Installing a PVC Pipe Under Driveway

I mentioned in my blog yesterday that I asked my PM for permission to install a PVC pipe under our driveway towards the end. After we close, we want to install an invisible fence for our dog and run it all the way around our lot. Our neighbor installed one and he ran the wire along the crack that is at the end of his driveway. We wanted to avoid this because I'm sure the wire would become damaged over time. Well, not only did our PM give us permission, but he said he would install the pipe for us!! Woohoo!

As for the missing crown molding in my study, they just ran out. He said it will be installed around the edge of the regular ceiling - like we paid for - AND they are installing it in our tray ceiling - which was free since the framing crew put it in that room on accident! Woohoo again! I was worried that he wouldn't have it installed in the tray since we didn't pay for the tray. I was going to be upset if they didn't. It's not our fault that the tray was installed in there on accident. That doesn't mean they can leave it looking unfinished! No worries though since he said it will be taken care of! He really wants that 10 on his survey :)

Hardwoods will be installed on Friday, carpet this weekend, and granite on Monday! Our PM is on vacation ALL next week. That is literally the last week before we close. I'm a little freaked out by that but I'm sure everything will be just fine. 13 More days!!

  1. It's great that not only can you lay the pipe during construction, but even better that the PM is going to take care of it for you! I talked with our PM, but he wasn't willing to allow us to even do it ourselves.

    1. You should tell him that if he wants that perfect 10, that he will be more accommodating ;)

    1. Yes, especially since he's only been my PM for about two weeks or so. I loved my original PM but he got switched to another community. I'm still little sour about it but the new guy is doing pretty good! He's on vacation for the last week of our build before closing though. Totally makes me nervous!

  3. It seems like it's such a simple request to install the PVC pipe during contruction! Your PM is awesome! We were told, No! So we are going to get the invisible fence installed by our new neighbors recommendation who said the company was inexpensive and the process was painless.
