2/23/08: This will be the last update thread to my earlier messages regarding the home we have now been in for a little more than a year. But will check this forum occasionally to see if any questions remain unanswered. This mod is our second home--we spent 40% of our time in it in 2007. Basically, it is a nice, well-constructed home. Just a few things have had to be improved: 1) better door locks 2)better paint on the crown moulding 3) plus, a few repairs that were mentioned previously on this thread (a few drywall repairs, etc. but nothing really large). The heat pump works fine unless the temp goes down below low teens at which time, we use extra space heaters in the room that seems a bit too cool--A/C works great. The plumbing fixtures are outstanding. The carpeting is wearing well. We replaced some of the lighting fixtures with better, more stylish ones. We replaced most of lthe window treatments with better shades, etc. The vinyl siding is not so good--very thin. I hit several rocks mowing before the grass covered the yard which slammed against the siding and knocked three holes in the siding and broke two of the windows. I was sick about it but plan to make a a patch on each hole from electrical cover plates and will replace the window (was one of the double pane windows --outside part was cracked). Final comment: we are proud of our Richfield mod--receive a lot of compliments--love our stone fire place, tall ceilings, large crown moulding, roominess (2,205 square feet), floor plan etc. Would do it all over again. Contact me if you have a question. nachosupreme@mac.com
