New construction, wrong windows in great room
Comments (15)Thanks for your encouraging words, EcoStar! The correct window is similar in size. The builder called my husband and apologized profusely (yes, he should have caught something this obvious)and I would be lying if I said I am not nervous about this being repaired properly, knowing how these workers rush to get the houses finished by settlement. I am not there to check, so I have to trust it will be done properly. Yes, you are right about mistakes that the homeowner never knows about - because the repairs are done right and there is no evidence of a repair. Sometimes, issues don't manifest themselves until way down the road. Should we indicate our concerns about the Hardi-Plank and not wanting many seams on the exterior? I certainly don't want small pieces of the plank and a choppy look! Thanks for your input. Husband is not concerned, but he is not the one who will have to be here and drive 4+ hours to meet these guys down the road if repairs need to be done! It will be me and I am trying to avoid that!!...See MoreWhat color should the jamb and parting bead be painted?

Comments (4)Are you also closing it up on the bathroom side? I think having a window where you look at the back of a mirror, picture or bookcase is pretty odd and would make me wonder what else was done quick and cheap vs. right. Also, is there adequate ventilation in the bathroom? If you’re closing it up on both sides and it’s only drywall why not get someone in to do it right? Remove the window(s), frame it in, insulate, add drywall, tape and mud the seams, smooth & paint. It’s not a huge expensive job and will look so much better. You’re already dealing with a half assed job, this is an opportunity to correct that and close it up properly....See MoreUser
