Project Teardown

I guess it was about twenty or so years ago when I bought a storage shed. It seems we never have enough storage space in the house. I was still working at the time, and it seems I remember spending at least four weekends putting it together.

It would not have taken so long, but I found the instructions confusing. Several times, I had to undo things before doing them right. Some aspects I found irritating.

Nonetheless, I did finish the little 10-by-12 steel building, and I must say it did turn out well. However, I only had the use of it for a little over a year and a half.

During an ice storm, I heard a horrible sound. When I went to check the cause, I saw two large branches from a pine tree had fallen. They did not flatten the building, but they did render it unusable.

Ever since, the disassembly of the building has been on the to-do list. The problem, of course, is that other things keep coming up with other higher-priority projects.

Besides, I need somewhere to move the contents. I have thought about renting a storage unit, but I have no idea about the cost.

Then again, if I actually decided to make the right decision, I would sell the house and anything else I can. Then I would buy a 35-foot motor home and concentrate on getting away from Memphis, going a long way away.

It has been some time since I have accessed my storage shed and attic. While I may need to repurchase a few items, I have found myself in a position where my possessions have become a burden rather than an asset. A more streamlined approach to managing my belongings may be beneficial.

Furthermore, I would not have to address the task of dismantling the shed. I am reaching an age where such physical labor is becoming increasingly challenging.

Does anyone know of a good motor home for sale?
