I enjoyed the man’s description of the house and could tell which rooms he was describing, but without the pictures to follow it would have been harder. I might have missed some.

I wasn’t sure of what he meant by ‘wood’ after indicating where the garage was. I thought he meant there was a garage and woodshop off to the side of the house. After rewatching it I thought maybe he meant the garage doors were wood, though he didn’t sign ‘door’. I finally decided that, since he indicated the house was made of stone, he probably meant the garage was made of wood, but I’m not 100% sure of that.

I loved how he described the front door and the pattern in the glass and showed the glass side-lights by the door.

In the living room at the end he signed something about the fireplace I think? He used a sign before it where both B hands rolled over each other forward. That isn’t fire, nor piano, but it led up to him describing the arc of the fireplace shape and then describing the high ceilings. I’m not quite sure what that sign was. I thought it meant something like ‘moving on’ or ‘going forward’.

I loved his informal dining room description. I clearly understood the window, table and seat placement and the flower arrangement on the table and the view of trees outside.

When he moved upstairs to the bedrooms and the kid’s area I understood all that, but I could not figure out exactly what he was spelling after kid: kid area, kid loft, kid space? I think I got the jist, but I really need practice with all my finger spelling. I couldn’t make out any of his spelling except for the address.

He was obsessed with all the chandeliers and did a great job on those as well as the outside pool and play ground area. He loved the word fancy, too, but to be fair the place was very, very fancy!

All in all I don’t think there were many parts I had so much difficulty with that I wouldn’t understand the basic layout of the house, but I did rewatch it several times, and eventually slowed it down to try to get the small details.
