Well, since your current house is called "Byrne Manor", and I feel that this new house is more of a "pad", I was thinking something along the lines of "Byrne's Pad of Wonder" or "Alpha Pad."

Having been a bachelor for my first forty years, the hardest part of moving, was finding the eating establishments to adopt, Even more so for someone who works out of their home.  Now I eat where my wife tells me to eat.

Of course JB wouldn't need a dumpster or even garbage bags for the move .... after all the stuff he wants is moved out, just post Stately Byrne Manor's address on JBF and it will be picked clean in a few hours .... "Look a JB Q-tip, its only been used on one end!"

Of double course you could never ever have a signing table again

That's hilarious and frightening all in the same breath!

Having been to Stately Byrne Manor a few times, I can only say the
mind boggles at the task ahead of you, JB. Three floors, all your
stuff, the art, the art files, the books, more stuff................man oh
man, it's gonna be the 13th Labor of Hercules moving you out. I do
have a couple of suggestions:

1) Yard Sale! or

2) I will move furniture for original art.................

Best of luck to you on the purchase of your new home, sale of your old and of course, your move...I made my wife promise me that we'd never have to move again (barring a lottery win, of course).

Must be something in the air.  I've been in the same home for nearly thirteen years now and Mrs. Dan and I are considering moving in the Fall or next Spring.  I've renovated all but two rooms in this 100+ year old house and need to get those two (kitchen and formal dining room) done, replace a few more windows, and probably put new siding on before I'd consider the house sellable.  I've got my summer cut out for me, it seems.

The wife has her eye on a 10 acre lot of lakeside property about 20 miles outside of Spokane.

If all goes according to what I will laughingly call my "plan" -- and keeping in mind none of this is a done deal yet -- I expect to dedicate about a week to this move, doing a couple or three rooms at a time, getting them set up at the new house, and so avoiding or at least diminishing the "living out of cardboard boxes" phase.

JB - will this be a move that you and your friends will do or does it require the services of a moving company.  I would think you would need a moving company, but I could be wrong.

Moving company! Definitely!! I haven't moved myself since I rented a truck to carry some of the more breakable items from the brownstone in Brooklyn Heights up to Stately Byrne Manor, closing on 20 years ago.

One of the things the realator will tell you is to de-clutter and de-personalize  your home, so that the new owners can imagine the home with their own stuff.  When I sold my previous house, I rented from a mini-storage near my new home and put in most of my good stuff and left only the basics in the house.  I found I actually liked the de-cluttered look.  When I did sell the house (three weeks after being on the market) it made it much easier to pack up and move when I did have to go.  Too bad my new house was twice the size, I now have more crap than ever!!
