First, we walk the house. Together if you can, for you if you can't.
Someone from the crew comes to the house and walks it with you, room by room. You point out what matters, what you are unsure about, and what can simply go. If you are interstate or overseas, we do the same walk on a video call, slowly, with the phone held where you ask.
Nothing is decided that day. Nothing is moved. It is a look, not a start.
