Our house is for sale, and hopefully it will sell before summer. We're
moving from South-eastern Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta, where our
daughter lives with her family.

Thanks for the idea of having someone clear out the workshop (barn, in
our case). The thought of doing that was scaring me. We have
everything from chain saws to roto-tillers to scrap metal.

This is a huge stressful thing. We are hoping we can sell the house
with all the furniture to someone who wants to use it as a summer home
or summer weekly rental. If not, we'll have to ship all our furniture
out there.

We'll be buying a condo when we get to Edmonton, and staying in DD's
cottage while we look for somewhere. Then buying all new furniture if
we need to.

Oh, and we have to drive two cars out there, because DH likes both of
them and doesn't want to sell either one. So that means I have to
drive for 5 days by myself.

If I disappear from the newsgroup in the meantime, it's because I've
had a complete nervous breakdown. :-)
