We are just begining the cleaning out process. Hubby has been retired for 3 years and I just retired on 4/25/13. It has been our plan for many years to sell the house and go full time but I am finding we should have started getting rid of things much sooner. There is so much stuff! We have decided we will not get a storage unit and only keep photo's and photo albums which we will put in a bin in my daughter's attic. Getting rid of lots and lots of clothes. Then we need to paint 2 bedrooms and re-carpet both and the house will be ready to put on the market. We are hoping that whoever buys the house may want some of the furniture so it will be less for us to get rid of. I wish this was all over and done. I am not looking forward to this part at all.
