House Project: Outstanding Issues

1. There's a bit of paint overspray on the windows, both inside and out. My wife has taken care of most of this, but there's a couple of spots that we are going to point out to the builder when he comes up here this week.

2. The front door leaks--and not just when my wife sprays a hose at it. There's actually dirt blowing in at times at the base of the door, at the two edges. Surprisingly, there's no wind whistle--even when the wind is blowing something dreadful, as it is now.

3. The kitchen faucet needs tightening.

4. Concrete, of course, needs painting before the rainy season starts.

5. We have a loose panel that we found on the porch, that is painted our exterior color, and looks like the wood was literally broken in half by the wind. We don't see where it came from, and I can see just about the entire roof of the house from the water tower hill, but we will have the builder look over the house carefully and figure out where it came from--assuming that it isn't just scrap that blew in from somewhere else.

6. At least the master bedrooim closet crawl space (and perhaps the one in bedroom four) should have at least edge beveled to make it easier to get these back in place.

7. The pantry door has a ghost problem, and once open part-way, goes all the way open.

8. The window east of the slider in the family room is extremely stiff--something that my wife can't even open or close, and that takes a lot of effort for me.

9. There is a badly bent screen on my east facing office window--enough so that it is letting bugs in if I open that window.
