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

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

@davej He rehomed many things before we moved. In his defense, many of the things he is reluctant to part with, right now, is because he doesn't know if he will have a need for them up here. A lot of mechanic stuff. Tools. What-have-you. We are in a fairly rural area now, and his line of thinking is that it is better to have it than drive 50 miles to go get it. But, do you need 3 sets of most tools? Both Standard and metric?
