Everything has been done.
It feels a little weird.
Kasey came over bright and early to do the final walk through with us. We went through all of the warranties, mechanicals, the particulars of the plumbing, furnace and electrical system. We discussed ways to clean things, preventative measures and possible updates in the future. He gave us a big folder with all of the papers we might need for everything in the house. It's all tabbed- divided by category. We also got a magnet as a reminder of what kind of home maintenance items should be done with each season. And finally, on a nifty little house key chain, we got our keys.
Now that the building portion of our journey is over, I can honestly say that working with Kasey was a pleasure. He always kept us informed with everything that was going on. Our build was very fast, and overall the process was very smooth. If there was a problem, he always addressed it right away. I never felt like I was disturbing him or that we were anything less than his most important client.
The build is done, but that doesn't mean that I'm done with this blog. When I have some time there a few more things I'd like to write about. And, of course, I'll keep you updated on anything I think you would find useful.
If you've been following along, thanks. It's been fun.
How exciting! I must be a bit emotional today because I got a tear in my eye reading this. Thanks for the blog. It has helped us--we're in the framing stage now. I look forward to more posts. Did you count how many days it took from dig day to keys day?
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful! I hope you post pictures when you are all settled in:) Thank you for blogging-it has helped us a ton!
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful and I'm so glad things went well for you and hope for continuted satisfaction with your home. I'll admit to being jealous as your building experience with them is what I hoped ours would have been.
ReplyDeleteI've followed your entire Wayne Home Blog only to find out that they caused some constructional damage to the home...my wife and I both were in the plan to build with them, but after reading many complaints by other customer I think we'll pass
DeleteI'm interested to find out what negative things you have heard. My husband is really pushing building with Wayne. Thanks
DeleteThanks for all your posts. You promted me to start my own blog too. http://buildingournewjamestown.blogspot.com/p/dig-day.html
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new house.
This was weeks ago...can you puh-lease post some pictures?
ReplyDeleteWe've been following your blog all along-and we also enjoyed your open house:) We have a question for you-if you have time, could you email us at andygross855@gmail.com, giving us your email so we can send you our question? Thanks again for your time in doing this blog, it has helped us a ton!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the midst of making some final decision to build with Wayne and stumbled upon your positive blog. I am curious about your choice of poured vs. block walls. I have been told block is the standard and that poured would be an upgrade. I also have read on other blogs that poured is a standard. Can you please comment on this choice? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWe are currently building and block was standard for us. I wonder if it depends on the area? On Brent's blog, I think he mentioned his poured walls were standard. That's one thing that always puzzled me too. Here's our blog if you'd like to see our progress.

ReplyDeleteThank you for writing your blog. We are considering a build with Wayne in the near future and the Montgomery is our top contender if we can stay in budget. We would love to know how it's going now and how Wayne has been now that the house is "Finished". We appreciate it!

ReplyDeleteWe are getting ready to sign with Wayne homes and were wondering if you had any updates to share. We are going to build a Montgomery Craftsman. Did you take the painting/flooring/lighting credits? If so, would you mind sharing what they were? Also, where are you in NW Ohio? We are close to Findlay. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLindsey, we are out of Findlay too. Did you end up building? If so, how was the process and outcome? Thanks!
DeleteOhiowaynehomestead.blogspot.com is my blog if you would like to see our journey or have any questions, Ashley. :) OhioMags, have you had your two year fit and finish? If so, (or not, really) how did it go? Thanks again!
