Day 147 of our "90 day" build with Ryan Homes

Well I hope you are all staying warm and safe out there!  This weather is crazy and putting a damper on our house closing.  While we were originally scheduled to close on Wednesday, we have experienced another delay with the house.  While it is understandable, it is still frustrating! 

From what our PM told us last week, we were scheduled to have inspections today.  Our PM texted us this morning that with the weather he is "concerned about the outside of the house getting done, though the inside is coming along nicely".  Welp, what does that mean?  I called him to find out.  Since the gutters were not yet on the house, we could not move forward with building inspections.  Since the weather tomorrow is suppose to be even colder, gutters and therefore inspections will happen on Wednesday.  I get it.  It is -5 outside with wind gusts of 20-30 mph.  I do not want anyone trying to get on a ladder to put up gutters in that wind!  Maybe, the gutters should have been put up in October when our house was sitting untouched for 7 weeks?  I have to admit, I understand these delays, you can't control the weather.  BUT, I'd feel a lot more cheerful about this process if our PM hadn't sat on our house for 7 weeks twiddling his thumbs.  That's all. 

Not to mention, that our PM was trying to wait and see if we'd make the close - "It might be done".  Never mind the closing is scheduled in 2 days along with the mass amount of deliveries and installations we have scheduled in 3 days.  After some insistent texts, he confirmed that we would be better off closing on Friday.  So Rob and I called our storage/movers, furniture deliveries, cable, etc and had them rescheduled for Saturday.  Probably best, that way we can both be there and have to take less time off work. 

Ok, so a quick update to you all.  Big surprise, we have pushed the closing :)  Still trying to stay positive through this crazy ride with Ryan Homes.  At least they have put us up in warm and secure apartment for temporary housing!  We still have our walk through tomorrow afternoon so will have some photos of the house to post.  Then I'm hoping for a "We closed!" update for you all this weekend!  Again, stay warm and safe out there!  Have a great week!
