We downsized from a 4500 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms and 5 baths to one with 2000 sq ft. The grandkids have grown up so we don’t need all that room now. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and an oversized 2 car garage. It has solar panels and a spacious kitchen and living areas. Nice amenities and low HOA dues plus 90 acres of open space. It is very close to an awesome bike path as well. Very easy to maintain and we have a landscaping company maintain the outside. 15 minutes from the beach and close to a shopping area for all of our needs. My garage is my man cave and it is where I do my vehicle detailing. It has a nice collection of auto signs, heat and a/c, bright Led lighting, 3 bikes and shelving for all of my detailing supplies and other garage stuff. We love it.
We've been fortunate. We picked the right size house and location when I got transferred.
The move here wasn't difficult as it placed the burden on the movers which my company was paying for. Heck I had an MGA parts car. They were not required to take it as a complete car, so I took it apart. I took the frame to a junkyard. Everything that was left - engine, trans, seats, wheels, all the fenders, etc. were then considered part of our household stuff. The movers brought it all and stored anything light enough (fenders, dash, etc.) in the attic over our house garage.
Since I have the equivalent of a 5 car garage now I wouldn't want to think about moving. Even though I've given away almost all my spare big MG stuff like fenders I still have two complete engines, engine stand, etc. beside all the normal tool stuff.
Came across these photos as proof I didn't always have a fancy heated space for my toys. This is the screened in porch at the back of the house. I removed the side walls and parked my two MGA's under it. Then I reassembled it and cut out blue board to put into each upper and lower section so the entire porch was protected from winter. One of the blue board inserts is visible in the second photo.
