My last post started, “Barring any further delays...” Well, this week brought yet another change to our closing date. We were hoping to move next weekend, but unfortunately, they can’t finish the kitchen island until late next Friday, which doesn’t leave enough time to close before the weekend. So we are currently planning on closing on Monday the 28th and moving what we can that evening and the following day. The girls will still start school on the 28th but we will have to drive them there and back. So that’s the latest on that.
Yesterday we had our walk-thru at the new house. We were both nervous because this was our chance to point out any cosmetic flaws in the house. After closing any scuffs, scraps, and chips are on us. Besides the kitchen island and installing the a/c the home is complete. When we got there they were putting the last coat of stain on the front door and installing the handle.
This was our first time seeing the wood floors sanded and finished. Unfortunately, by the time we were finished with the walk-thru and ready to take pictures, they had already covered most if it up to protect it while they work on the kitchen island... so no pictures this time.
Thankfully, we didn't find any major issues, mainly just areas that need a little touch up. Justin was very thorough and plastered the walls with blue painters tape so they wouldn't miss a thing. It was a good thing though, cause when he was checking out the window in the master bath he noticed a crack in the wood trim on the window seal.
Here’s a view of the backyard – I think it looks huge from this angle (a least for Seattle) and the sod seems to be doing really well.
There were hoof prints all over the front garden beds. The superintendent told us they would replace the plants in the front yard that have been destroyed by the deer right before closing and then it was up to us to find a way to keep them from eating everything. As we were leaving there were two deer across the street at the park munching on the grass.
They are fearless - I think we might have to name these guys cause it seems like will be seeing a lot of each other.

Wow- your back yard looks awesome!
Sorry to hear the closing date keeps getting pushed out. Hang in there- you'll be in your palace soon!
Glad the walk through went well too. And good luck with the deer! A great way to have a "pet" without having to get one yourself!
