30 Day Inspection

We are preparing for our 30 Day Inspection and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on what worked and what did not work plus what were they willing to do or not do!  We have not submitted our Survey as of yet to wait until our 30 day inspection is complete.  We have a short list but a significant list to say the least.

Our biggest concerns are the:
1.  Hardwood floor's - We have Bruce Hardwood Floors which I believe are the engineered version.  If anyone has any insight on the care and the construction of these floors it would be great and the difference between true hardwood and the engineered version.  The floors are definitely high maintenance; but I would not trade them for the world.  We love them; however, the floors are dark and they are separating so you can see the substance under the wood.  We also have some scratches and sprinkled paint that was on the floor that was discovered after we moved in.
2.  Staining on the bannister is NOT AT ITS BEST!!  Because the staining is dark, you can't see the drips of stain as clear.  However, I notice it all the time and the balusters have stain around edges.
3.  The Front Porch Light is falling out of the electrical socket which is dangerous!


AND A HOST OF OTHER THINGS!!!!!  I will share the complete 30 Day List after our meeting.

SO...what are we waiting for???  We could not coordinate a time that would work for all of us; however, we are choosing to make it happen.  We are planning to get the ball rolling before our 10 month inspection.

Where are the Roman Countryman????

Just curious???????


Where are the New Rome Home Builders and the current Rome bloggers?   
COME OUT! COME OUT! WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!  
I know it gets CRAZY busy once you move in and I joined that bandwagon and glad I am BACK and would love to see how all the Roman countryman are enjoying their new homes?


There used to be so many of us sharing on the BLOG?  I think I just see two new Rome bloggers:  The Radkes, Erin's blog-Rockin and Rome-in (love this name) and Melissa (romeiswheretheheartis).  Are there any others?  I will be sharing some information that I am ticked off about the Rome model that was a tip from another blogger.  In the meantime, I must stay focused and finish the last assignments from this semester.


HAPPY BUILDING TO THOSE BUILDING!
HAPPY CLOSING TO THOSE WHO CLOSED!
AND HAPPY DESIGNING TO THOSE WHO ARE IN DECORATING MODE!
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!
