06/24/14 Pre-Drywall Meeting

We just had our Pre-drywall this past Thursday evening. Super late post, I know... lol

And it was hot. I was sweating like a fat baby in Disney World.

So much new stuff I see..... check it:

Green siding!

So green!

Green and mean!

Breaker box

Soaking tub... I want to sit in it.

Shower and tub

Shower... Yes I stood on it. 

Guest bathtub

We started from the third floor and moved ourselves down. Man heat rises for real. I'm just a little worried that we didn't add a rough-in for a fan for the attic. We should have because like I said, it was a sauna. Oh well... at least it has its own thermostat so we can regulate the cold air in there. We asked about pushing for a rough-in for a wet bar sink thingy majiggy in the finished attic since the drywall isn't up yet. (We didn't ask in time for Ryan Homes to do it so we gotta find someone to do it for us.) They told us to get a plumber to come out as soon as possible before the sheet rock goes up. Which will happen this Tuesday coming up... now to find a plumber... because we want to do this before they start covering up the bones of the house. Thankfully our real estate agent was there at the walkthrough and said she knows someone in mind to do so.

2nd Floor thermostat has to be on this owner's bedroom wall.

Then we moved to the second floor. We went to another Venice that just completed drywall a while back and the second floor thermostat was in the owner's bedroom... in the middle of a wall where you would put a television on... I mean, it was so weird and an eyesore. Our sales agent told us that was a mistake and that they will fix that for the people who own that Venice. So we request for that not to happen to us, and that we want it at least out in the hallway. Our PM hopes that the wire to the thermostat can reach out to the hallway if not close to the door in the master room as possible.

Switch is too high... almost close to the outlet.

Then we move to the first floor. We couldn't get the fireplace switch to be next to the light switches, so we opted to just have it above the mantel. My best friend had hers above the mantel and she just had it covered with some picture frames. So we requested it to be lowered down a tad bit since it was super high.

The garage had insulation all around! We were so psyched because we didn't know that we would get it. However, our PM said that was a mistake and they're going to tear down the insulation that's not touching the kitchen, family room, and the living room.We were telling him to keep it up and avoid all that labor. He said he'll see.

I keep pressuring my PM about the damn cabinets above the refrigerator... he said he can't do anything about it because the back of the cabinets have to be nailed towards the wall... bloggers who had it done... is yours nailed towards the sides? How was yours done?

*UPDATE*

1. They totally forgot to lower the fireplace switch and the sheet rock is already up. We talked to our PM and he said that the construction workers already did it before he had a chance to tell them to lower it down. He will fix it and will be above the mantel.
2. Couldn't get a plumber in time so we're not getting a wet bar in the attic. (Yeah kinda pissed off as of now.)
3. They tore the insulation off... damn! Thought we can keep it up there for super insulated fun. We should have like slipped money to them to keep it up.
