Naturally we're eager to get going, but...

A short post about the construction call we had. On June 25th of this year (2007), Ryan Bullock contaced us by e-mail saying that he wanted to have a conference call to get our Villa Specifications because our villa had been put on the construction schedule.

That basically gave us the following week to make our choices because the week after that was the 4th of July week where we (and practically every other Californian) would be out of town. His report was due the following Monday, July 9th.

The paint selections didn't arrive in the mail until the end of the week that we were out of town (and it may have even been as late as the Monday that Ryan's report was due - another Interior Jam issue) so we could not make an informed decision.

My only point is this... the lack of flexibility. We have been on hold since 2004 when we first made our purchase and then given "10 minutes" (I'm exaggerating, of course) to make all of our choices. Certainly owners should have a little more time to make these very important decisions. It's frustrating.

So to possibly help alleviate other people's frustration, we are willing to share our experience with anyone who may need help figuring this whole thing out. If you have any questions about the process that occurs BEFORE the furniture selection call, let us know and we'll be happy to shed some light on what we know!
