There have, of course, been some mixups, some mistakes and some miscommunication. So far, everything has been fixed and we have been on the same page, for the most part. A couple of the funny things that we have had to work on together: the retaining wall and the brick on the front of the house. We didn't discuss the retaining wall at all. We knew it was there and that it would be bricked, but we never saw a picture/drawing/design for it. So, imagine my shock when I walked up to see this.
The wall is beautiful, but the uneven steps just about drove me bonkers.
After a quick talk with the builder, they changed it and this was the next version.

Where the arrow is, we've asked them to raise it 3 bricks so the drops are even.

A couple of days later, Jason took the girls for a ride in the Jeep and he called me a couple of minutes after leaving the house. He said, "We have a situation." He turned the camera on and showed me the house. I think my eyes bugged out of my head. Whyyyyy is there a huge hip on the side of the house?? It's just a wall, nothing behind it, so I'm not really sure what the thought process was for the brick mason to do this huge angle when the drawing has barely a curve at the bottom. Thankfully, they have fixed it. I haven't seen it up close yet (it's SO muddy), but I can tell it's gone.
