We had our final walk through on Thursday afternoon - and were sufficiently weirded out with how much stuff wasn't packed. The sellers were going to close on their new house on late Friday afternoon, and we were closing early Friday afternoon, so we expected they would be out of the house by then. Nope! Silly us. They were there, well, the "movers" were there until 5:30pm. We finished closing at 1:30pm. I say "movers" because they hardly looked professional. We sat in our car around the corner and watched them for a while like the creepers that we are, and the friend of the seller's actually helped them with the furniture several times.
In my experience, if I touched anything once the movers had their hands on it, they weren't liable for the box/furniture during the move. Like, I wasn't even allowed to write on the boxes.
Anyway, so now it's our house, yay! I have some projects in mind already... including a complete bathroom overhaul, and potentially moving a wall and making the hall bathroom a little smaller so we can make the master bathroom bigger... yea. But that project is 3+ years out from now.
Immediate (this spring/summer) projects: paint/tile the kitchen walls. replace the patio bricks in the backyard (they're super ugly), either repaint or refinish the exterior of the hot tub & the deck, start a garden, and plant my Natalie tree. It will be a challenge, but I think getting those things done will help make us feel more "at home" in this house. Then again, getting our furniture in the house will help too.... ha.
Okay okay okay, pictures! Sorry some of them are really terrible, this was my first time taking panoramic images with this phone. (Also I was really excited to be in the house.) But, you get the idea. Sort of.
