Moving Progress

With Deb's move, I am reliving all I went through last fall, when I was planning my move. There is a lot involved, I was overwhelmed at times, and my house was much smaller.
I am impressed that you are going for the challenge @debodun . Once it is finished, you will have quite the sense of satisfaction. I am happy for you, and wish you luck.
One thing, I know it can me difficult to decide what possessions to let go of....I had that challenge too, Especially since I was moving from a house to an apartment, had to let go of a lot. But you can do it. I know it

One more thing, last year when I moved I was given a lot of encouragement and support from people here, while I rattled on and on about it. I think we all owe Deb the same support.

"I think we all owe Deb the same support."

Yes and support doesn't come from negative comments regarding the things she wishes to keep.

She has taken a big step out of her comfort zone, that takes guts. I'm so happy for her as we all should be.

Right now I'm puzzling over how to position my bed, dresser and TV in the new house. I alwats watch TV in bed. The rooms are half the size and have baseboard heating panels along the floor on two sides of the room. Luck I have a twin bed.

Something I did before I moved to my house, and later here in my apartment. I basically stood in the room and figured it out in my head. even drawing a rough outline of the room, not to scale of course, showing windows and doors. Just to get a feeling.
Sounds petty, but when you are planning placement of things, see where electrical outlets are. You do not want to block one with your bed, a dresser or big furniture.
Thing is, placement is not set in stone. You can always move things around.
 

Now that I'm pretty much cleaned out the upstairs, I have to think about the attic, downstairs and garage. It's much too hot in the attic to do much up there when the weather is so warm. The downstairs will be mostly my mom's glassware and the things in the kitchen. After that I'll have to get a mover to do the large furniture (bookcases, dressers, bed, hutches, etc.)

That's a huge amount of moving for only one person. 😲
Do you use all of those things on a daily or even a weekly basis?

I just realized something quite strange. I think we'd all be bored silly if we didn't have @debodun to follow in regards to her old residence and now... her NEW home.

We all have a way of achieving 'change' and Deb has her own. It finally clicked; she's not ever going to change her ways.

Hope the rest of the move goes smoothly, Deb.

Actually I really enjoy reading Debs post, but I wish she would just limit it to one thread, not several. Sometimes it takes me days to notice she has opened a new thread and I miss out.

I was teasing Deb.

I ”got it” @PamfromTx and thought it was very funny, very.

For those that didn’t, the whole point was Deb has a twin bed (most adults have at least a full). Because Deb has a twin bed, she can fit more stuff in the smaller room. Since a cot is smaller than a twin bed, she could fit even more stuff into the smaller room if she switched to a cot.

It is all hysterically funny, and a gentle friendly tease.

What I want to know @debodun is the twin bed from your childhood? Cause that would just be the cream in the coffee. 😃
 
Deb, I saw your photo of your kitchen. Toss out 90 % as you do not need it, and give away or toss that glassware, or are you holding it for one of your yard sales?
