Moving

We put our home up for sale this week. We have been here 16 years, longest I've ever lived anywhere so far.

My folks managed to stay in the same home, a few Towns west of here my entire time through Grade School and High School, and that was only 14yr.

We have a 2 story 3 car garage and for the last few years we have not been able to park any cars in it because of STUFF. In fact, there is barly a path big enough to walk through.

Yesterday I went out and started the "3 PILES" keeping, selling, and throwing out.

Boy is my back sore:rolleyes:

Amazing how quickly one can change. I used to save everything and now if I can't fit it in the bus and haul it down the road, I don't want it.

House included:eek:

Joe,

Have a yard sale at POG 3.

Why are you moving? Because the garage is full?

Lew

Lew I'm sure the folks have enough STUFF of there own.:eek:

We're movin South buddy, Tennessee bound.

The KEEP pile concists of antique furnature and tools.

The FOR SALE pile is mostly components for plastic campers I,ve been stripping out of abandon motor homes from a outdoor storage yard a friend owns.

Fridges, A/Cs, holding tanks, furnaces, hot water heaters, pumps, onan gens, everything for THE PLASTIC GUYS. Don't think I'd have much sales at POG III:D

I have a fellow on the hook who is converting a 60something GMC 410? bus and looks like he's taking the whole pile!

Where in TN? Near Knoxville?

Probably closer to Nashville. Somewhere south or east of town an hour or so, just started lookin.

Joe, Barb and I envy you. We have been trying to do the same for two years and can't quite get there! :cool: :eek: :D JIM

I heard Lew's story and he sure lucked out. It's not that easy for everyone.

Jon, Please tell us your story. Ill bet you had quite a time, unless you just pulled the plug and pulled out. JIM:)

The short version is we intended to relocate from the 240" of snow annually that we got, so we bought some Knoxville acreage in anticipation of that.

When I attempted to purchase a 250,000 foot factory with all equipment and a badly needed five stage finishing system plus an order book with a very large backlog from a company that had ceased operations due to lack of cash the politicians stepped in and siezed the building. They knew of my negotiations and had promised to not interfere but reneged on the promise.

I went completely nuts.

I would have moved my entire operations out of that ghost town, but instead my daughter ended up buying it. I was out of Jamestown, moving into our new home in nine months. Unemployment was unplanned, but has worked out OK.

No matter how hard and diligent you plan, life sometimes intercedes.

Hey Joe,

You realize it still snows in Nashville, right?:D Of course the amount of snow is nothing compared to the snow you receive in Chicago! Nashville is about 6 hours from our farm in upstate SC. A little warmer with no snow on this side of the mountains;) Welcome to the south and please remember to start using the word "hey" now--"hi" will no longer be acceptable:eek:
