I'm glad that you were able to catch those mistakes and I'm glad they're fixing them for you.

Sometimes they are to the outlet that is closest to the door which for a master bedroom that is usually not where the bed would be.BDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831914806525111506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783693939525617794.post-78665884421399308682011-02-12T07:23:12.554-08:002011-02-12T07:23:12.554-08:00CR...Thank you so much for this post...this is pro...CR...Thank you so much for this post...this is probably the most important inspection that you do along the way. This is your one last chance to fix things that aren't quite right before they get covered up by insulation and drywall. Thanks to your Dad for lending his eyes and helping you through this step...Dad's do that kind of thing for their daughters :)<br /><br />And thanks for posting the problems that you found. We are accumulating a list of things that others have found to use for our walkthru...who would have thought to look for squared up walls or cracked subfloor...thats what these blogs are all about and in the end we will all have better houses. How did your Dad even notice the wall wasn't squared up...or was it so bad that it was obvious.<br /><br />Regarding the electrical outlet in your bedroom...call your PM immediately...once they get the drywall up it is too late and you will wish you had another one. If the model home had 2 on that wall there is a good chance that there is supposed to be 2 there. It might not even be to code...when you walk in the room there is supposed to be an outlet within 6 feet of the door on both sides...then as you make your way around the room there is supposed to be an outlet every 12 feet...in other words, no matter where you are along the wall there should be an outlet within 6 feet of you. They may have missed one. We did a walk thru of a completed Avalon and were surprised to find that there was not an outlet on the foyer hallway wall against the stairs. We plan on having a table there with two little lights and need an outlet there. We went back and looked at the electrical prints in the office and sure enough, there is supposed to be an outlet on that wall...they either missed putting it in, or drywalled right over it.BDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831914806525111506noreply@blogger.com
