Critical building phase

We have had our pre-drywall meeting a little early than it was mentioned on some of the blogs I read. We went back on Saturday and spent lot of time taking pictures and videos.
They had started working on electric wiring on the second floor. They had completed pre-wiring for ceiling fans and lights along with recessed lights. OMG! The home is full of recessed lights. I even mentioned to Mr. Z that there was no need to add 6 recessed lights in the family room. Four would have been enough to brighten the room.

Talking about lights, the building only provides regular switches. However, we want to have dimmable LED light switches in some of the rooms especially in the basement. We have asked our PM to see if the electricians can install the dimmable switches. He should not have any problem considering we have volunteered provide them the switches. We will see if he can accommodate our request.

The contractors have started working on pipelines on all the three floors. We noticed there was no waterline for refrigerator. This is a standard feature with NV Homes, but it is possible we are losing our patience and can't wait until everything is done. This is another thing on the e-mail we have sent him today.

Remember, the 36" first-floor bathroom door? While we were walking through the house this last weekend, I realized that it might not work out. This is a congested bathroom and the broader door might not open completely. I pretty sure it will only open 75 degrees and if that is true, what purpose it would serve? I have pointed this out in the e-mail too. Let the experienced person decide. :)

This wait time kills me. I am sure our PM would not get to our e-mail until later in the day. He mentioned he has been working through three different communities and they have 10 work-in-progress homes. 

By the way, got our pre-settlement date. It is the third week of August. We are yet to receive our closing date.
