DAY 1 - 3 IN A NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME | NEW HOME TIPS | DR HORTON

[@TheVelvetsky614]

D.H. Horton recommends running the oven self cleaning cycle before using it :-)

[@theirvs793]

Thank you for sharing that reminder, and we appreciate you for watching! 😊

[@dj.1094]

Another tip i got from a new home owner you tuber, check the sprinkler timer. Set it so it doesn’t run too often. Unfortunately she ended up with an $800 water bill.

[@theirvs793]

Great tip!! Initially ours was on 7 minutes for each zone. We have reduced it to 4 minutes. It’s getting colder so we only water once a week now.

[@thekirksiffs5285]

It is maddening that professionals would not be careful with trash and it ends up in the pipes. Our house was newly built 32 years ago, and we used to come by from time to time to walk through the construction. One time we found heat vents with chip wrappers stuffed in them. Someone had to to that intentionally, and we had to clean it out. WHY????? Your home and floor plan is amazing. I originally found you by looking for reviews on the Samsung Flex Fridge. Your review was excellent, and your reasons for wanting that style match mine too.

[@theirvs793]

Awesome, did you all end up getting the flex fridge?

[@seewardone]

Thanks for this, I haven't found a video like this on KZbin that is as well organized and truly informative. Congratulations on your new home 🙏🏽

[@theirvs793]

Thank you! Happy we were able to help.

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

Thanks!! I have bought 2 homes and never knew to run your oven to get that smell out..😊

[@theirvs793]

If you have a fireplace do the same with that!! I don’t know if the fireplace smell will ever go away. We’ve been at it for months now.

[@marilynswagg3243]

Thanks for the tips! We are building as well and I’ll definitely use them after we close. Just subscribed and I’m excited to see all the videos 😍

[@theirvs793]

Congratulations on building!!! The journey can be a lot at times, and it is so worth it in the end. We are happy the tips will be useful for you.

[@queenbrih]

Same here Marilyn! We are closing the end of this month and it’s been a great journey

[@Ms_Jarpah]

Lots of helpful tips! I'll add read your welcome packet page to page. I found out that our city give 30 days free to run the irrigation system. We will have to call them first. So definitely check with your city. We don’t have our grass install, so I have my reminder on to call our city when we get our grass because I learned that new grass needs frequent watering than mature grass.

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much, and we second your comment about the new grass! Congratulations on your home, and we appreciate you for following our journey. 🙏🏽🤦🏽‍♀️

[@neciannsjournal]

Thanks for the tips. We are looking to close on our new construction home soon and we will definitely use these. You got a new subscriber 🥰

[@theirvs793]

Our pleasure! One new thing we wish we could add to the video....if you have a gas fireplace, run that thing! It needs to burn some chemicals off also.

[@JollyHell]

Nice of you guys to bring us along with your new home experience. Tips always help.

[@theirvs793]

Thanks for joining us!

[@shawandahills4380]

Not worrying about doing it on the builders dime but these are truly some helpful tips that I didn't think about and need. What else you got! Spread the knowledge.

[@theirvs793]

More tips coming soon!! We have so much to share about this journey. Thanks!

[@JuniorShepherd]

Congrats on your new home! My wife and I are about to close on ours in a couple of days. :) I came across your videos on KZbin looking for reviews on the Samsung fridge you all just bought not long ago. We decided to go with the model that is a step down from the one with the beverage center (still a 4-door flex).

[@theirvs793]

Congratulations on your new home also!! Being able to make that bottom right area a freezer or frig is a game changer! Enjoy it! Ohh and the ice bites are amazing!!! 😅

[@BlackDiamond1239]

I just have to say thank you for all these tips. I will definitely do all of these things when I close in February. Also, you all are such a lovely couple.

[@theirvs793]

Thank you!! We are happy you found them useful. To add to the tips, if you have a gas fireplace go ahead and run that too. You’ll think something is burning behind the walls 😅 but it’s just burning off its chemicals also.

[@DannyPerry160]

Good info, thanks. Would have never thought about these things.

[@theirvs793]

Glad to help

[@joshkeeton9616]

Our closing date is on a Friday, so I think we have until Wednesday to get those utilities switched. And that is a good amount of time to do all those things!

[@theirvs793]

That was our situation as well (Friday closing). One tip: We would suggest calling your sanitation dept. first if you don't already have a city/county garbage can. If your city/county is short-staffed like ours, it may take them a few days to deliver your cans and/or start picking up your trash.

[@DhatGyrl18]

We’re in the process of buying a new build and this was very helpful!

[@theirvs793]

How's the journey going?

[@FlowAndGroww]

Yall are so smart! Yes, let them pay! Thanks

[@theirvs793]

Thank you!!

[@dianedo8314]

Congrats on your new home purchase and and thank u for the great tips! I sure will run the appliances and hope that we can match the delivery of our washer/dryer with tentative closing date builder gave us. We are slated to close mid November! Enjoy your home and looking forward to learn as u post! 👍❤️🥰

[@theirvs793]

How's the new home?!

[@oludre100]

Thanks. we just closed on our new house. We ran the heat, water and lights alot since the builder was still paying the bills. But once we transferred all utilities we behaved ourselves. 😆

[@theirvs793]

Congratulations!!!

[@eldercole73]

Your house looks amazing! So happy for you guys. Just found your videos so I will be getting caught up.

[@theirvs793]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@NYCAppl3]

Ooh, these are some really great tips 👍🏾

[@theirvs793]

Happy they were helpful!

[@ericaconsults]

These are really great tips - however, since we are a custom build on our own property, we do not have coverage of utilities by our builder during any point in our process. We are paying while they are currently working on our home. Thankfully, we have it on a budget plan so it is a very low cost each month.

[@theirvs793]

Custom build - amazing! I'm sure the KZbin world would love to hear your story also.

[@lakisharuffin500]

Thanks so much! So does DR Horton definitely pay the first 3 days?

[@theirvs793]

Thank you for watching! While DR Horton provided that in our community, it may not be the case in every community. On or very close to your closing day is likely when you will find out if there is a paid grace period for you to get things activated in your name. Hope that helps! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@lisagarrido2147]

New subscriber and loving your channel! We’re huge fans of Mr. Ramsey too! We’re in the process of buying a new construction and wondering if after completing an inspection, If your inspector went out again to make sure all the problems were fixed? Our inspector found several issues and even a safety hazard during the phase 2 inspection, and not sure if we should pay to have him go back once the builder reports those issues have been fixed. Do we trust the builder or have him go back? Thanks for all the useful information!

[@theirvs793]

Hi there, and thank you for watching! Most inspectors will offer you a “re-inspection” following the builder’s corrections. If you have the time to pay for that service, it definitely can help your peace of mind. We had a great build team that quickly resolved the minor issues our inspector found, but if we had major concerns (as you may) or if we couldn’t visit our lot as often, a “re-inspection” certainly would have been in order. Hope that helps! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@lisagarrido2147]

@@theirvs793 thank you for your reply. I didn’t realize my notifications was turned off, otherwise I would of responded earlier. I appreciate your feedback. My home just passed phase 2 inspection, so I’ll be sure to watch your videos about your construction journey. 😊

[@sharonwhyte-murphy1488]

Thanks for the tips, I have done everything except the oven part. I am doing it today as the builder is still paying my gas and electric bill.

My first house my garbage disposal didn’t work. It wasn’t plugged in an electrical outlet had to be made for it.

[@theirvs793]

Oh, wow! Sorry to hear that about your garbage disposal, and it's a good thing you caught it. We'll be talking about situations like that in one of our future videos about inspections. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
