I'm so excited to join the "e-neighborhood!" I have really loved reading all of your blogs for the past few weeks. This is my first attempt at a blog, so hopefully this will be just as fun to write as everyone else's have been to read! Tips on blogging are appreciated!
We have a pre-construction meeting on Monday. I can barely stand the excitement!!
I need to post pictures of our selections. Hopefully I'll get to that this weekend
I think we all just pretty much write how it goes, as it goes. All the good and not so good. Just stay open and honest. =)
ReplyDeleteVery excited for you!!
Ditto what Noey said. Definitely don't be afraid to share your frustrations, because somewhere along the way you will get frustrated...sharing them on here somehow makes you feel better.
ReplyDeleteRemember to make arrangements with your PM to get weekly updates. Ours volunteered that he would be calling every week...others have had to ask and still others have had to force the issue. Also, before you leave the meeting make sure everyone is on the same page about you visiting the house as often as you want. Once the house is locked up (usually around drywall time) you should be able to stop by the model home and pick up the key to let yourself in. Also make sure you have a list of all options you have selected...both custom and standard options...and make sure you discuss each and every one of them during your meeting.
