Bobert, I've been reading along but not commenting much. It's an adventure, when you move yourself. I have done it many times, the biggest one was when I moved to this house. I moved everything out of the apartment (where I was using an ample laundry room as a storage locker) plus bringing back a large U-Haul full of estate stuff from an out-of-state location (I was going to move at one time, so I stored this near where I hoped to move). And two big crates from one of those U-pack the crate places. All of that had to be loaded, unloaded, stacked, organized, etc. Years later I'm still sorting some of it.

My little yard is nowhere near the complexity of where you moved from or to, but I have the same kind of beautification and multiple-use plans that will either come about very slowly, paycheck to paycheck, or faster if I win the state lottery. I enjoy reading about your adventures. Keep it up!
