Plenty Ian, there's a few sheds big enough, might even build another one

Hi,
Nice little town. Has a neat little hydro power plant on the Jones River.
Close to lots of interesting places.
Cheers

Could you fit it all into a 12 meter high container ? Buy your own container, put the bikes in first, make a quick frame around them for protection and some yellowtongue flooring on its roof..... then load all your house stuff on top and around them. Then when you have it moved to Tassie, you now own a handy container for storage and can take as long as you like to "shift" stuff from the container into the house.

I have a 12meter container in my backyard. All that **** that boss women won't let me throw out (that you know will NEVER be used or needed again) goes out to the container..... great for storing car parts you don't want mice in too.

If your anything like me, you will need two containers. one for shed stuff, one for house stuff.

Where we are I don't have a big shed, just a standard size garage and we are tossing and donating a great portion of our stuff to keep what is going down, we'll just buy what we don't take when we get there, it's a good time to cut down on all the crap we've accumulated over the last 16yrs.

We even sold two bikes and a car, we've sorted the second trailer out by storing it until we can come back and get it.

I hear ya. 24 years together, the amount of stuff we accumulated.... No use for most of it now I'm by myself, but gee some of it will be hard to let go of. Some of it, not so much. But go it must.

Plenty of room to roll out a few swags .
