My wife and I are neat freaks plus neither of us collects things. Therefore, almost everything was for sale. Yep. Sold the house, furniture, stuff and more stuff. We had good and relatively new furniture. We scheduled the “Mother of all Garage Sales” and told friends and relatives that if they wanted to buy anything, they could do that the last 2 days before the garage sale. We also posted a notice at work and church. This was a smart way of handling the sale. It was organized and we probably got more money for things than we would during the heat of battle on garage sale day. Most furniture, paintings, everyday dishes and extra kitchen stuff was gone the first pre-garage sale day. The heavy yard and garden tools also went this way. The night before the garage sale the house was beginning to have an echo in it. We still had a bed to sleep in, but there was little to sit on. It was close to camping.
