Aside from the cheesy post title.... we ran into a problem with the tub. Basically when the tub structure is framed a piece of plywood is set onto the top and the hole for the tub is cut.... well turns out the hole was cut about 1 inch off center... so what ends up happening? well the edge of the tub ends up a bout a half inch into the wall.... so then what happens? well the drywall guys come along and trim the drywall around the tub... then the tile guy comes along and tiles right around the tub... and nobody says anything to anybody about whether or not its at all strange that the tub is about a half inch into the wall!.... any way ... once the tile went in we spotted it and said something... it's being fixed!... but its putting our closing date off two days :(
Its a little hard to see here but under the window just to the right of the missing tile and under the window you can see the tub is too close to the wall... it should actually be about a half inch away from the wall...but the tub is about a half inch into the wall...this wasnt noticed by the PM or anybody else until we said something... when we asked the PMs manger about it he actually thought it was typical....and was good for water drainage...he said the area and around the tub would be caulked and all would be fine ?!
PS. some of you might notice that thats not the listello we ordered... well you are correct.. they messed up on the order... luckily we think it looks ok...
That sucks that they didn't catch the issue sooner, but I'm glad they are fixing it. It really sucks that your closing is getting pushed back over something that someone should have at least questioned. I'm glad you at least like the incorrect listello.
ReplyDeleteOh that makes me so mad for you, I hate when people involved in building our home think it is acceptable to make mistakes and just place a coverup on it!!
ReplyDeleteBTW what would happen is you didnt like the listello? (what is listello?).....
They didnt catch it and even if they did, Im not sure so late in the process they would have changed it if we didnt notice it!!! They did agree to change the listello to what we had ordered at least!! But we really did like the one they put up, it was orginally our first choice!
Deletebtw .. the listello is the small decorative tile in the middle of the bigger tile in the shower and around the tub...
DeleteSo, what DID they use instead of Listello? I like it with your dark cabinets.
ReplyDeleteThey just used a different Listello, it was the darker one, but still looked nice so we kept it!! Thanks for the compliment!!!
