We are officially Full-time RVers

 

Storage with items remaining after downsizing

In spring 2022 we began prepping the condo for sale.  Residuals from my business were disposed of. 

In June and July I emptied the home office.  I scanned old documents and photos and tossed the originals.  A professional service shredded additional documents and hard drives. 

There were a number of minor repairs to do and some cosmetics.  When I emptied out the home office, I took down bookcases, built-in cabinetry and shelving.  I then patched, primed and painted.   I restored that room to a bedroom. All of these tasks were completed in July, August and September, while we pared our belongings, separated things for storage and our two lily-pads. 

We gave a lot away to Amvets and Goodwill.  Some items were put into storage, others were junked. The condo was ready for sale in early October and was placed on the market on October 6.  We immediately got several offers from investors, but we noted issues with the contracts.   

A short time later an individual buyer made an offer and we accepted. 

The closing was scheduled for late November, early December.  The condo closing came and went and it has now been officially sold.

We said Good-Bye to Illinois a couple of weeks ago and the attorney represented us at the closing. 

We now are officially full-timers.
