Popular Post smokin george Posted September 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2022 We listed the house end of May and did alot of decluttering and packing and headed to Nova Scotia for the summer. Four weeks ago we got an offer and headed home to finish packing what was left. This Sunday the moving truck is loading everything and as soon as they're done we're doing the let's get the fuck out of Ontario. We have a townhouse rented till our new house gets built that's starting in the spring. In the meantime we'll still use the motorhome ,pontoon and dock which is only 8 minutes to the rental. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Congrats on the sale. I let go of my place over a year ago. Made a killing on it. My daughter sold her place for a 1/2 million more than was paid just a few years ago. If you’re going to sell, now is the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 The moving truck showed up today instead of tomorrow which is ok. I rented a U-haul truck knowing there was no way to get a 53 ft trailer up the driveway. They loaded the truck up and are transferring it on the trailer. The house is almost empty and some more in the garage and they'll be done. There's only 2 guys and they've done alot in 4.5 hours. Most of that time was wrapping all the furniture etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pontoon is out of the water and we"ll take the umbrellas and chairs off the dock. We'll put the slideouts in on the motorhome and hopefully that'll do. We're gonna spend the night at our rental and hope it goes past our area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been retired about 3 years and have no family left in Ont that matter and the grandkids are a short walk from our property. We decided to go for it after alot of thought and planning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
