Service and Warranty

When my house was being built, I was told more than once that warranty people would be in touch with me about 9 days after closing, and then again a little further out and then around one year and again at 18-months. So far, I haven't heard anything from anyone unless I open my mouth and ask. Thankfully, Raymond, my construction superintendent has been wonderful in that respect. He's truly been a Godsend from day one (er, Day 41, when he came on).

There are still a couple of things needing attention in my house that didn't get completed 100% and that I need to have done before I feel confident that anything else is on my shoulders to take care of. One, the ceiling where my outdoor ceiling fan was installed is still a jagged, gaping hole. It needs to be caulked, painted and make to look finished. Second, beneath the edges of my countertops is simply some random caulking. It needs to be completed so Im happy with how it looks if I happen to be sitting on the floor and look up at it.

I went ahead and inquired on KB's website under "contact" and "warranty service". Im sure someone will get back with me in a timely fashion. They've been stellar in that respect all throughout my experience.

Day 114: Ceiling Textured

The house's windows were covered with plastic and taped off and the ceiling was textured. Tomorrow the walls should be done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 105: Beginning of the Drywall

Raymond called this morning and invited me out to the house to determine placement of the back porch stairs. After showing him where I want them, he showed me where the broken truss was repaired.

 

Yesterday was the house's exterior wall insulation inspection along with the Greenzone inspection. Both passed. Yay!

 

While we were there, workmen were there installing drywall on the ceiling in the kitchen. It was pretty cool to watch. One guy was on stilts! He needed to be tall to reach the ceiling so he could screw the nails in.

 

He had a neat drill, too, that only turned the screw after he applied pressure to it on the drywall. Then it only screwed a set amount of distance so that the screws never over-screwed. This keeps all of the surface flat, no dimpling.

 

After he screwed the drywall up, he had another tool that he used. It was some sort of saw that he could poke into the space where the light casing was preinstalled. The metal edge of the casing guided the saw and it cut a perfect circle in nothing flat. It was very cool to watch.
