We reached an agreement with Ryan Homes today and they are going split the cost of the new swinging shower door with us. I really appreciate them meeting us half way and I'm glad to have this whole issue behind us. We close on Monday and since it's a custom door, we will not be getting the new one for a few weeks. Still better than never! I think I'm going to offer to give them back the door they already installed, if they even want it. I would hate to just throw it away.
I want to sincerely thank my "old" PM for stepping in and helping out so much while our new PM was on vacation this week. He wasn't even the person looking over our house but he took the time out of his busy schedule to help us. He replied to my many texts, called around for prices for the swinging door, and he acted as our middle man to get this deal worked out for us. For that, I am extremely grateful. He definitely went above and beyond. I am sad that I will not have an opportunity to fill out a survey for him since he's technically not our PM anymore, but I will definitely be writing an e-mail to his boss to let him know just how awesome we think he is.
I still plan on writing an entry about my visit on Wednesday but I just can't seem to find the time! Maybe tomorrow? Maybe I should just pack instead? lol!
Our final walk-through and closing are on Monday. Can you believe it?!? Where has the time gone?!? Does anyone want to come help me pack? Ha ha!
Yay for a happy ending!!! You may also want to consider selling the shower door on ebay or craigslist to recuperate the expense. It would be a win/win for you and the happy owner of the new shower door!
ReplyDeleteUghhhh packing is the worst!!! Good news about the door!!
ReplyDeleteYes, packing is the WORST! I started packing months ago! I hate waiting until the last minute!
DeleteI started packing about 2 months ago and quit after a week! I need to get on the ball. We are closing in less than 3 weeks!
DeleteSo glad to hear that worked out...I was gonn ask guys to help us pack...lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to see things turned out well for you.
ReplyDeleteGrrr...Packing. I have to photograph a wedding tomorrow and I'll be exhausted from being on my feet all day on Sunday but I HAVE to pack because we close with you on Monday!!! We have decided that once we close we are never going to sleep in the old house again so we have to at least take the essentials. Then..I have almost a week to pack and get things over to the new house. We have a truck scheduled for Friday for the big stuff and I get to go appliance shopping!!!!! We got a 10% off at Lowe's coupon that you apply for on their site when you move....and they offered us 18 months no interest. UHM....HOOray! I'm getting new stuff!
ReplyDeleteOur air conditioner is still broken at our current house so I plan on never spending the night here again after we get the keys! Do you get your keys on Monday? We have to wait until Tuesday. It will be tough living there without a fridge and washer and dryer for a few days. Thankfully they will be delivered next Saturday!
DeleteGlad to hear they're at least meeting you halfway! We have been putting off packing too long, now we've only got a few days to things packed away before the movers show up:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Ryan at least met you halfway on the shower door. I don't blame you one bit for hating the sliding shower doors.
ReplyDeleteLOL... you sound like me. I HATE packing! We had a moving company give us an estimate this week. He said that it looks like we'll need about 100 boxes!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad Ryan came through for you. I've seen a lot of horror stories on the web, but our experience so far has been positive. With NVR, on the other hand, our only complaint was the time it took to get a ratified contract, but we mostly attribute that to a surge in new contracts in January/February.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening with you?! I'm excited that tomorrow is your closing, can you believe it's here already??? :) Thinking of you...
