What's a "KB"??


And yeah it seemed like everything was an option or an upgrade. However the "standard" items that came with the home were nice as well, we just wanted upgrades is all.

An example would be the wood. Oak hardwoods were standard.
Nothing wrong with oak, it was very nice. We just wanted a darker wood. Cherry. Fucking expensive. Naturally they give you a credit on the oak to upgrade to the Brazillian cherry, but fuck cherry was expensive. And naturally the oak was standard only in certain parts of the home. We wanted hardwoods more or less throughout.

Same with the cabinents. Oak was standard. It was an extra 3 grand to move up to Brazilian Cherry for the cabinents. fuckers

The tub in the master was a soaking tub with jets, very nice for a standard.. We paid a whole 2.5 grand more and got the best tub we could find. Hydromax with all the extras. Fucking raped us.

Kitchen had granite tile as standard fo the island. We wanted granite slab on the island and on the counters, and on the backslab. Fuckin got raped!!!

Tile comes standard around the herth and fireplace. We made it granite. $$ ouch.

Upgraded even little things from sinks to doors all bling bling.

We paid extra for an upgrade on a roof. Why I dont know.
The father inlaw seemed to think we needed a better roof. Fuck, this aint the street of dreams I thought. WHo cares about roofs.

I even paid an extra 250.00 to put this ethernet thing in the house I have no idea what it is or does!! I know the wiring is like a cat 5 wiring system and all the wiring is networked and shit, but I have no idea what that means. Theres some modem network shit in this one room I paid for and I dont even know what it is!!

I mean shit. All this and I still dont have a backyard.....
FUCK
