Nonie
I could say
"take it to the lake"...but I know there is no room,

"Give it to the Kids" ...like be honest...where are they going to put it with all they have going on,

"donate to charity" ...they only take so much and I need to be careful about inflating the 1040 charity line for 2008 that would only cause an audit and other problems,

"Ebay"... as much work just getting ready..and I have alot to sell, and an "auction"...I probably would buy it back from myself.

At least your have one hurdle (and the biggest) resolved: "hubby" has given you an incentive that is hard to beat..especialy when you know it has to be done sooner or later. Hard to believe he is willing to give up the barn!

When you get back to NY just take a deep breath and start slow..room to room. IM sure you will have ot revisit some rooms 2-3 times (or more) before its all said and done.
