30 day inspection & problems with the house

Yes, there is nothing written here, but I promise I will write about this as soon I have time. There is so much to tell you. 

COMING SOON...

Ups and downs

It's been two and a half weeks since we moved in but seems like we have lived in this house for much longer. Absolutely love living here. The boys especially love the space. 

The first two weeks went pretty smoothly, but problems started showing up this week. We came home from work two days ago to a cold home. The thermostat was set to 70 degrees but the actual temperature read 63 degrees. After checking if the heating system was actually on or if the fuse was out (recommend by Google search) we called the HVAC company from the numbers listed in our handy dandy Homeowners manual given by Ryan homes. The person from the company asked if there was water leaking in the tray beneath the HCAV unit. Sure enough there was water filled up. How the water got there, we didn't know. We soaked the water out and the system finally worked again. The person from the company came the following morning at 7am and checked it out. I guess there was a broken piece inside the unit. I don't know what that piece was, but it was the problem. He replaced it and now everything is fine. 

Then we found that out basement bathroom toilet was clogged. I took a plunger to it but to no avail. Called the plumber from the Homeowners Manual and he camed out and reported that the toilets didn't have enough pressure which caused the clogs. He fixed it for no charge. 

Finally, blinds. We ordered blinds from homedepot and there were delivered to our house last week and we are waiting for them to be installed. We decided to have homedepot install them which costs  us $68. When I called them today to find out what the delay was for the instillation, they said that there is no instillation order in their system. Now this conversation happened during my rush hour commute from DC, and I had it. But with my patience intact, we ordered for the instillation. Now we just have to wait for them to called us to schedule the instillation. 

It's been a crazy week. Looking forward for the three day weekend. 👍
