Thanks, keymastr. I’ll add in the extra weight into the equation. I’d rather overestimate than underestimate. I know we aren’t going to know exactly what we are going to be taking until we start using the TT but right now we’re packing up stuff in Rubbermaid containers so we can weigh them to get an idea. At least stay on top of things to the best of our ability right now.
ArticFox, thanks for that info. I’ll let DH know.
Lizzie, When we finally pull out of here, we’re going to be spending approx. a week at each CG we stop at. DH said he doesn’t want to waste the last day at the CG at the laundry mat. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it. I figure our last full day there would be doing laundry and making “leftover” soup for supper that night.
Lou, you aren’t nosy. I was born and raised in the south. Your questions would have to be more hard core than that before I would consider them nosy. I guess you can call it temporarily full time. DH & I haven’t had a vacation since May ’08. We moved my mom in with us Jan ’06 after her double mastectomy. When we came home in May ’08 we realized she was no longer able to stay by herself. She passed away in June ’13 but we still couldn’t take a vacation even though DH had 5 weeks. When mom passed away we had contractors in here due to a mold problem we had despite the fact they told us it would only take about 4 weeks. (The insurance adjustor and contractor were here on May 6th.) Around the middle of July, DH & I looked around and realized we could finish what the contractors haven’t done so we fired them. It took us a few weeks but we got it done along with painting rooms we didn’t have on the list to do. Then in August I found out I needed cataract surgery. Had my left eye done in Sept and the right one done in Oct. THEN we found out after Thanksgiving the company my DH worked for for 33 yrs was selling the plant to another company. So, in Jan of this year DH became a new employee in the same building. DH has tried to give the new company a chance but the longer he works there, the more unhappy he is. He’s from Washington state and since my mom is no longer with us there’s really no reason for us to stay. After we finish with getting the house in move-in condition and selling what we can, we’re going to pack up and take our time getting to WA….maybe 3-4 months??
Once we have our day clothes on we usually don’t change again until we go to bed at night unless DH sweats a lot. He can change clothes 2-3 times a day sometimes. And we usually wear our shorts/pants for 2-3 days in a row.
