Our final walk-thru took place on Thursday. Along with Dave, our superintendent, we also had two other people walk with us. It was definitely beneficial to have extra eyes as we went thru each room. The walk-thru took us 2.5 hours. I think it could have taken much longer had we not been visiting the house almost every day. As we walked each room I had a notebook to write down everything Dave said, while the others had a roll of blue tape to put on things needing fixed (mostly just marks on the wall, ceiling and baseboards). Dave was also writing things down, along with checking all the windows, drawers and doors. After walking the inside we worked our way outside. We had a small list of things needing done, nothing major. Once the house was checked Dave went over the Homeowners manual with us. The homeowners manual contains every detail about about the care of the house and appliances (HVAC, water heater, etc).

After the items on our list are fixed we will have a short walk-thru Wednesday to follow up. We close Thursday morning!
I enjoyed reading your blog about your home building experiences with Fischer Homes. Now that you are living in the house can you tell me if you've run into any issues? How has the follow up been from Fischer? Knowing what you know what kinds of things do you wish you would have known or done differently? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI too have enjoyed reading this blog. We are at the early stages of thinking about a plan and site we like...and possibly building with Fischer this year. I would love to hear how you like the house now, and what you would do differently. Thanks!! =)
ReplyDeleteThis blog was so helpful as we're about to build a fischer home also. Would love to see 1 post move in update!
