On another note, I sat down and tried to put together a floor plan of the Sunset wing of the house (the part we are most likely taking down). So, here is what I came up with...
I placed the master bedroom and bath so you could see where this part attaches to the rest of the house. Views of the city are approximate, of course, but if we stand at the windows on that side of the sunset room, we see Sacramento off in the distance in the direction indicated. The train runs on the other side of the hill (shown here on the top of this photo) and is actually lower than the house, I believe. So although we can see the train through the trees in places, and we certainly hear it, it is quite muffled behind the rocks.
Tomorrow we're headed back up to make sure things look good for the appraisal. We'll also be on a mission to find the septic clean out, etc. so we can save a bundle when they come out to check the system. Yesterday when I called, the woman kept listing possible charges. I wasn't prepared for that many notes - I was using a 3 x 3 post it! $175 if they have to hunt for the drains, $175 if they have to dig for the drains, on and on. Welcome to the country, huh? Anyway, we'll get out there and save ourselves some money - and get to know the property a little better!
Day 21
General comments after reviewing all the blogs.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing all the foliage that you see out of the windows. It gives you a sense of privacy and adds beauty to the area.
I can not remember seeing rods in the closets for hanging clothes, there are lots of shelves.
In case you are wondering, I have made several comments (~ 5 or 6) on other blogs. I do not remember which ones.
