Wow.

It’s stuff like this that makes me so glad that we didn’t build a house. I mean, compared to what a lot of people go through, buying this house was so easy.

We had a great realtor, and my boyfriend has “outstanding credit” and all, so I’m sure that helped, but really, it was just not complicated.

at all.

I feel so bad for these poor people who have to go through this. And I’m such an idiot when it comes to stuff like that, I probably wouldn’t notice half of what they did and then would be sorry later on. I mean, look at what this guy said to them about the counter…

We upgraded for granite countertops, one which cantilevered the half wall to the living room. I noticed only one brace for this VERY heavy countertop and demanded a second “just like the model”. As a result, we now have 2 braces on sheetrock under the granite where there are NO STUDS. When called to their attention, Eric, the “VP of Construction” said he sat on the counter and it didn’t move. Therefore, there was no need to put supports into studs. The sheetrock was doing a fine job.

WHAT THE ?

Yeah, I think at that point I would have just picked the guy up over my shoulders and hurled him through the countertop and been like, “yeah, how’s it holding up now?”

(sigh)
