We had our walk-through yesterday and it went well. We took some pictures (nothing special, just for our reference) and some measurements. Its funny how you remember things. Some of the rooms seemed bigger than we remembered and others smaller or just different dimensions. The termite damage repairs weren't done due to the rain, but they are hoping to do that today.
Now our to-do list is even bigger, but it still isn't huge and we have lots of decisions to make as for what styles to use in the rooms we are re-doing. We are re-doing a lot in the upstairs bathroom and have a few changes to make in the downstairs one. We are also trying to decide whether we want to put in new tile in the kitchen along the backsplash. What they put in isn't our favorite, but it isn't as bad as we remembered. So, I don't know. Maybe we'll just get an estimate and go from there.
We met the sellers and they are super nice people. They are even giving us their living room rug! Its a big wool one from Pottery Barn, so I think that was very generous. Hopefully it will look nice with our furniture because our rug is pretty old.
The lady was telling us about all the different trees in the yard and they have a persimmon and a Gordon apple, just like we do. Kinda weird since most people haven't even heard of Gordon apples. There are also Valencia and navel orange trees and of course the giant walnut in the back. I think there is a black berry bush too.
Yesterday afternoon we went to sign papers at the escrow company. We took Jacob with us and he was very entertaining! He had a book and wanted the escrow officer to read to him. Fortunately she likes kids and even has 2 (grown) sons very close in age.
If everything goes as planned, we are set to close on the 30th. Can't wait!
