premium for all of the options over the base.

    Glad your husband was able to catch the tile and get corrected before it got too far. All we can do is continue to keep our eyes open and work to get things done right.

    BTW your house is BEAUTIFUL! I love your outside choices :)

  8. How is your build going? I went to our house today and "THANK GOD, they laid my tile on the diagonal like I requested!" I think I reminded our PM about 4 or 5 times because I was so paranoid they'd mess it up. One of our neighbors indicated that the tile company in our area has changed the transitions that they use for the flooring as well (to a metal silver strip versus the marble piece). I immediately got in touch with my SR to ask about it because that was another one of those things that I asked about when we first started the process. Luckily she remembered and they were able to give me the marble transitions like they have in the model homes. I am so ready to move. Just 20 more days. They finished installing our lighting fixtures today and all of our tile work was done and the yard is graded now. We are still waiting on the columns and railings to be installed on the porch but I have a feeling they wait until the last minute to do that so they don't damage it while hauling in granite and other large items. Oh well, keep us posted....

    1. things are going good I am way behind on my updates. Glad to hear they got your tile right :) We were talking about the transition piece the other night. I'm not sure what we will get but I doubt it will be the marble transitions.
