We built a very large shed in the garden to fit all our worldly goods in except the boat. It cost about £800 12 years ago to build and we use some of the stuff when we return and rent a flat for the winter and all seems ok.
I spoke to a letting agent yesterday who thinks that a fixed six month let for our place fully furnished is viable, so we'll just put personal stuff we keep in the loft, the car on a mate's driveway and of we go!
Sorted!
The plan is to rent our house out and go sailing. We'll probably be home to work in the winters, when we can rent a place to live for six months.
What do people do with all their stuff?
Swmbo is a hoarder but when we're away we don't miss all our possessions. A lot can go on ebay, freebay or charity and we reckon that stuff we want to leave for years until we come back for good can store in the loft with a lock on, but what about furniture and other stuff we'll be wanting in the winters? We don't want to have to furnish a house every six months then have the same problem again. Where to leave the car, clothes, for instance?
Bit like your boat really. A Catagarage :encouragement:I split my garage in two , built a wall straight down the length so tenants have enough for a car plus a bit of
storage . The cost was about £200 and thats it , security provided by the tenats and all our stuff safe and dry ,
for very little outlay .
