Time to decide

[jmh1783]

Woodworking is a hobby of mine so I spent two days going through all the scrap wood I have deciding what is worth keeping and what to toss. I've already gone through a ton of stuff just to get the house and shed looking presentable to get the house on the market. It took me three days to go through my shed and I think the thing is only 12 x 16. I've also moved a bunch of stuff into storage which I'll have to reclaim later. Today and tomorrow I'm moving all my hardwood lumber into storage. I don't want to pay the movers to move it and I won't have a need for it right away. I'm glad I did all my tractor research up front. When I finally get into my new place, I won't have a lot of time for shopping.

Sounds like you have had some bad experiences. My parents moved around a lot when I was growing up. I've tried not to do that but I've been through 14 moves in my life. Never had the kind of troubles you've had. I remember they were hard on my mom's antiques a few times. Then there is always the occasional broken dish or glass. My move into my current home was uneventful. The previous one I packed and they moved. The one before that I did myself...painful. I'm hoping this move goes smoothly.

Yeah I've moved a lot, even overseas and my dad moved us several times too so it's nothing new to me. Things may be different in CA since all my moving difficulty has been in this state.
