Make sure if you are bitching, you aren't just bitching. You need to request specific actions that you expect them to take. Don't leave that up to them, tell them what they can do to make you happy.

Just gonna take a long time to prime + paint the entire thing but we're getting there.
Cleaned out the gutters from the debris rain that me neighbors spruce trees constantly shed. Kinda hate heights. But installed some gutter gaurd over the area closest to the trees. Also picked up 15 gallons of cones off the ground. Ugh, I hate spruce trees.

Typing this from a former (1999) Albi showhome. Yeah they're a fairly good builder, and yes this place has had its issues, more than a normal house? probably not.
Also, full disclosure:
Mrs. Penguin works for one of the better builders in town (not Albi). That said, I may be slightly biased, but I do have an open mind.

Am curious as well, am living in one of our community's show homes from 1955, house seems as good as any of the others around. Being in the construction industry now, I would dare say that show homes usually have more care and attention put into them or at least that's been my personal experiance.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

When they're new models for new communities they're often the "guinea pig" they get thrown up fastest because it's sales it's always an unrealistically tight deadline. Stuff gets missed, problems are always encountered, deadline remains.
I remember more than a few "heated" discussions about warranty terms outside with site supers on trades days. (Difference between regular build/immediate turnover vs showhome - could be 2-5yrs later, long after the usual warranty; but then show us the annual required maintenance etc that's never done and fight ensues)
