Schedule Your Home Builder Warranty Inspection

Many new home owners opt not to inspect their new homes prior to possession. With Alberta required warranties and home builder requirements there is time to get it inspected as late as the 11th month of ownership.

Once your home is 12 months old you may be required to sign off on your home builders obligations for warranty repairs. This inspection is the time to ensure that there is no repairs that need to be performed by the builder before the warranty is up. At this point the costs are passed on to you, the homeowner.

There are options when you come to the end of your warranty.  Regardless of the option you choose the builder must receive a documented list of needed repairs and defects. If the builder does not receive this list they may not have to honor your warranty claims.

Your Options:

11 Month Warranty Inspection

  • Do a walk through of your home and note all defects and repairs that need to be completed. It will be hard to pick up on many hidden defects without specialized equipment and a trained eye.
  • Rely on the person that is provided by your builder.  The representative provided by your builder may not have your best interest in mind.
  •  Hire a Certified Home Inspector.  A certified inspector will have the knowledge and tools that may allow problems to be detected that are not visible with the naked eye.

Many issues are due to moisture and water intrusion which can lead to a larger problem if they are not identified and corrected. These can result in structural damages in the future.

Your inspection may also uncover areas that need to be addressed by you; the homeowner. Damages to shingles, filters that need to be replaced, grade and landscaping concerns can all lead to costly repairs down the line.

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
