Severing Ties

We are back at our house this weekend, bringing the last few things to storage. We left before all was done because I had work available, and we were itching for adventure. Sadly our home of the past four years has become a chore and a issue we have to deal with. It is no longer home, but a place we were tied to. We will probably be back to finish cleaning it up for the next person who dwells here, we don't want to be thought of as filthy people. Honestly though with our possessions gone and our little house in the big world waiting for us, I don't care if we come back or not. Ultimately I pity our house as it will be joining the ranks of houses vacant and untended. Some houses never come back from such a thing, though ours has good bones so hopefully the next family finds her in good order as we left her. 
Enough about the old house, we have been planning what to do with our new trailer. We have yet to take possession of it, but planning never hurts. We want to remodel the interior as it needs work anyway. We will be adding a roof top air conditioning unit, a new furnace, new water and waste tanks, and new lighting. I plan on doing some woodwork inside as well, Walnut where I can afford to.  There has been talk of putting in one of those floating laminate wood floors, which should be easy to install. We want to make it as vardo like as possible. For those outside the loop, a vardo is a gypsy wagon. The outside will get a paint job if we have enough cash at the end. I will post pictures once we get over to the camper again.
