Master Bath

So, I haven't posted much of anything about the master bath.  We didn't get any upgrades in here with exception to the jetted tub, dual shower head, and the space itself.  We didn't care for the upgrade options Ryan offered so plan to upgrade ourselves down the road.

This is the Master Bath with Jetted Tub, Dual His/Hers shower heads, & extended bathroom.

 Looking into the bathroom from the bedroom.  There are 2 pot lights that stradle the center of the tub and I wish I had changed it to only one so I could hang a chandilier over the tub.  I do love the windows and all the natural light the bathroom gets.  The tub is huge!

 Roman Shower with His and Hers shower heads.  We had my husbands raised up (he's 6'3 and mine lowered, I'm 5'3)  The shower seat is really nice and the shower is big!

Ryan in Ohio has to aim the lights up which I think is super weird.  We will be rotating them down soon.  I think the 5 lights is a bit of overkill but easily changed.

SO DISSAPOINTED!

When we picked the upgrades to our home we went over and over them with our SR.  We had asked for the side entry garage door to be moved towards the rear of the garage instead of the front (which is where it's placed normally for Ryan Homes).  She said, that shouldn't be a problem they move then all the time.  They get moved because having an entrance right next to the HUGE garage door is not practical.  Most people I know who have them towards the front don't use then and just end up putting stuff in front of them.  I could go on and on but I'll stop.

So I was suprised to see the side entry garage door toward the front and not in the back???  Apparantly the structure blah blah blah isn't made to have the garage door in the rear of the garage.  A bunch of made up excuses if you ask me...just say'n.  So I call the SR and ask if we can just remove it since it's not going to be moved and I could use the $900 somewhere else.  I recieved a short and snippy NO!  Nothing can be changed.

Well that's funny since you changed the location from the rear to the front.  So you can change stuff but we can't.

SO ANNOYED!

UPDATE!- Side door has been moved to the back.

My biggest gripe yet to date is the SINGLE SINK issue.  PM has tried but whoever is above him is not budging on the sink.  Because and I quote, "Your home is  new model and we don't want people walking through it to think that it comes with a single sink"...Um, excuse me!  It's not YOUR HOUSE!  This comment really upset me.  I apparently am going to get no where with RH so I'm going to talk to the granite guys and see if they can do a light install on the sink so changing it out will be easier.  I will give an update when I talk to them which should be in a week or so.

UPDATE! - Single sink has been approved!  Thanks to my PM and SR for working so hard for us...YEAH!!!

Non Standards - Yes or DENIED!

Here is our list of Non Standards that we requested.

1. Front Entry - there appears to be a small wall on the right side of the front hallway.  Not sure what/why etc.  Will ask at Pre-con and update later 
2. Remove middle window in the Family Room - YES 
3. Cut the corner of the family room carpet and replace with wood.  With it left the say it was all traffic would trample one corner of the carpet to get to the kitchen - YES, that will be and additional $275
4. Ryan Homes sink is a 60/40 split.  We want a single bowl sink - DENIED.  We will revisit this with our PM and see what happens
5. Cabinet to be fitted for garbage cans - DENIED. Pretty stupid being denied since a lot of models I've been through have this option in them.  I'll buy the kit from Lowes and see if PM will install for us.  If not, we will do this on our own.
6. Alternate Layout for the microwave.  I hate having it right about the stove top.  I feel like it crowds my head space.  I would much rather have a range hood. - DENIED.
7. Can I have a range hood and no microwave - DENIED.
8. I had my heart set on cream cabinets and a chocolate brown island.  I requested to have Rushmore Maple Espresso on the Island (same profile as the cream cabinets + another blogger asked for the same thing and got it) I was - DENIED
9. Glass fronts on some of the cabinets - DENIED
10. Remove wall between the 2 master closets - YES
11. Don't install wire shelving in the kids closets - YES
12. Make shower in the Master bath a Roman Shower - YES, that will be an additional $495
13. Tile surround for kids tub/showers - DENIED

As you can see we were DENIED on what I thought were pretty easy requests.  Super dissapointed!
