We are supposed to close this coming Friday so DH and I walked through the house on Sunday and made a list of things that was not still being worked on (tub/shower area is still a WIP).
I sent this by e-mail to our builder this morning, but now I'm thinking we were very picky. What do you think. We did put blue tape on areas that needed touch up and only noted large things in this list related to paint.
1. Numerous gaps in the wood floors, particularly on the short ends. These are not beveled floors and should be smooth throughout.
2. Drywall around Washer hook-up needs some fixing, holes around edges.
3. Splatter on Wall Sconce by laundry entrance
4. Gaps around bottom of FP on both sides. Looks like it needs filled with mortar
5. Crack in the mortar near mantle support on left side (facing FP)
6. Stationary French Doors are missing paint on trim inside edges
7. Splatter all over the wall with entry closet by front door.
8. Several windows have caulk around sill and corners that needs painting (dining, bedrooms)
9. Paint touch up next to columns on headers in feoli honey is needed
10. Entry ceiling by AC vent needs touch up
11. Bedroom 2 & 3 closet doors have pulls installed on the wrong end of the doors
12. Second bath needs light fixture centered between sinks. Currently off to the left (when facing)
13. Need to caulk (matched to grout) along tub and floor - mortar is cracked and really should be caulk
14. Door Bell button is broke - cover
15. Door bell works at times and others not. Wonder if it got hooked to the wrong ring and it connected to the back door ring (Had two settings)
16. Needs caulk (matched to grout) where tile meets front door
17. Sill on the front door is unfinished
18. Front door missing poly on hinge side
19. Large chip on bottom edge of corner trim on peninsula (Breakfast side)
20. Outlet cover on left side inside appliance garage is all cracked and will fall apart with first use
21. Needs caulk on sink edges around granit or water can get in under
22. Trim piece missing on the bottom of the oven
23. Upper right corner of oven (facing) cut out is too large and cabinet damage is visible
24. Fan doesn't appear to be positioned directly as it should be mounted level with the hood edge
25. Fan has loose parts inside that you can hear when turned on
26. Fan filter is all mangled on right side (facing hood)
27. Splatter on cook top
28. Glass for doors in the kitchen?
29. Large gap between 1/4 round and wood flooring along dining wall that backs up to the fridge.
30. Light is missing at entry to master - looks like a can light is supposed to go there
31. Master Bedroom back windows has gap between sill and window. Need more caulk and paint.
32. Master Bath and closet - large gaps between 1/4 round and tile - caulk and paint ?
33. Master closet - lots of touch up needed
34. Closet rods everywhere needs finish and not be raw wood
35. No exhaust fan in wet areas of master bath (reason for having a bath fan is to draw moisture out)
36. French door handle - deep scratches in the metal
37. French Door copper weather strip is flat on the sides and on bottom right edge looks like a patch job.
38. Floor against stationary french doors have a gap - threshold or trim needed
39. Outside porch post bottom trim looks unstained on a few in front and all on back porch
40. Back porch Fireplace stone has grey mortar in spots on the stone
41. AC wiring and pipes into house has a large hole for critters to enter house
42. Glass block window has overspray on the exterior
43. Cracks in mortar where trim board of laundry meets kitchen on exterior. Needs caulk
44. Garage entry door threshold is unfinished
45. Phone wire sticking out of wall on side facing pond. Is this where the phone box is going?
Also how much would you hold back for the different things if they don't get fixed before Friday?
