Cold rain all day today and then a cold front coming in tomorrow.
Forecast is for 50+ mph winds and 2 to 3 inches of snow.

Then a break overnight until Monday when another system blows in
delivering another 2 to 3 inches of snow.

Sure glad spring has sprung.

One step at a time. :-)

Probably not Florida again though. Mrs.E has her eyes on SC.
Meanwhile, we bought some "temporary" housing until the dust settles.
Moving out of an 8K sq ft house after living there for almost 16 years
was a major undertaking, especially when your wife is a pack-rat. Still
finishing up. The buyer allowed us to store
some things in the garage attached to the barn but we got it all out
today in the rain. Selling that place was a prolonged process due to
many reasons including a limited market and the complex financing the
buyer had to put together. Glad it's over.

My neighbor just sold her house. She has been working on it for a
while. This was only ~1900 sq/ft and she got $740k (no horsey stuff or
acreage but it is riverfront with a 10,000 lb lift).

Location. House down the street 1800' and $840k. House like mine a couple
doors down, without the added 430' room and no pool, went for $1,040,000.

Congratulations! Now share with us how you got your wife to dispose of 'stuff' that
has been filling the old house.

Not something you can force. It became self-evident to her after we
filled two, 20 yard dumpsters, two, 15 yard dumpsters and a 10 yard
dumpster. 80 percent of the junk was her treasures. That's *after*
selling or giving away rooms full of furniture and having two massive
yard sales.

We moved her remaining "stuff" into a 10 x 20 storage unit. I made sure
that she pays the monthly storage fee, so hopefully most of that
will be gone in a few months after she gets settled. My daughter was a
major help in convincing her to toss stuff. My words were meaningless.

Are you living temporarily in an RV?
Where did the horsies go? To the dog food factory?

We have a 20x20 "storage area" in the basement that is so filled with
stuff that will never be used that you literally cannot get into the
room. When I mention the word "dumpster," I get a dirty look.

I reckon I'll have to save some money to pay off my daughters to convince wife she
has too much stuff. To even put this place on the market we'd have to get rid of a
hell of a lot of it.
