WOW

I had trouble deciding what the post title should be...WOW about sums it up.

Irene - WOW - we are getting blasted by rain...it's been raining nonstop since about 1pm today and the wind and intensity of the rain is steadily increasing...praying that both houses survive this onslaught!!!

PM - WOW - went out yesterday and got extension cords to be able to run power to the sump pump to prepare for the hurricane...everything possible to protect house was done...cross fingers and say a prayer!!!

Sales Rep - WOW - we knew our sales rep was supposed to be on vacation this week...actually he was given a sales award which was a trip to Atlantis - yes Noey - your Atlantis...they got there on Monday, Tuesday they were at a congratulations/welcome meeting when they proceeded to tell them that they had to pack up and leave because of Irene - WOW!!!

PM - WOW Again - He was on vacation thru last weekend...away for 6 days and "lost 5 days on the house"...He has been cracking the whip since getting back...

  6. Super Duper WOW!!!! We have said it once, maybe twice, but it is worth repeating...your house is the "Mac Daddy" of all houses. It is so beautiful. You have thought of everything. We soooooo very much love the layout of your house and now that we are getting to see more of the details, it is just amazing. Glad to hear that the house was not affected by the quake or hurricane. As we watch the coverage on the TV we prayed for everyone's safety and we hoped that nobody was affected.

    If you can, can you either post or send us more pictures of your walkout. We are really upset that RH was not willing to work with us and now we plan to add it to the "To Do List" after closing...maybe not right away, but we were interested to see how your walkout looks...it may help us during the planning process. Thanks!!!

  7. Thanks all...

    @HW - Right back at ya...you have one beautiful home as well and your lot with those trees is to die for!!! Will get you a set of detailed pictures of the walkout...it's suprising to hear that RH wouldn't work with you on it since it is definitely not tough to do when building a house from scratch...anything you specifically want pictures of or have questions about...one thing you can see from our pictures is what appear to be double doors...it is actually one fixed panel and one door. We are okay with that but would have prefered if both opened up so you would have the full width of the opening...if we find it to be a pain in the future we could switch it out.

  9. We didn't push RH hard enough for the walk-out and now we regret it. We brought it up to the Sales Rep, who indicated that it had something to do with the grading. However, when we recently brought it up to the PM, he indicated that it would have been possible. We should have brought it up to the PM sooner. It is going to cost us so much more to do it on our own; however, we really want it. Thanks!!!

  10. Your home is looking absolutely fabulous, the layout is fantastic. The master bath looks so regal, love the vanity selection. Must feel great to be so close to completion. That's a lot of house to decorate, good luck and have fun with that phase :).
