Time to get to work
First we need to downsize.
Sort, filter, sell, pack all of our belongings.
Sell the house we built 30 years ago.
Move.
Design a barn to house our remaining stuff while we're gone and incorporate an apartment upstairs to stay in for a few months until the boat is ready.
Build the barndominium.
Move.
Again.
