PDI complete!

Today was the PDI. I met with Mark A. from Mattamy. We all got there right at 2pm. First thing I noticed was a lot of the little green pieces of painter's tape was gone in my house although a few still remained. I took that to mean that they came in and did some repairs/touch ups. The next thing was that the electricity was not working. Mark told me that they are waiting for Hydro to finish and to flip the switch. I had him note that we will not be able to test anything electrical related on the PDI list. Then we started upstairs and went into each room and then worked our way downstairs and then outside. Overall, I didn't see anything major. Most of the windows had their screens missing but while we were there, someone had dropped them all off. To my eye, the workmanship overall looked pretty good. Nothing seemed really crooked or installed poorly. Pretty much all the items on my list were cosmetic in nature and for the most part, very minor. Mark had pointed out a couple things here and there which I didn't notice. I didn't feel rushed either. Honestly, if I really wanted to be particular, I could have noted down more minor blemishes but in my mind, these don't concern me. I'm willing to bet I'll cause much worse when I'm moving all my stuff in. Some of the stuff that were noted:

- floor squeak in upper hallway near bedroom 2
- window catching in master bedroom
- caulking not complete in master ensuite
- end of countertop of master ensuite vanity not complete
- minor drywall damage around shower
- fix caulking in main bath on right side
- heat register not fitting properly
- paint/scuffs on railings
- repair ceiling in great room (looks like they had to cut a piece out to get at something)
- fix drywall and gap around hood fan duct box
- waterline to fridge incomplete
- garage had gap on right side, trim incomplete
- some chips at bottom where fridge cove is

So that's pretty much it. Honestly, I don't think all of my PDI list items will be complete before I close but like I said, most of it is relatively minor. On some of the blemishes I had noted, I had to look pretty hard for them. We did go outside to look at the exterior but everything looked fine to my untrained eye. We couldn't access the backyard either. I'll let my home inspector look more closely at my house after I close for the 30-day list.

I asked how many other people are closing this week and he said three. My block and 503 are the first ones to close. Next will be 507. Three more days!!!
