Pattie and I continue to prepare for our new
lifestyle and are overwhelmed by the tasks that must be completed to make it
happen. We plan to put the house on the market in March 2015 when it
warms up enough to open the pool. Ahhh the pool, the two acres to mow,
the hedges to trim, how I will not miss the maintenance, but I digress.
Our plan is to establish our legal residence in Alabama where we own some
property. I will continue to work and
have received approval to relocate to the Huntsville, AL office. I have a trade show to attend in Atlanta the
first week in May, so we figure we will vacate the house leaving it staged with
the relator if it hasn’t sold by then.
Here is what we are working on 90 days out from
departing Maryland:
1. Sorting stuff into groups of:
a.
Storage
b.
Give Away
c.
Trash
d.
Take in RV
e.
Sell
2. Packing items for storage
3. Posting items for sale on WWW
3. Preparing the house for sale all the way to
staging rooms
4. Loading RV items and organizing RV compartments
5. Moving items to storage in Alabama
The Bus is winterized in the driveway and I start
it once a week to keep it lubricated and have a bucket of DampRid in it to keep
humidity down. I am negotiating with a
shop on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to install an M&G Engineering brake system
in the Jeep we will tow and that will require a day trip in The Bus to tap into
its air brake system. That may be our
next opportunity to drive it.
