There is Light At the End of the Tunnel...HOORAY!

Ok, this is a job, no matter how you do it. We have been working a little at a time, doing one room at a time, however, now we are getting down to a couple of weeks and we need to get it done. This is what our built in shelves look like....empty.

Just six books left that need to be taken to the RV. The rest of the items either packed away as keepsakes, or taken to Good Will, or the girls took them.

Today we started taking things out into our screened in front porch, to set outside tomorrow to sell. I remembered a friend of ours who said the next time we had a yard sale to call her so I did. She brought another lady with her and between the two of them bought almost everything that was out there. One of them has a booth at a flea market and so she was taking a lot of it there. I didn't care, we got rid of things, made some money and one day closer to being done. I wanted to explain something before I go on. Yesterday a couple of people said they were envious that we didn't have to sell our house. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough before but we do have to sell it. The arrangement is that Dan and Hannah will live here for one year. They will pay certain bills and we will split a couple of bills, then after a year they will either decide to buy this house or move, then at that time if they don't want it we will be putting it on the market. The things that are here that they are storing for us, we will be able to store either at their new house or at our other daughter's home. The one big advantage is we don't have to "wait" to sell it before we leave. Maybe that is what some of you are talking about. And the other big advantage is we don't have to come back and go through things if we do have to put it on the market. It will be pretty much be ready to go, with a few items needed to be moved out. We need the money that the sell of the house would give us. We hope to put most of it in a CD to have in case we need to buy something else if we want to come off the road. And some of it will go on bills. We felt we could do one year fine without it and thus help out Dan and Hannah. I hope this clears up any confusion.  I know that there are others that are doing the same thing we are.  I am reading their blogs and we are relating to what we all are going through.

This TV cabinet is going down by the road tomorrow morning. OK no comments on the dust :) I will dust it before we try and sell it.

This is common through out the house, sacks hanging around with items for Lindsay to go through or taken out to the RV. Saves us from running back and forth all day. Funny how this all begins to get on your nerves.
Just your home being disrupted I guess kind of gets to you.

Here is our computer desk, disassembled ready to be reassembled down at the road and hopefully sold. It was too big to go through the door, as we put it together in the room.

Here is where the desk sat, with the end of it still sitting ready to go.

And don't even think of trying to sit in some of the chairs, there is "stuff" already there.  In this case, DVDs that are going to the RV.









This is a box of other items for Lindsay and Hannah to go through, then what is left will get taken to Good Will. We are almost out of items to go through so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just have the kitchen left and that will be it.

And what would moving be without boxes.  This is the last one to go through.  Woohoo!
