CHANGES...

We are very busy in getting our current house in order so it can be placed on the market May 1st.  One thing we would like to do is to stain our deck, but with all of the rain we don't believe we will be able to get to it prior to the pictures/video, which is scheduled to be taken next Tuesday (04/26).  So we are focusing on the things we can control (i.e. painting, cleaning, declutter, etc.).

Also, we have made a few changes with the new house.

Flooring - Rusmur
We placed a change order to reflect the following:

• Main Floor - changed from Hardwood/Carpet to the standard vinyl and carpet flooring.  Our plan is to upgrade the flooring after closing.  This may delay our move-in date, but we felt it is a decision that will save us money in the long run. 

Security/Audio/Phone/Media - Guardian
We had our 2nd meeting with Guardian to finalize our options, as follows:

• Security System - Base package, which includes standard keypad, 1 pet motion detector, 1 control panel, 1 siren, 3 door contact, 1 heat, and added 1 glass break detector and 1 carbon monoxide detector; Also, received 6 month free. 
• Home Wiring (phone/cable/data) - Standard features, which includes 8 single wall plate outlet, 4 telephone, 4 cable, 6 data, and upgraded to premium 42 enclosure, added Cable - 11 single wall plate outlet, Data - 3 single wall outlet, 1 Home Network Package, includes 7 port router and 6 data outlets 
• Audio System - Lyriq Standard 4 Room Audio, which includes 1 main source input, 1 local source input, 3 pair of Klipsch R1650C In-ceiling, 1 multi-source input and added 1 AW 500 SM Dual Voice Coil Outdoor speakers, upgraded 4 source eight-zone distribution module; added Lyriq Standard 2 Room Audio, which includes 1 main source input and 2 pair of Klipsch R1650C In-ceiling

Waverly - Ryan Homes

• Custom Tub - in progress - we are working with Ryan Homes to not install the standard built-in whirlpool tub in the Owner's Suite bathroom so we can install a stand-alone claw foot (jetted or whirlpool) tub.
• Custom Shower head - in progress - we are working with Ryan Homes to install the standard shower head in the Owner's Suite bathroom shower and add a custom rain shower shower head
• Outdoor Sprinkler system - in progress - we are working with Ryan Homes and independent contractor to coordinate installing a outdoor sprinkler system that will be installed after closing. This will delay landscaping provided by Ryan Homes.
• Appliances - in progress - we are working with Ryan Homes to finalize our selection for a stainless steel gas cook top, double-oven, dishwasher, and microwave (optional).  Waiting for Ryan Homes to provide the specs for the alternative location for the microwave.  May not purchase microwave from Ryan Homes. 
• Columns - added columns, which will reflect between the dining/living room and Owner's Suite bedroom/sitting area
• Electrical (outlets) - in progress - we need to meet with Ryan Homes to finalize the selections/upgrades. We want to add multiple outlets and ceiling light/fan box in various rooms.

Well that is all for now.  We will post more later, but we need to get back to working on our current house.
