Strypey<p>The 2017 sci-fi comedy Downsizing is a brilliant satire of people taking household-level responsibility for the environmental damage done collectively by corporate capitalism, for the financial and political benefit of the 1%.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>comedy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Downsizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Downsizing</span></a></p>

CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>We're back from our successful house search in Innisfil, we hope. We put an offer in on a solid little Bungalow in Innisfil that needs some work but nothing major. My wife fell in love with the kitchen, which was renovated 18 years ago, but it was professionally done and still looks impressive. The lot is less than 1/6 the size of our current property, and it's a 2 minute walk to a nearby beach.<br>If the house inspection goes well on Friday, the deal is firm.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Downsizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Downsizing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BeachLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeachLife</span></a></p>
Cara Bruar<p>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.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/downsizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>downsizing</span></a></p>
CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>We're starting our process of what we keep versus what we move to a new house. We're <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Downsizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Downsizing</span></a>, which means we have extra couches, beds, dressers, etc. Once we actually put an offer on a new house, ideally, in the next 2 weeks, we'll have a better idea of what has to go. Currently, we are cleaning out cupboards and building inventory for a garage sale in May, a month before our closing. We've got a few puzzles to sell.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Declutter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Declutter</span></a></p>
CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>Yesterday we completed the deal for our house - it closes on Friday, June 20th. Overall, we're happy, and now we start looking for our new smaller home in the Barrie area. In a few days, when I've had a mental break, I'll summarize what we did right and wrong in case someone else can learn from our selling process.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Downsizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Downsizing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Moving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moving</span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/ZbZSe6N_BXs?si=dJdHMzGJf1GJFn5w" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/ZbZSe6N_BXs?si=dJdHMz</span><span class="invisible">GJf1GJFn5w</span></a></p>
CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>Big day today. The potential buyers are taking over the house for 5 hours for scheduled inspections - house, septic system, and well/water testing. Their mortgage and insurance companies are also doing an appraisal on the property. If everything goes well, and conditions related to inspections and appraisals are satisfied, then the deal will be firm. <br>My wife and I are spending the day doing drive-bys of potential home purchases in Barrie/Innisfil. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Downsizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Downsizing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/RealEstate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RealEstate</span></a></p>

CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>The death-defying light bulb replacement has paid dividends. After a house showing late yesterday afternoon, we received an offer last night. Our agent will be here in a few minutes to discuss, but our initial response is to counter on the price and get something closer to our list price. Otherwise, the offer is clean with nothing wonky.

Continued thread

We have started preparations to relist our way-too-big-for-us house. Staging expert arrives tomorrow to try and make our lifestyle look cooler than we are. Real estate agent will meet with us next Tuesday to sign a new listing agreement, and a sign will be up early March.
Back to daily vacuuming and cleaning, and being ready to vacate our house on a few hours' notice.
Silver lining: a metre of snow on the property means no extra yard work for a least a month.
