We stopped by the house on Sunday and were so happy with the progress! We now have cabinets, vanities, tiled showers, some trim, doors, and a driveway. Most things we are extremely happy about but there's a couple of things that we did not like.
Likes:
Love our White cabinets and the hardware! After snooping in our neighbors houses, we are SO glad we extended the cabinets!
Upstairs bath vanity. I thought it would be a single vanity but it is slightly larger. We will be painting this white... Well, a friend of ours will.
Not sure if I love this, but every bottom cabinet has a pull out shelf. I think we might have to remove some to store larger items but overall, it's a nice feature.
This is a pretty bad picture but this is our resilient floor in the bathrooms. It looks so much like tile you literally have to touch it.
If you look really hard, on top of the log is a quail. Brad thought this was a good sign as you don't usually see quail in neighborhoods. Whatever... I'll take it!
Dislikes:
This is our "stoop." It pretty much fits one person. Notice our roof overhang? We don't really have one.
This is our neighbor's stoop. It is at least twice the size, has a roof overhang, and will have a nice light fixture. Why didn't we get this? Apparently, they like to make each house look a little "different." Which means, our house has no roof overhang and barely a stoop. However, the two interior units get shutters and the exterior don't. I don't get it but there's nothing we can do now!
You can see the AC unit from the great room window. I guess because it is an interior unit there is no where else to put it😒.
This seems like is will be a waste of space. I asked our PM to not glue it shut as I'm sure I can store something there.
Love the cabinets but when we opened them, they are really shallow! We weren't even sure if a plate would fit in there. I plan on bringing a plate with me next time to make sure it fits. Weird right? Im sure a plate will fit, won't it? They are also so tall that we will need to invest in a ladder.
We had asked that this closet door open out. We figured if you really wanted to use it for storage, the space required for the door to swing would take up a third of the closet. We addressed this with our PM and he said they will fix it.
Overall, I was extremely happy with the progress and the house! Our PM informed us he is having trouble with the power company so we have to move our walk through to the morning before settlement. I guess this is ok? Not sure if they will have time to fix anything. BUT we do stop by rather often so I'll just bring up my concerns as they come.
Here is the rest of the pictures I took on Sunday:
Neighbor's nice stoops😫
"Measuring" for the fridge.
Great progress! Now I'm a little nervous about my cabinets fitting my plates. I hadn't really thought about it before.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen looks fantastic! We're really excited about the white cabinets. I am hoping and praying we get the pull out shelves, too -- some RH developments around here have them, but the model where we bought doesn't seem to have them. But I would really like them thank you baby jesus amen.
ReplyDeleteThe standard for us is 6x6 white tile for bathroom flooring. I asked if we could switch to the resilient vinyl bc I think it looks really nice and would be easier to maintain than white tile... but we got a big negative on that request.
I am really surprised they denied that request... I would think the resilient would be cheaper than the tile to install! Any yes, white floor tiles would suck to keep clean, especially since my hair is black and is always all over the bathrooms...
