I have been visiting the property every week or so to make sure things are OK and see is anything has changed. Inside the house, I saw places where the inspector had taken samples for asbestos testing (spoiler: there is asbestos). And outside the house, a few weeks ago the arborist came by and put up yellow flags everywhere we will need to add tree protection boundaries. Here is what those flags look like.

The red stake in the background is the property boundary. These flags are on the North side of the lot, just past the driveway.
While I was there, I took a picture of our view from the main floor of the existing house. You can see some ice on the river, at the edges. I was told that the river usually freezes over, although not in the last two years. There were different sets of tracks in the snow, but I was unable to identify the animals since the snow is not very deep.
