Claw foot tub has arrived...
We received our claw foot tub on Friday, 07/22/2011. We are very excited and can't wait until after closing so we can finally have it installed. We are very grateful that RH installed the plumbing rough-in.

VISIT TO THE SITE (MORE PICS)
We couldn't help ourselves, we went to visit the site again today. We can't believe how different the house looks after one day. We now have a porch and all of the windows are installed, except for the basement. We were very pleased (actually, jump up and down for joy happy) to find out that we are able to open the window located in the master bathroom. We also got to watch the shower spa system be installed and it allowed us to talk directly to the installer to confirm the height of the body sprays and the rainfall shower head that comes out of the ceiling. Next week we will go back to discuss the specifics regarding the claw foot tub. We also spoke to the PM about removing the coat closet so the space can be added to the study. We figured that this space will be better utilized in the study because we would probably only store junk in the coat closet because we plan to use the closet located in the laundry room to store coats among other things (i.e. vacuum cleaner, etc.). The PM needs to confirm that this is ok; however, it didn't appear to be a problem because it is not a load bearing wall.
The following are a few pictures that we snapped today.
Well until next week....and Happy 4th of July!!!!!

DIY's Bath Crashers features Moen's Spa System
BD this is for you...
We were watching an episode of Bath Crashers on DIY yesterday evening and noticed that they installed the Moen's Spa Shower system that will be installed into our master bathroom. For more info - bathroom custom request.

Also, an awesome TV install as well...however, one of us does not believe a TV belongs in the bathroom, but the other one of us thought it was really cool.
We are sooooo very excited about the shower system and can't wait to use it.
Enjoy!!!
BD - one more thing, I believe this is the episode that they had to upgrade the water supply system and installed 2 hybrid water heaters. Not sure if that will help you with you issue, but I thought I would throw that out there.

Foundation pictures (taken 06/13 and 06/14)
The first 2 pictures were taken on Monday (06/13/2011) - pouring the foundation.
The following pictures were taken today (Tuesday, 06/14/2011) - foundation.
We are expected to receive the lumber tomorrow morning and framing will begin in a week.
Also, we signed our final change order today to officially add the custom spa shower. This is sooooo exciting and we can't wait to see the rest of the building process.

ADDITIONAL CUSTOM REQUESTS
Before we begin this blog, we want to start off by saying that up to this point our RH sales rep. has gone above and beyond our expectations with accommodating our needs and making this process an exceptional experience.
In the same email, we were informed that RH also approved the service door request (located in the garage) and additional insulation request for the garage. We plan to attend our pre-construction meeting this Thursday to work out the details and submit a change order; and we are scheduled to break ground the following week, on 06/01/2011, weather permitting.
Words can not express how happy we are with RH and our sales rep. Let the building process begin.
Now on with the blog...originally we submitted a custom request to add a rainfall shower head from the ceiling to the shower located in the Owner's Suite bathroom. And then we recently submitted an upgrade to that request to add a vertical spa system. This system includes 4 programmable presets, 7" rainshower shower head, 3-function handheld shower head w/ 30" slidebar, and 4 jet sprays that all work off of an electronic control panel that is connected to a central valve system. This system is so cool that we can activate the shower using a remote control. We knew when we submitted the request that we may have gone to far with this custom request. We received an email yesterday morning from our RH sales rep. that we really were not expecting, but some how she pulled it off again. RH approved and will install the custom shower head system and the rainfall shower head from the ceiling.
The following is a video that we found on youtube that reviews the system - Moen ioDigital Vertical Spa System and Installation

CUSTOM TUB - APPROVAL
Currently we live in a 108 year old Victorian house and one of the things we love and will miss the most is the character of the house, which would cost thousands of dollars to replicate in our new house. We recently remodel our bathroom and at that time, we installed a free-standing claw foot tub. We really like how it looks so we decided to carry the look into our new house. However, this time we upgraded to a larger tub with a whirlpool system. We received the approval from Ryan Homes to install a custom tub in the master bathroom after closing. To accommodate the size of the tub, Ryan Homes will expand the door into the master bathroom from 2' 6" to 3'. We also received a $1000 credit.
The one negative is - we will have to install the tub after closing. First we need to find a place to store the tub and then we will need to get the tub to the house after closing. We are going to check with our PM to see if they will be willing to help us with this; otherwise, we will need to contact a professional to help us with the install. Neither of us are very handy; especially when it comes to plumbing.
This is a picture from the website. Please note: Our tub will reflect a ball & claw foot with Old World Bronze finish.
On another note, we are waiting for approval on a custom request to install a rainfall showerhead from the ceiling in the master bathroom shower.
