First off, I can't say how pleased and seeming lucky my unit has not had the issues others have. That makes me happy
The weird part is now I have some time to finally get around to decorating the inside and finding things that make my brain stop and think "I probably got the new guy".
Didn't like the headboard and went to take it off, the short finish nails pulled out fine...it was the wavy line of 1/4" thick or more silicon glue stuck to the wall which tore part of the paper off had me thinking "er, what?".
There is a beautiful mirror...in the commode room (floor plan is commode only room with laundry next to it in the general bath area). This is in the wrong place so I removed the screws and mirror locks - but its stuck on like the headboard. "er, what?"
Putting up new curtains and noticed two things: the wrought iron rod has the arrow head ends welded on. They don't come off at all so its hard to remove the existing small side curtains and put new ones up. "er, what?"
Removed the lights under the book cabinet on the dining side to find a huge hole had be cut out and covered up with the light fixture on both sides. "er, what?"
While working on the back window of the entry slide out over the recliners, the valance (wood covered with fabric) wasn't secured at all but there were screws drilled into the wall just a hair outside of the valance. "er, what?"
All wood blinds are all at least 4" longer than the window frame and hang up on the L brackets holding the bottom of the side curtains. "er, what?"
There are a few other things that just kind of make me scratch my head, nothing spectacular and I know this was a amalgam of 2 different floor plans and interior decor but it's kind of tough when you come from a building background and know how to measure twice, cut or drill once and silicon isn't the best "glue" to use on the kind of walls on these and all manufactured units
