That's the plan. We hope to close in early October and then start moving the essentials (including the dogs!) so that we can properly stage the farm to sell. It's just too messy to try and show a farmhouse with three big dogs and a cat tracking in dirt and other stuff all the time. Plus, we've got a LOT of junk that we need to sort through and that'll take time (and a yard sale!)

The hardest part will be going from a room-sized closet (no joke!) to a single bar closet. Ouch!

This house is more than a 1000 sf smaller than the 'starter' home we bought when we got married. It's going to take a lot of downsizing!
