Here in NE Ohio they include GE appliances. We decided to upgrade the dishwasher, stove, and microwave and then we bought a GE fridge so the stainless would match. The appliances look great but that's about it. <div><br></div><div>Note: this post is more of a rant because I dislike GE but there is a helpful tip in the event you have a similar problem when building with RHs. </div><div><br></div><div><b>The Fridge</b></div><div><br></div><div>Our fridge kept shutting off and the only way it would turn back on was to hit the breaker. It happened once so we didn't think much of it and then it happened again only this time, hitting the breaker didn't help. We called GE and the repairman said that the fan didn't work and that this was a common problem on our model. I'm so glad the sales person at Lowes told us that before we bought it!</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, we lost all of our food and if something like that happens, you need to call GE's insurance company for a refund. As a 'courtesy' they will give you $100 for lost food. Gee, thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Now onto the bigger problem - the dishwasher.</div><div><br></div><div><b>The Dishwasher</b></div><div><br></div><div>The upgraded dishwasher failed. Big time. We noticed that there was some water leaking out the side of the door so we stopped running it and called GE. What we came to realize was, the water also leaked underneath the appliance and ruined about 30 sq feet of our hardood floor.</div><div><br></div><div>We called Ryan Homes and to their credit the service manager called back right away. He said we needed to determine if this was a part failure or an install failure. If it had been an install problem, RHs would have taken care of everything but if it was a part failure, it would be our headache to deal with. The GE repairman said it was a part failure so we would need to file a claim with the GE insurance company. After about a month, the floor did get repaired but what a PITA. GE brings terrible appliances to life.</div><div><br></div><div>The bad part ...</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_V0lUohIBuFccCf2KGGg9uAayO0Lzxt-YO-ZLJpbAWCAxVD0lowDI6bevXxiquRaTKcWeGdb43EfmOYwa6iiHjID3XADTyIlNGF4GLQm-ZlIj5WIg1VULJceES29kKQi4vlYkZ9IuS7_/s640/blogger-image--807566078.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_V0lUohIBuFccCf2KGGg9uAayO0Lzxt-YO-ZLJpbAWCAxVD0lowDI6bevXxiquRaTKcWeGdb43EfmOYwa6iiHjID3XADTyIlNGF4GLQm-ZlIj5WIg1VULJceES29kKQi4vlYkZ9IuS7_/s640/blogger-image--807566078.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The ruined floor ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYqVnfmrr188UBea0m0lAQlHBp6RUnynd7V0jHxcv6hP_jWq8ddQSjpfLeCycbSuD-FzLg5iBl1y-WXcUi9u0OL3KouFqIENPcqbPrLVkEnYR24EGuoQZUsDweNCQqi73hSMcnObktWio/s640/blogger-image--923880102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYqVnfmrr188UBea0m0lAQlHBp6RUnynd7V0jHxcv6hP_jWq8ddQSjpfLeCycbSuD-FzLg5iBl1y-WXcUi9u0OL3KouFqIENPcqbPrLVkEnYR24EGuoQZUsDweNCQqi73hSMcnObktWio/s640/blogger-image--923880102.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The floor has been replaced and the food in the fridge is nice and cool so all is well.

So we had a choice, walk the dog out the front door several times a day or put in temporary steps and let the dog out back on a lead. We opted for the latter.<br><br>This weekend I installed temporary steps and unless my craftsmanship was really lousy, should provide a good solution until the spring. A quick trip to Home Depot for the pre-made stair stringers and treads got me started.

Did you hit the wall with a box when moving in? Did the dog rub against the wall? Scuff marks galore. Don't bother trying to clean them off - just cover the scuff mark with some more paint.</div><div><br></div><div>Would it really be that big of a deal for RH's to use a wall paint that wasn't so cheap? Could it at least be an option to buy a better grade of paint? I know they will sell you a different color flat paint, but I don't think it is a better grade.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm guessing RH's uses this paint for 2 reasons - 1. It is cheap; 2. Flat paint hides the flaws.</div><div><br></div><div>The paint color is fine but the grade of paint is FLAT awful.

Maybe they can change all of them at our 10 month check up.

The final walk-through was a lot of fun and very informative. Our PM, Mike took time to show us the paperwork that goes along with our house (warranties, important numbers, etc) and he talked to us about maintanence items we need to take care of - sealing the grout, concrete, etc.<div><br></div><div>Once that was done we took a tour of the house and snapped a lot of pictures. We ended the appointment with part II of our private home inspection and I just received the report. There were a few, very minor items our inspector found and I suspect Ryan Homes will be able to take care of them before we move in.</div><div><br></div><div>Here are the pictures of the finished product, but there are no exterior pictures as that is still a work in progress. Due to the cold NE Ohio weather, we will not have a driveway or sidewalk until the end of May and some exterior painting will have to wait as well.

Below are some pictures I took (terrible lighting) and notes from our home inspector. Oh, here is a tip for anyone building a RH in cold weather - when you go to the pre-drywall meeting, it will most likely be really cold in the house. Not sure why this didn't occur to us but the house was freezing inside and since they didn't have the insulation up yet, it makes sense. Live and learn.<div><br></div><div>The meeting lasted about an hour and our PM took us through the house and explained the work they have done so far. We also verified that Guardian placed our cable connections in the right places. During the walk-through I noticed that one of the archways was slightly askew and our PM agreed and said it would get fixed (they use a metal arch and then drywall over it - see pic below).</div><div><br></div><div>Our home inspector then arrived and he went through the house. He pointed out some things he really liked and then sent us a report of what he thought RH's should correct. Most of what he found were things that the builders simply did not get to yet. For example, the holes in the foundation where the service lines enter the house had not yet been sealed. His two biggest suggestions were:</div><div><br></div><div>1. The shingles were installed without a drip edge. I was told that RH simply does not do this and the shingle manufacturer does not require one during installation. </div><div><br></div><div>2. The subfloor should be secured with screws to lessen the chance of having squeeky floors. RH apparantly secures the subfloors with nails and glue and they will not use screws.</div><div><br></div><div>There were a few other "problems" he found that our PM is looking into (one of the water lines is touching duct work and a couple of 2x4's were cut short in the basement). Overall there were not too many issues found during the inspection so we feel good about the build to this point.</div><div><br></div><div>Here are some pictures - sorry about the lighting.</div><div><br></div><div>A view from the master into the hallway.

We are starting to see some real progress - I hope you like the pictures. <div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Winter foundation pouring:</b></div><div>I asked our PM about what they do differently when they pour a foundation in winter and here is what he said:<div><br></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i>Typically our foundation wall mix is a 3000 PSI concrete with no calcium. Today we will be using a 4000 PSI mix with type 3 cement and 1.5% liquid calcium. The type 3 cement is the key element. Type 3 cement has a higher cement ratio than our normal wall mix and it will allow the wall to set up and not freeze and the 4000 PSI is a much stronger strength than the normal 3000 PSI. Also the poured wall company will be covering the top of wall with insulated blankets to keep the heat in. </i></span></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Waterproofing:</b></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">In the past couple of years Ryan Homes started to improve their basement waterproofing and now instead of putting tar on the foundation walls, they are using a material called GeoMat by Mar-Flex. I was told that the tar would eventually crack and wouldn't provide much of a long-term waterproofing solution. One of the pictures below is a close-up of the GeoMat and here is what I found on the product:</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mar-flex Geo-Mat rolls are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) which offers strong resistance to hydrostatic pressure and provide excellent drainage. Mar-flex Geo-Mat rolls feature dimples that are aligned along vertical and horizontal axis to rapidly channel water from grade to the footer drainage system.</i></div><div><i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></i></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Next week they deliver the wood and hopefully start framing!</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Quick note: I'm not sure if we lucked out but our PM is great to work with.
