Tip: don't go back and visit the model over and over again (ha).
We brought my parents to see the model last weekend, and someone asked about the windows in the living room and dining room. Dammit. The grumpy sales rep (not ours) said there are NO windows included on the side of the house. Hubs says maybe we SHOULD add them after all.
I email our SR and she confirmed that there IS a window in the dining room - standard. The Living Room - nope.
Also on this "last minute shopping spree" - white quarter-round. In an ideal world, hardwoods would go down first, then our lovely upgraded baseboards over top. In Ryan's world, there's no telling which order this will happen in, which means quarter round. The models have quarter-round stained to match the floors. We hate this look. We tell SR that wood-stained quarter-round is a deal-breaker for the floors. (I fully realize how absurd this conversation is). She goes to the office, office says we must have quarter-round for the floors to be "properly finished" (big sigh). But for the low-low price of $395, we can get it painted white.
This is painful, but we added the window and upgraded to white quarter-round.
No.More.Changes.
We are waiting for our model to be built still and can NOT wait to get in it to look around, haha!! Our floor plan is new to Cincinnati, so they're still working on building the model for it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd lately I have found myself going back and forth "wishing" I had added this or that to the plans.
Sigh.
We are keeping the "no more changes" motto going too!!
Ashley - so have you not been in model of your floorplan at all yet?
ReplyDeleteNope!
DeleteWhen we decided on the floor plan, we were able to walk through a home that had JUST been built and the owners were closing on it the next day! But, our SR had the keys and let us walk through it. Which, was great because we got to see it, and it wasn't like the Cadillac of floor plans bc they hadn't upgraded EVERYTHING.
Same issue here! I do keep visiting the model, but my husband's to-do list just keeps getting longer :)
