Update

The unpacking is almost complete.  There are a few items that we are not sure what to do with, but other than that the house is looking good.  It will look even better once we paint over the white walls.  The hardest part is picking the right color.  We hung a few blinds/shades, mainly in the bedrooms.  

The following is an update on a few other items...

Dishwasher - The GE technician showed up this morning to tell us that we did not receive all of the replacement parts to fix the dishwasher.  We don't know if the GE technician did not order all of the parts or if they forgot to ship all of the parts.  Let's just say, we are above and beyond livid with this whole issue.  We contacted the PM right away and made him very aware of our frustration.  We moved in almost 30 days ago and still have yet to use the dishwasher.  The PM contacted GE and ensured us that the parts will be shipped overnight.  We will need to contact GE to set-up an appointment for the technician swap out the parts. 

Pre-settlement issues - there are still several issues that are outstanding that if are not fixed by the 30 day inspection, we will be sure to remind the PM. 

Irrigation system - most of the system has been installed.  However, due to all of the rain we the installer has decided to hold off on finalizing the hook-up until Spring.  We are waiting for the installer to finish setting up the main control and to have a plumber set-up the deduct meter.  It is our understanding that the Water and Sanitation Authority requires several inspections; however, the installer ensures us that he will take care of it. 

Trees...we still have not heard back from the PM regarding the type of trees.  We will follow-up the PM at the 30 day inspection.

30 day inspection...we are waiting for the PM to get back to us on when the 30 day inspection will be.  We are still compiling a list of issues.  We hope to have the meeting either by the end of this week or some time next week. 

Until next time...

WOW, sorry your dishwasher still isn't fixed! Hope the issue is resolved real soon for you!

Have you sold your other house yet? We still haven't sold our other house...it's been 7 long months! :(

Our 10 month inspection is scheduled for Oct. 13th. Nothing major, but lots of little stuff.

It sounds like a lot is still left unresolved. =(

I am curious about your old house too. Has it sold yet?

I hate feeling like I am on the back burner after a deal has is closed. I hope you are able to get this long standing issues resolved quickly!

HW! Glad that things are still progressing, even if its slowly...

I can't for the life of me understand why they are making you wait for the right part - they should REPLACE the dishwasher. Now. I'm totally aggravated just THINKING about having no dishwasher for a month. You are being incredibly patient.

Please share your paint colors with us when you pick them out!

Regarding the old house - it is still not sold...nothing has happened for months. We kind of placed it on the back burner during the move, but we are now ready to re-address the issue. We will post more about that at a later time.

Regarding the paint colors...we will be sure to share once we make a decision.


Regarding the dishwasher...will post an update shortly.

Hi HW!

That does suck that dishwasher isn't fixed that would have drove me nuts, matter of fact it irritated me just reading that! Hopefully it will be sooner than later!

I plan to paint two rooms at a time and can't figure out a color scheme! Choosing paint is tough!
