Oh, hello there hole in my french drain.....

We went to see the progress (lack of progress) on the house this Saturday, and we also talked with our neighbor for a bit, he is a great guy and very helpful, he had a backhoe out and was picking up the giant bricks, boulders and rocks and sticks in his years before they put topsoil down and offered to help us too!  

We were walking around the side of the house and looking at the new hole for the egress window (I cringe thinking they cut into our foundation like that, I'm so worried about the structural integrity of the house now!) and we saw there is a big hole in our french drain now, probably from excavating again.  So I email our new PM with a picture, we want to see the repair before they back fill too, because who knows, if we didn't bring it up, it may not have got fixed.  I also asked our Realtor if we can get RH to have a structural engineer out there to inspect the foundation once the new window is in and the old is filled up before they back fill   I think it's a totally legit request since it was there screw up.

I'm not pissed, yet at least, just concerned, so far they have addressed all the issues we've brought up, I hope they continue to do so too.


Yeah, this hole won't fly, I'm also pretty sure there is a ton of dirt now in the drain pipe, that will also need to be removed so it doesn't get clogged up.

  1. Good thing you caught that. Seems RH's "misses" catching a lot of these things, especially after the box has been checked that it's done. Hope you hear good news on the inspector!

    1. Thanks, I hope so too! I honestly wish we would have just said keep the window where it is and give us a free deck... now I'm so scared of the potential future problems that can happen because of all of this....

    1. I hope we hear good new too! I feel like we just have bad luck in general, nothing good we ever plan/buy goes right, but some how in the end we come out on top with free stuff... lol I'm hoping everything gets fixed and honestly, it's such a headache for us I think I'm going to request an extra upgrade.... granite counters maybe??

  3. Keep pressing. You are the one paying for the home. They should be working to solve any reasonable requests and all of your issues definitely seem reasonable to question/be fixed. Keep pushing, Rachael!

  4. Sometimes a picture is worth a million words. Thank you for posting. I will make sure we pay close attention to wok being done as it is being done.. Something like this might have been covered up if you did not notice it. I am not saying RH is evil, I am having an excellent time with them, but I am saying it may have been missed and covered up and forgotten.

    You are much further ahead than us (assuming you get some progress, haha). But I joined your blog and will watch out for things I need to look for in the future.. I am still blogging about selections and what have you..
