The DU Lounge

We bought another house 2 blocks away, it's smaller and very organized, pretty and has a better view of the river. I never wanted to move, I like my current house, but the new one is a great property and extremely well maintained and has no large trees. Where we live now is in the forest portion of the neighborhood and there's 18 large oak trees here, one of which is dying and needs to be removed. They provide great shade and beauty, but in a storm can be dangerous.

I never wanted to move, but now that our low ball offer was accepted, we are on our way. I'm dreading this so much, moving is terribly heinous when both of us have such bad backs. The movers are doing most of the work, but after 36 years in this house, we have so much stuff and need to get rid of a lot of it. For example, after going thru the kitchen, we have 4 bins of glassware and pots/pans that we don't want or need. My sister is in no hurry to move in, wants to get a large work room/shed built first and that won't be started until Oct.

I just hope we can through this without killling/really hurting ourselves if we take our time and do things smart.
