OP, it is a weird situation, and I can understand your irritation. As mentioned before, your only good recourse is a thorough pre-closing inspection.
I've never bought a new home direct from TV, but I know several who have, and have read many accounts of the experience here on TOTV, and from what I've read, the developer is very good about addressing issues, UP TO A CERTAIN PRE-DETERMINED TIME, and then it's the new owner's problem. It's good that you found out this is going on, so you'll be extra motivated to inspect carefully.
I expect that while it's annoying, when you close it will be as if it never happened.
Good luck, and enjoy the new home!

I purchased my new home 6 years ago and was told by my realtor that they can continue to show it should someone want to see it for any reason...that was 6 years ago so I believe that it is not new...I was told by a seasoned realtor Carol Kramer
