Do you really want to know what you will have to do if you want to sell it all???
When I look at it now, I understand why a few people thought we were crazy, but not our friends. They knew we love to pedal paddle and play!
Here are the nitty gritty details of what we did over the first 6 months of 2018 to be a ready to go in the fall
Finished all projects on the “to do list” for the house- Including painting the entire interior of our home
Bought a new Truck and sold the old one
Bought a Tear Drop Trailer from Gnome Homes Inc in Edmonton, Alberta
Sold or gave away all items that we no longer needed or wanted- This was a HUGE endeavour after living in the same house for 26 years
Boxed up those precious family photos, special keepsakes, and some household things we could not part with.
Had our grown up kids come home to the province to say good bye to their childhood home and neighborhood
Listed our house for sale privately
Had a good friend help design our logo for PEDALPADDLEPLAY
Squeezed in one quick east coast trip to visit family while trying to sell the house ( not the best idea, but it was worth it )
Hired and trained someone to take over my sales territory
Sold house- YAY!
Moved in with our best friends for two months!
Gord retired 2 years early! YAY
I sold my half of the business to my awesome business partner of 20 years, and I retired 5 years early! YAY
Went on one last northern canoe trip adventure
Did one last SASKATCHEWAN Hiking/Camping adventure with our best friends
Packed up the camping and canoe gear, along with our road bikes and put onto pallets to ship east
Had an AWESOME going away and retirement party at our best friends with all of our other besties that could make it
Loaded up the truck with a bin of clothes each, 4 bins of food and gear, along with our two mountain bikes and hooked up to our new home on wheels called “Gnomie” our Gnome home.
Did those last good byes to relatives and friends , and hit the road on Sept 14th of 2018 heading west
