Weekly Lot Visit

It was a beautiful day today when I visited the lot. It hadn't rained recently so I didn't have to mess up my shoes walking through mud to get to the house. Wow! Toll Brothers is NOT playing around.

Flooring

  • Foyer and powder room - The marble tile with granite inserts was done in the foyer. In case you were wondering - YES, they took up the tile in the foyer and reinstalled it in the diagonal pattern. 
  • Master bath - marble tile was in the process of being installed
  • Laundry room - tile is down, just needs grout
  • Downstairs guest bath - tile is down, just needs grout as well
  • Upstairs bathrooms (single bath and jack & jill bath) - tile is down, just needs grout
Counters!!!! - Now this was a surprise. I thought they would be going in next week. All the counters are granite but we chose upgraded granite for the kitchen and the master bath.
  • Kitchen counters are in - though with protective plastic covering them!!!! 
  • Master bathroom counters are in
  • Other bathrooms - counters in as well
Exterior
  • The plaster work for the columns has been completed
  • The trim has been painted so if you look at the house from the street you will now notice brown trim
  • They have put the framing down for the driveway
  • Garage doors have been painted the same color as the trim

View from street


Closer view of house - trim painted
Foyer from front door - paper placed over majority of the marble tile

Powder bath with tile installed

Cabinets, granite counters and flooring in master bath - they better fix that door

Another view of master bath cabinets, counters and flooring

Kitchen!!! Countertops are in :-) Corbels under counter overhang was an upgrade

Cast stone fireplace - yes another upgrade

Part of the kitchen. Open space on left is for double ovens. Smaller space is for microwave.

Laundry room - still don't think front loading machines can fit in that space but left my tape measure home

Downstairs guest suite bath - cabinets, counters and flooring in

My oldest son's bathroom with cabinet, counters and flooring

Jack & Jill bath cabinet and counters

 Different discoveries

  • Shoddy trim work in one area near the second staircase. They tried to join two pieces of trim together and then there was some damage to the drywall. I sure hope they do not think they fooled anyone with their 'patch' work. It looks worse in person.

  • Horrible paint job. This area is directly above the area pictured above. The painted area is between trim and the window sill. I sure hope they plan on fixing it.
Not so professional looking paint job
At this price point I expect perfection when I move in. The construction manager seems like a good guy  and I have heard good things about him so I believe he will address everything.
