My home is beautiful but the appliances still are not working. During the walthrough we were told that in no time the appliances will be fixed. It is one month in and we can't do laundry due to the laundry machine not working. I have young children who go to school and I have been going to friend's to do washing and drying. Please let's get that fixed. Thank you

A little west so there are not alot of restaurants or convenience stores available. However, we feel we are on our own little vacation home on a huge lake lot. It's nice and quiet.
