Packing up the house
 1st thing   ,  Get off the Net & rip into it
2nd  thing   ,  Don't stop till you have finished
                                                                Have Fun  :cheers:

Completely agree we filled up a shipping container worth of stuff & wish we had of got rid of more. We have been living out of our 76 landcruiser & camper trailer for over 4 months now & you get used to minimalist living.

We culled everything when we first started. Have 3 removalist boxes left mainly photos and files. However now being on the road 12 months we just had another major cull the other day. Its amazing what u dont use. We still sit back now and question how we had a huge house full I.e 6 bedrooms etc and we dont miss anything

Unloaded 42 boxes then either gave away or took 24 boxes worth to the tip

You know that is good advice. We stored a lot and them even ore under our house (We kept that) but now the stuff has been in storage for 5 years as we never went back to the Blue Mountains and decided we will stay in Broome, We now have a 8K bill to ship our stuff here and that is just the important stuff and what about the real beaut Plasma TV I kept, well yea, that's rubbish now as well and so on.

So be thoughtful with what you want to kept...
