As I so often seem to do, I'll offer an historical perspective!

I closed on Monday, 01/24/2005. I had until the following Friday to identify "issues."

When I met with the builder that Friday afternoon (at about 1:00 pm), I had a small list of perhaps 10 items. He immediately got on his walkie-talkie, issued instructions and orders. Within minutes, the house was swarming with folks repairing all the issues.

At the end of that same day, all issues but one had been resolved.

That one issue was resolved the following Monday; the plumber simply didn't have the required part on his truck on Friday!

My "issues" were almost totally "cosmetic." A small hole in the drywall here, an improperly installed blind there, this and that.

Most of my friends "up north" had insisted that I'd end up with a cheaply-built, shoddy home. Not the case!

Yes, this story dates me, but I am convinced that the emphasis on quality established by The Developer has not nor will it become a negative!
