ParticipantWe fully expected that our home may depreciate by as much as 15%-20% in the next 12-18 months before getting better, but we’re OK, since we’re planning to live here for at least 5-10 years. However now it seems that the market has stabilized. New phase of Canopy Park is selling briskly, as I’ve heard. There are 2 new homes (both Plan 1) left in Stoney Creek but looks like StanPac is not willing to drop price. I guess they’re pretty confidence about the market getter better soon.
Today is the hottest day since we moved in. Temp at the Trolley Square was 96F at around noon. However when we got home, the interior temp was a cool 71F and it actually got hotter only after we opened some windows for ventilation (hot air blew in) but the max was still a tolerable and no A/C required 75F. These windows are truly energy efficient, with SGHC of 0.28 and U-Value of about 2 W/mK.

ParticipantThe blind guy was found by our realtor, not the same guy that does drapery (the bone-head that drilled into our drainage pipe) and his workmanship is quite decent. Each window also has a nice looking crown-molding-like cover. We never inquired about wood stain so don’t know the price different to white.
I believe he’s a mobile installer with no store/shop. My wife compared his sample with Lowe’s and IKEA (didn’t go to JCP) and found that his has better quality, faux wood has better feel to it and better materials for the pulleys and other mechanisms. My wife’s pretty nitpicky on these things but she’s quite satisfied with his work, even though the initial communication and price negotiating didn’t go well (my wife’s not very proficient in English and I had to work).
SDEngineer is right that Plan 6 most likely has more windows and window square footage than my Plan 2, since it’s about 200 sq.ft. bigger. Keep in mind that my sliding door is not installed (would’ve been $250 more) as we’ve chosen to go with dual layer curtain (sheer + regular). The $1,800 includes tax.
SDEngineer – you should shop around a bit more, as my wife says that Lowe’s samples show significant wear & tear and the mechanisms simply look cheap. I can’t imagine Home Depot’s offering being better quality. Perhaps you should check out JCP or elsewhere. If Unixed and you are interested, send me a private mail (not sure how to do it in Pigg but I’m sure there’s a way) and I’ll give you my blind guy’s phone #.

ParticipantI’m sure wood blinds are just fine. If you look at the model homes they have decorative roller blinds that’s wood color. I’m also quite sure that I’ve visited a unit in Riverwalk (couldn’t remember if it was in Canopy Park or Stoney Creek) that had wood blinds. Mine is white and it cost $1,800, without sliding door.
