who wants to help me pack?!

'cause frankly I'm ready to just give it all away and call it good. I don't want to even think of moving the empty 55 gal. Sigh....I have a dumpster being delivered Monday and a big snow storm hitting Sunday. I'll need two shifts, one to shovel while the other packs and then you can switch. Any alcohol you can find you can drink!

You get me there and I'll help. I have LOTS of practice moving, with a good crew we can have the house empty in a day.

Well I sorta figured we'd move the important stuff outside first...clothes, dog food, dog bowls, dogs, cats, kids, but you're the boss!

We asked the same question last month when we moved.

We were thinking about buying a bigger house last summer but decided there was no way we could move all of our crap. We bought a boat instead

Not a big house, but no crew. We actually got most of it moved in a weekend, and took our time with the rest.

Oh I know I have it, I've been trying to avoid deciding what to do with it for the past 6 years! The dumpster is actually my best tool. I'm ruthless if I have a big box to dump everything in!

Yes to both Nina. We are madly working to finish the upstairs of the new place but we're moving in the end of the month. Then we'll work on finishing touches while we are living there. Sadly, I'll have to live with my avacado green kitchen for at least a year more.....gah!

The last time I moved (single guy) I'd been living in the same apartment for 5years. About 6 weeks before I moved I rented a 10x12x4 ft dumpster for 2 weeks. I filled that dumpster to overflowing, but then only needed a small truck to move when the keeper stuff was packed.

If we ever have to move off this ranch its going to be a BIG shindig. We've been living here for 21 years and in our house alone we have several horse trailer loads worth of stuff. Then we also have barns, other houses, a shop, and sheds full of stuff too.

Edit - And this is AFTER for the past 4 years cleaning stuff up and probably making 100+ trailer loads worth of stuff to the city dump.
