One of those "thats" was how I was going to get certain pieces of furniture out in order to show the house. Then I thought about renting a storage unit and hiring the muscle to do that initial step. So I found this local company that offers wall-to-wall moving services -- the moving and the cleaning afterward. They provide two guys and a truck with dollies, blankets, etc. for about $58 an hour, 3 hour minimum. The two-person cleaning crews are $38 an hour. Very reasonable. I scheduled the movers for Monday morning and then rented a storage unit.
For the last several days I've been packing, tossing and taking gobs of stuff to Goodwill in my little ATV trailer. The movers will take all but the few pieces I will use to stage the house.
The more boxes I have packed to move by Monday morning, the better. But I don't have to get it all done by the time they get here (and I likely won't). They will take what is ready, and I can continue to pack, donate and haul stuff to the dump until I'm done. After that, the cleaners will do their thing, I'll put out a few things to make the place look homey and we're done.
I have a volunteer gig almost finalized at a state park about 40 miles away. So once I sign up with the agent and hand her the key, I'll get in the MH and leave -- while still close enough to check in on the house.
My future plans? I don't know and don't care that I don't know.
