What The FUCK! Yes, this title is necessary!

What The FUCK!  Seriously these are the only words I have for Ryan Homes this week.

Last Tuesday, 11/1, we went out to the house to see the progress and we ran into the neighbor.  He pointed out that they were using the lumber that was labeled 272 (his lot) on our house.  It was strange, but I didn't think twice about it.  On Wednesday, 11/2, I had a hair appointment so we did not make it out to the site.  The neighbor sent me a picture of the days progress.  I was super surprised to see a second story.  When I came home from my appointment, I was sending the picture to my girlfriends when I realized, that is NOT my house plan!!!!!  Yeah, that lumber mix up is a HUGE deal!

This was the picture that the neighbor sent me and below is a picture of what the front of my house should look like.  We are supposed to have 6 windows across the front of the house that are all the same size, instead we have 5 windows with one square window.  Also the bottom windows are supposed to be separated versus being close together.

 

I e-mailed the contractor right away to let him know about this error.  He advised that his framers contacted him earlier in the night and let him know about the error that it would be fixed on Thursday.  When I stopped by the next day, the 2nd floor was being fixed, but the 1st floor was not touched.

James went by the house after work on Thursday and after work on Friday.  The 1st floor was still the same and he found ANOTHER issue.  If you remember one of my previous posts, we were framing out a wall in the basement for James' Office (adding wall and door/see red below).

The below is a picture of James' Office.  It is hard to tell in this picture, but the wall is supposed to be across the basement at the closest 2x4 on the left side.  Instead they farmed out and roughed in a bathroom.  WHAT?  WHY?  We didn't pay for this?  So odd?

James e-mailed the contractor on Friday night and let him know the windows were still not fixed and also of the error in the basement.  He assured us everything would be fixed, but offered to meet us Monday morning to go over it all in person.  We met with him on Monday, 11/7, and he advised the windows will be field framed this week to make the fix and also the bathroom will be fixed as well.  We walked the entire house with him and asked him a ton of questions.  He was actually really great and gave us some faith that it will be corrected accurately. 

The last error that the contractor pointed out to us was that they used our neighbors lumber on the right side of the house as well.  It is hard to see in the picture, but our house is the 2nd house in.  See the window on the 2nd story on the side of the house? Yeah, not supposed to be there.  The contractor advised we had two options, we can keep the extra window for free or he can frame it up for free as well.  The room already has 3 big windows and this 4th window would make furniture placement complicated.  Now the neighbor has to deal with getting his extra window framed out as he is supposed to have one.

Hopefully the process will be smoother from here on out.  I just know I need to watch EVERYTHING!!!!!  But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK!
