Re: Did you ever love your home...but sold it to fulltime
Thanks everyone for your comments. Sounds like whatever choices you made...it has turned out "ok". I'm going to keep on marking projects off my "to do" list...and keep my eye on late 2018...to put the house on the market.418Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did you ever love your home...but sold it to fulltime
Thanks Old-Biscuit. I've been lurking on this forum and others for about 10 years. Always enjoy your posts and words of wisdom. I know what you mean about both spouses fully on-board. I haven't pressed the issue for years..just hoping DW will finally get tired of the home being a huge weight on her. UPDATE: the DW just got off a 2 hour phone call with her best friend from Chicago. I overheard my DW tell her friend that "We have a lot of projects to get done over the next year..so we can sell and travel in an RV for a few years!!! Maybe...just maybe..she's ready. .146Views0likes0CommentsDid you ever love your home...but sold it to fulltime
I've been reading this forum(and others)since 2007. I've been wanting to full time for several years...but my DW has been hot & cold about the FT idea. She loves going to RV shows...would love to travel the US and Canada for a few years...but doesn't want leave our home of 24 years. We have a large home on 5 acres, with a beautiful view...however from April to October we rarely go overnight more than 2-3 days...because we have to water the yard, orchard. etc. We had a discussion today about how difficult it's going to be to maintain this property when we're 80 years old. I love our home too...but am tired of the never ending projects. I just replaced the siding on the front of the house and I'm going to start painting next week...but climbing up a 32' ladder to reach the upper eaves is not as much fun as when I was younger(I don't bounce as well as I used too). Sorry to be long winded...but how many of you that are/were full timers...loved your home....but just got worn out with the upkeep and decided to sell and hit the road?5.9KViews0likes19Comments
