Walkthrough?

Yes Jay, you heard me right, I want to do a walk-through before closing. (P.S. Jay is our realtor in case you didn't guess). Who does a walk-through of vacant land? What is there to see? However, being one for tradition or process or whatever you want to call it, I was determined.

Lewis and Clark, better known as Tom and Alex, were our leaders. Liam right behind and then Jay, then me (with James in the backpack). Weather a little soggy but a mild 50 degrees and no precipitation.
Stake to stake, we followed the survey and as we can tell you, nothing had changed since the last time there. Well, except that the property seems bigger somehow when you actually walk the entire perimeter, through the trees and brush, with no path and an almost 3 year old on your back.

The other thing we noted was that the property opens up faster that we originally thought, but that's because there are a lot more trees in the front portion that we first thought. This is good, trees are good. Of course, unless they are big junky trees (read Ash trees) that need to come down. But the house will hopefully be set a bit farther back on the property and the driveway will "meander". Don't you just love a meandering driveway!
Oh, and Liam found a baseball bat, so that was good too!

A special thanks to Jay, for humoring us.


Here is the frontage (remember it's "too short" and required the variance). You can see the pink flags marking where the driveway will be. Also, to the left you will see the for-sale sign; turns out it's not even posted in front of the actual property!
