Preconstruction Meeting

After numerous emails, phone calls, and prayers we finally scheduled our preconstruction meeting!! Lawd I didn't think this day would ever come! We met with Cheryl, our sales rep and Geoff, our project manager around 2:00pm and finished around 3:45pm. They walked us through our floorplan and our RiteRug and Guardian options. They also showed us the blueprints which we couldn't keep because of some "proprietary" rule but they were pretty cool to look at. They pretty much had everything documented correctly. The only problem I foresee is the sink location in the upstairs secondary bathroom. In the model it is centered in the counter top but on the blueprint it is on the left of the counter top. Geoff could not confirm if he would be able to center it so we are waiting to hear back from him; hopefully with good news. We also wanted to add two cable outlets but they wouldn't let us do it, stating that there shouldn't be any changes at this point. I don't see what the big deal is. I was actually quite surprised they said no but we'll try to catch the Guardian rep when he's on site to see if we can work something out. After the meeting we drove over to our lot #332 and surprisingly they had already carved out the footprint to our house (pics below). Basically there was an outline in the dirt of where our foundation will be. Looks good but I was surprised to see that big ass drain in front of the house. It was on the land survey but once I saw it in person, I was like whoa. Im sure once the house is up, I won't pay it any mind. My childhood home had one in front and it didn't impact us one way or another. Anyway, our home is 1 of 5 that they are building in the new phase of our neighborhood and is set for completion between the middle or end of December 2015, just 3 months away!
