Good news John! Moving can be a pain, but also a good forcing function to rethink what you own, to think about what you really need.
In my early 40’s I was joining a group, the get-to-know-one-another topic was “how many places have you lived?” I came up with 37 different addresses where I had lived for at least 3 months! And then we lived in Kansas City for 27 years. Moving to Michigan, we sold or gave away many things. When our house here was flooded in 2020, much had to be thrown away, many things went into boxes in storage waiting, e.g., for the day the kitchen cabinets would be rebuilt. Still waiting. And we have been able to get by without those things still buried in storage. Speaking of storage PODS, one good source in our area is U-Haul. We used their pods after the flood for temporary storage in our driveway, but if we had been moving, they could have hauled away the full pods, stored them in a facility for a day or week or however long, then delivered to the new site. The PODS company didn’t want to deal with us, we were too far from a metro area, and we weren’t going to be customers of their transportation services. Good luck with the closings and all of the details that go with those! Stan > On May 12, 2023, at 5:33 PM, John Sessoms <jsessoms...@nc.rr.com> wrote: > > Things are looking up.
