Can ～て初めて grammar be used with negative verbs?


I found many examples for ～て初めて with positive verbs, for example:

  * > 生まれて初めて寿司を食べた。It is the first time in my life I ate sushi.

  * > 病気になって初めて健康の有り難さが分かってきた。I began to know the value of health only after I was ill.

# Question

Can ～て初めて be used with negative verbs? Are there any examples?

## Bonus question

Is it correct to use ～て初めて as follows?

> あの角を右へ曲がって初めて先生の家が見えます。The teacher's house will be visible only after you
> turn right at that corner.




Sure, you can use it with a negative predicate no problem:
生まれて初めておいしいケーキを見て食べたくならなかった。

For the second, in the case that you're giving someone directions or
something, it doesn't sound wrong, but 初めて sounds like the first time
**ever**. Maybe …曲がったところで、（やっと・やがて）先生の家が見えてくるはずなんです is better?
