My wife and I just finished our second Preview Week (a week last July and a week this August). A special thanks to all of the TOTV contributors and residents for all of their helpful advise but I still have one question - What to do with our current belongings.

We will buying a home smaller than ours in Pittsburgh, it will be a single story instead of two (with a basement), a much smaller yard (won't need the riding tractor and all of the tools in my shed) and the weather will be warmer. Would you suggest turning all of the furniture, tools and stuff over to an auctioneer for an estate or moving sale? Hold garage sale? Move the essentials in a POD and donate the remainder to charity? Or sell or give away the left overs after we get to TV?

Based on your recommendations, I think we will lease in TV for a few months before buying. We're interested in the previously owned homes but it doesn't make much sense to look at them on these preview vacations. Through our visits and this chat room, we comfortable with the this new life style.
