Sometimes change is for the best...I’m glad that your unexpected moving experience has some great benefits. Can’t wait to see photos of your new space.

So glad to hear it all worked out well. I always say I will never move again. We really need to downsize, but we like our first floor plan. We have a 6 BR house now for just the 2 of us. Most of the houses that are what we would want cost too much. We would like to retire in about 5 years and this one is paid for.
I keep telling my DH I want to knock down the wall and combine 2 BR to enlarge my sewing room. He says we can't afford to do that as I would have to buy more stuff to fill it. My sewing room is pretty large now 14 x 15. I also have my longarm that I need to learn how to use in another bedroom.

Congratulations on your new studio. Seems like both you and your hubby made lemonade when you were given lemons. Good job!

As we age (hubs and I) I am giving away lots oft stuff. I am passing along kitchen tools, pans, pots, dishes, etc. I think my grands can use lots of my stuff now. A granddaughter and her boat captain lost EVERYTHING during Hurricane Irma. I have given her much of my extra stuff to help them get back into their business.

Everything happens for a reason and your story seems to have a happy ending. So glad for you.

We were in a similar situation and had to move in a very short time. We couldn't find another rental that "I" was willing to pay the price for, so we searched for a house to buy. We found a temporary place that we thought would do for a while and signed the contract. That was 24 years ago and we are still in our temporary home and we love it. We plan on being here until we move 6' under.

Sometimes the worst things turn out well. The process of paring down is not something anyone looks forward to, but your story proves how valuable and freeing it can be. Thanks for sharing your story. Enjoy your new home with covered parking and room for your quilting.
