Subject: RE: Summer 2014 Exercise the right to declutter!
It's a 2-1/4 car garage the popup camper is now inside of, popped up for unloading and clng. It's just about ready now to fold up for winter storage in there.... I brought in everything I wanted for the house and boxed up everyrhing else pending a through cleaning of the camper next spring. Then the boxed items will be reloaded for basic weekend camping in the future.

Once folded down, it will take 1 side of the garage and lv the other half open for unloading each trip's worth of stuff as we gradually move here fulltime (date yet unknown). I figure on being down here quarterly. Sometimes on my own and sometimes with Hardi. We do not have garage parking in PA so I'm not worried about not having it here-- the winters are so much milder. I care more about not dumping stuff into the housecfastervthan I can clean it and put it away! The trailer we have for bringing loads down is an open-sided one, and road grime on top of frack-grime is icky.

As each visit's tasks near completion I usually start to form the pack-list for the next load. I don't try to plan in advance what projects I'll do for each trip.... each time I'm here it becomes obvious what the next priority is. It's a very gentle way to downsize abd transition towards retirement!
