Long grass wouldn't worry me, nor a bit of a mess I suppose, but what I can't understand is when what I would consider a part of the sale is taken away. The gazebo for instance, or shrubs. I would feel that what I had seen, was what I was buying, unless the sellers asked me would I mind if they took this prized rose that reminded them of their old dead Aunt Mary. Or, could we take some of the daffodils, would that be all right? And yes, of course it would be. Yet, with some people, it is considered normal to rip out shrubs and young trees to take to their new place, after the sale. So strange. Anyhow, I am glad that you've 'moved on', musicgold, as it's NOT worth the angst to pursue this sort of thing. But please, next time, refuse to settle unless and until they put back what they take.

The final walk thru is not an opportunity for the buyer to "renegotiate" your deal. It is simply to make sure whatever was supposed to be included in the sale was left (appliances, light fixtures etc). It is also to make sure everything is in working order and in the same condition as when they put the offer in on the house. The carpet is the carpet, and it was the same when they looked at it. It doesnt sound like you are going to have a problem. Occasionally, some buyers feel like the walk thru is another opportunity for a 2nd home inspection. Unless something is broken or drastically changed, you should say "no" to any credits at closing.

Sometimes, but it's not far and it's so nice to have all the food in one area and organized. I love not having to reach into cabinets to find the food and it makes putting things away really easy. Having the counter in the pantry allows us to put all the grocery bags there from the store and empty at will without taking up kitchen counter space as well. It's probably one of the best decisions we made and I'm glad we did the walk through. Walking around the whole time would have been a real PITA. Good luck!
