Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

@sueinmn When we moved up here, things came up a truck/utility trailer at a time, about every 5-6 weeks. I was thrilled when there was not much here, although it did feel a bit like camping out. But I had my crafting things, a table that doubled as dining and crafting areas, a loveseat with side table, and enough basic pots/pans/diningware to get by. As time went by, I nixed somethings to be moved, so we have a fairly open feel to this small 1200' house. There is still a certain number of things to be considered for donation, and the plan is to give it another 6-9 months, since I was here almost entirely by myself from July 2019 to June 2020. Right now it seems I am on the purging kick, while my husband is more reluctant.

Is your husband reluctant because it's a big job or to many memories? My recommendation is just have him start small, 1 shelf or bookcase or go thru a corner in the garage. Keep reminding him if he doesn't do it someone else will that might not know the value or what something is used for. Work on it with him like a team and give him a reward for his work and see how that goes good luck dave
