    We’ve moved at least 18 times in our 60 years of marriage. I learned to pack everything except toilet paper and coffee maker . The week before our move we used all paper plates plastic forks spoons etc. I took the coffee pot with me in the car the last item unplugged and the first to plug in.
    I realize your move is not quite as easy or as simple. You will have an amazing sense of accomplishment and satisfaction once you’re done.

      Funny how that works. The more you move, the less there is of it. Priorities sharpen. Decisions are clearly made. You know exactly what to take, how to sort, and what will fit where. I am a teacher in a job that is always changing. I have moved next door half a dozen times. I can do it in a few wagons and under an hour in a pinch. Blessings to you on gaining that experience. I know you are every bit as happy as those who never moved but a box to an attic or below.

    Though many of us will miss the natural beauty of the island, the two of you probably would have had to move anyways. From your very first episodes, my main concern for you was the drainage, or lack thereof, either in serious health issues or the undermining of the structural integrity of the cottage itself over time. You both have overcome many challenges, but this issue would have been a constant obstacle needing attention. Out of all of this, you both have grown so much individually and as a couple, these are treasures that no one can take away from you...God bless!

    Thank you for updating us. I remember when you first arrived on the island, moving your stuff down to the cottage either by wheelbarrow or carrying it. You are doing great despite the awful conditions and all the stress. I am sure you will do wonders with the chair Scott. Hopefully you will get off the island sooner than you think. Take care ❤

  • @myownlittlehouse471

    Hang in there, you two! I'm so glad you have each other. What a grueling process this move is! And your right, Scott, about the impact of the trauma on both of you -- the shaky hands, the knot in the stomach, the anxiety. You will recover, but you have to be away from that place that caused the trauma itself. I hope it is soon.

      In Scotland we have what we call ‘sideboards’ in dining areas. They have the same function as the American ‘hutch’ but they will be lower so that the top can be used as a serving area or to display crockery/silverware/vases…
      We also have something we call a ‘dresser’ which is used for a similar purpose as a ‘hutch’. Usually with cupboards below, a couple of drawers above them and 2 or 3 shelves stacked on top for displaying your best dishes.

    I never got the complete story of why y’all have to leave the island but I think you’re going to have a bright future. I’m watching you move on my television right now and wish I was there to help you move. Unfortunately, I’ve live in Florida. You 2 keep your heads up and have a wonderful new adventure.

    Looks like the moral of this story is to be really aware of what you are actually and potentially signing up for in a contract, and whether effective recourse is available for breaches by the other side.

    You're good people and God is watching over you. I know you both will be happy to leave the island I know you put in a lot of work there also

    I feel so bad for you as I sit and watch this video. When you said it's taken years off your lives, my heart sunk. Is there no one close by who can help you load and unload the trailor into the van? I so wish I was close by. 😪
