That is a big one. I am really happy for you. I always find housing and real estate related stuff very stressful. WTG!!!

[avoncallingu]

Thanks everyone! Today I sorted through gardening stuff that we won't need, posted some of it on Kijiji, bought a new bed, performed a wedding, cleaned out a bathroom drawer and now have pooped out on the couch! Things are moving forward!

We always move ourselves if moving local. Saves huge money and between our kia and truck it doesnt take too long. We hardly ever get any help because no one wants to help. If they do we give them gift certificates. We always buy new house and have a 2 week overlap. (most banks will give you a 1-4 week grace period before first mortgage payment. I never use boxes. Our 2nd move I went to walmart when they had an amzing sale on bins and got 40 for 120$ +tax. now thats all we use. all clothes in garbage bags and i have about 50 % off my stuff packed and in storage unit before even listing to declutter and make house roomy feeling. Then we move the storage unit after we are settled and end up getting rid of things that we found we really dont need or like.
I dont pack books or magazines (everything is online or at library). huge pile is always going to sally anne bbefore and after move. clothing is used to pack breakables. I never show our house with anything personal out. Example. Family pictures. Ever. I have 3 dogs and when showing house the dogs their blankets dishes you name come with me in vehicle. no one wants to see that stuff. I even donate ahead of time lots of pantry stuff to make it look roomier and never cook in house while its for sale. bbq or subway. zero smells. I always wear sticky type gloves that give me better grip. my man thinks im a man when moving and forgets im 6 inches shorter and have less muscle. so grip is important. trim your nails! yikes that can be an epic fail. I always wear sandals. easy off and on when going in and out of house. we have old area rugs of diff sizes that we use to go around and in between things. oh the list goes on and on and im all over the place. sorry.

i use use bins too! So much better than cardboard.

Oh, peachy1!
I totally understand! This next house will be my 50th home! I always say I'm just 1 step ahead of the law! LOL!

did I read that right?? Your 50th home, or maybe the 5th? I can't imagine that number being right. lol

I am trying not to move anymore. 50 Yikes. By the time I was 12 I was in my 14th home. It was a disaster for me. Then my parents got divorced and the moving stopped. Hurray for that. Not the divorce. Now as an adult with children of my own I try to stay as stable as possible. Hoping to get through their whole life til 18 in the same home. Its tricky as the starter home we bought we are still in and we have outgrown it some. Just can't seem to make the move. I don't love the packing and unpacking. However the excitement of a new home to decorate would be awesome Congrats!!

Congrats, OP. You have posted that 2014 had some ups and downs at the beginning for you and your DH. This is awesome news.

Hi peachy. You must have some great tips and tricks to moving. Some people hate it. How do you master the move? Thx.

You get someone else to do it.

How do I know? In the past 20 years The longest I've lived in one home includes 4 years and now this one, 2 years, 2 months.
