You're right, you have to go to your own place. You took a chance with this new experience but it wasn't a permanent solution.I hope things go smoothly for you too, GW. Our housemate is going to lose us, and he said today he dreads it cuz he enjoys us being here. We enjoy him, too. I just wish it wasn't such a hoarder place and having to weave. If it was trash stuff, if the piles toppled, no worried. Its just trash stuff. But it isn't. Its very fine antiques..delicate in many areas..worth a shitload of money. Just sitting and piled and crammed and dusty. I hold my breath every time I walk past the mazes because I am afraid of knocking something over that is worth more than anything we own combined. Of course we would not be liable, but I would feel horrible if we broke something.I agree, moving sucks! While I hope to move only one more time, that is not to be. As it looks, I will be living in the place in Anchorage a few years longer, after I move the goats from here to Willow. The partner's injury last year looks like it will put him out to Willow before I can retire. Mixed blessings, that. I will have to commute only about 10 minutes to work for the few years I still have to commute. I will also have lots of time to clean up the hoarder's nest in Anchorage before we try to sell it. I will still be moving my stuff to Willow over the next several months. Too bad the partner will cock-block my plans for a B&B at every juncture.It has its pros and cons here. Same as there. The clencher is...never having to move again. Housemate has relatives. If he dies before we do (he had a heart attack 3 years ago), relatives he never speaks to will descend upon this house like vultures and out we go. Again. So as much as I do like it here...our options are go home and never have to move again.
I'm still crossing my hooks for the best outcome for you and Mr.G, Gracie.
A two bedroom! Yay. The ocean! They'll be in your business every year but give it all up, it's a better situation than what you have been through.
Best of luck.
