Pre-drywall walk-through
George, our construction manager, asked us to walk through the house over the weekend to look at all of the electrical and plumbing to make sure everything is in the right place. He wanted us to do this before they begin hanging dry-wall. There was one little issue that AJ noticed right away...the HVAC, go figure. ;-) In the pre-construction meeting we specifically asked them to put the vents near the exterior walls. The vents were placed correctly on the first floor, but on the second floor all the vents were placed near interior walls. AJ, being the HVAC expert, explained to me that it is more energy-efficient to have vents on exterior walls because that's where the biggest heat loss/gain factor lies. SO, here's the question...should we let it go...or should we be "those people" and ask them to re-do it?? What are your thoughts??

Hey cousins! House looks great, very exciting and stressful at the same time...I can certainly relate!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely have them move the HVAC if it's something you specified in writing. It's a big house and you don't want it to be inefficient!
Best of luck!!

Be "those people" for sure! This is your house, and you're paying to have it built the way you want it! Ain't no shame in asking them to re-do the vents! It looks amazing you guys- I swear it was like 3 minutes ago when the pics on the blog were of the 2 of you on an empty lot! Incredible!
