Start date scheduled for April 24. How did we get here!!???
I can't believe it's finally time to schedule our pre-construction meeting. I was in shock when I saw the email from our SR last night. Wasn't expecting it for another few weeks. Sent our SR over some dates/times to choose from. Our PM is apparently running 2 developments, and is in ours on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Open issues (AKA - what keeps me up at night):
1. NVR/Homeside mortgage final approval
2. Pending request for basement powder room (only rough-in and full bath were offered, but apparently the new plans allow for a powder room?)
3. Buyer's appraisal on our current house still pending - ordered as of 3.31, but not yet scheduled.
Can't quite figure out if I'm more nervous or excited that this is about to be "real".
Update: Apparently the basement powder room floorplan Hubs found online was actually OLD, rather than new. SR explained that they stopped offering it a year or so ago, since the cost difference between powder room and full bath was only $400. It didn't make sense to offer. Hubs has been speaking with a plumber friend and was told to make sure we have a vent pipe up and out the roof with the rough-in. Our question back to SR was if this pipe isn't included in the rough-in, can it be, and at what cost?
Update to the Update: vent in "the stack" is standard with basement bath rough-ins.
Stay tuned.
I am very excited (and a bit jealous) for you guys!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the powder room issue. We aren't able to get a different style kitchen island that we really really want because it's part of the newer version of blue prints and because our prints have already been printed and permits taken care of, we can't get that island at all. The only structural changes can be for things that are part of our version blue prints :-(
(hope that makes sense)
Keeping my fingers crossed that you get that powder room though, and if you do it'll give me some leverage to argue a bit about us not getting the island, haha!!!!
Sorry you had so much trouble! I wonder if you can sell your first island to another house in your development? Maybe they will let you change your countertop selections to match theirs or something equally creative...Do you have a finished basement? Maybe it lives down there as part of an elaborate bar or office setup?
