It has been quite a long time since I updated this blog. Honestly, we haven't had a lot of new things in our house since then so if you see there are not a lot of updates since our last post, that's the reason. However, we have been in the house long enough to show you how it has gone through settling stage and some "wear and tear". The first thing we noticed is the quality of our wooden floor and carpet. We upgraded the wooden floor to Level B hardwood - Armstrong Rural Living Hickory engineered hardwood in Misty Gray and Level B carpet in Morning Fog.
We moved in end of July 2017 and now it's Spring 2018, so our house has gone through last Summer, Fall, Winter, and a few weeks of this Spring. We've seen cracks at multiple places on the drywall. They all look scary, like something is very wrong with the structure of the house, but from what I read it's actually normal for a new construction during its settlement. We will wait a little longer toward the end of the first year before calling Ryan Homes service to come and fix the cracks because the warranty covers only 1 time drywall service during the first year. To know more about their warranty and home care tips, go to myryanhome.com. We've tried to complete the first floor or at least have it ready for a housewarming party so the second floor and the basement are still a mess. Nevertheless, I want to show you how my fully-furnished main floor looks like. Again, if you wonder where I got certain pieces of furniture or decor, just write a comment below the post and I'll get to you quickly.

How did Ryan do with fixing the cracks in the drywall? Our house will be done next month, and this is what concerns me the most. We don't plan on painting until our one year drywall fix is done. House looks great!

Thank you! They covered all of the cracks well, as well as nails popped. You don't have to be so concerned. It's normal for new houses. It will take a few years for the house to be done settling.
