We all experience much of the same experiences moving into a new community and our newly built homes.
1- It never completely ends.
2- There's always something.
3- Warranties expire just before something breaks.
I wax cryptic. What I am really saying is - amazingly to me - the builders can undo, redo, rebuild or fix anything. Like when the big trash container-on-truck smashed into our roof under construction.
We watched a concrete pour down the street. A day or so later they were taking it out with hammer thing on back of tractor. (You can tell I have the lingo... I am helpless around all but a screwdriver and hammer.)
Just out of warranty our upstairs (TV room) frig lost its thermostat. Service call to diagnose. Wait for parts. Service call to replace. Replaced unit defective. HAPPILY a spare on the truck. (The law of steady state luck: the total amount of luck in the universe is a constant - means...) someone else will have something on order, and not working, for way too long - oh wait - it's us - we've been trying to get the sparker on our outdoor grille replaced since, oh, forever. CERTAINLY since the match hit the gas and took the hair off my right arm.
We are not alone. Your contributions of move-in joy are encouraged. It's like group therapy. Names can be disguised if you wish. But they can and likely eventually will fix anything and everything. So take heart.
