Finally down to two guitars. A Squire Telecaster (better than Fender IMO) and a Yamaha Silent Guitar (SLG100N). Now I need to prune my Ukuleles.

Last time we moved, 10 years ago, we had seating and chairs for 38 people. We are two. We got rid of a lot of them. As of today we have 19. Four have been purchased since the move for various reasons. I think they're breeding somewhere ... downsizing is complex.
@carsten_O ich finde aber auch, dass erwähnt werden sollte, dass #deezer für mich bisher nicht vergleichbar ist mit den ganz großen anbietern. die technik hakt an vielen ecken und der support besteht anfangs erstmal aus einem bot, die (melody) nur ein ticket erstellte, als ich nach ein paar mails wiederholter lösungsvorschläge fragte, ob das #echokammer ist. egal trotzdem #downsizing kann sich auch so noch gut anfühlen #review

Downsizing, and it's time to part with a few Tolkien books (of many) but good thing I looked in them!
(No, I put it in the compost bucket!)

There’s a new post on Michael Burkhardt’s Whirled Wide Web:
It’s Time To Ditch My Old Report Cards
I haven't added to this thread in a few weeks because not much is happening. Our listing expires today and in the past 60 days we have had 4 open houses which combined with scheduled showings has resulted in 10 groups actually viewing our home. Everyone loves the house but not enough to make an offer.
We had a house showing today, so Harley and I went for a 7.5 km hike on our favourite trail across the road, which connects to the Bruce Trail.
The market is very slow here in Caledon, and we've only had 4 families look at our house in just over 2 weeks, including an open house. And our agent has warned us that August will be slower. Although we're priced right in line with the market, we might lower our price in September to spark more activity.
Our real estate agent has signs all over our house and it feels like we're living in a public building. I'm breaking lots of rules.
The listing went live on Monday and the HouseSigma app shows that it's popular with a ranking of 91 out of 100 (listing clicks plus marked as favourite). We had an agent open house today, which was well attended apparently, and there are two showings scheduled for later this week. In a slow market, that's encouraging.
It has been an exhausting week. Repairing, repainting, purging and cleaning. Yesterday the staging company came and took away half of our furniture. Today they spent 4 hours putting in new stuff to make our house cooler than us. And a metric ton of pillows. All 5 bedrooms now have between 9 and 11 pillows - all decorative. And no room on a sofa or chair because of pillows. Photos were also taken today and the listing should go live on Monday.
Over the last month my wife and I have been considering downsizing, moving from a large house to a condo. It was always the plan, we need our home equity to continue to retire comfortably, but we're now considering it 5 years earlier than anticipated. It's a bit scary jumping back into the real estate market after 15 years on the sidelines. Depending on the market we'll make a move late this summer or early in 2025.
This could be a long drawn out thread...
