That would be awful.
Our son bought his new house that hadn't been lived in for over 4 months. He looked at it virtually online, talked to an agent, had it sprayed professionally, and then rented a sanitized truck and moved a few things in from his place in NYC himself. He rented all brand new furniture and bought a few pieces. He and his wife thought everything out beforehand.

I know that is a good question as for me here I would have to hire movers and they would have to be masked

@Hannihar Yes I would never have anyone to help I know what you mean. Most people have roots and family to chip in and help, not us either. My son is disabled so could not help.

I am so sorry about your son. That must be so so hard. My family, except my grandfather were never there for me.

Thank you that you liked my question. I was very curious. I have seen people move out of here and we were not friendly so did not ask how they did it. They were probably born here so had help. I am not sure here the movers would wear masks.

I have only moved once and my family moved us. We have been in the same house for 47 years. The cottage we moved one piece at a time to furnish it and the Florida home we bought fully furnished. When we had the fire 25 years ago we bought all new furniture

@Hannihar I love our house and I don't plan to move anytime soon.

I am glad you love your house and do not want to even look for another place. I am glad after all that time you love where you live.

47 years is a long time to be in one place. Are you happy where you are or would you like a change?

I’m sure some people have to move even during the pandemic. I’m so glad that I don’t have to worry with this.

Yes, two families moved out of here. We were not friendly so do not know how they found a place. I am not like them and do not have a car and do not want to go near people to check places out in person.

I hate moving so have to really think hard, but, also cannot live like this with a bully wanting to make my life miserable because he knows he can and does not care and will not move.

@Hannihar We moved back in 2015. My two sons moved everything here in a u-haul for us and put the stuff in a storage unit using our address as the code to get in,
We figured out everything out ahead of time. We had the money to buy a new house with the sale of our old house. We left behind all of our furniture except our queen size bed.
We even had the address of homes we wanted to buy. We had cash for the new home so we got in fast when we found a smaller home to buy.

Moving to a new home is a big issue because you have to consider everything from the carriers of the cargo to the cleaning of the new home. I don't know how to go about it.

I understand what you are saying. After reading what you wrote it made me think you have to clean the old one and the new one as well.

@Hannihar we moved from a rented house so you can imagine the things that we had to carry and the dirt that we left in the rented house. We had it cleaned by a hired hand (neighbor).

I was thinking about the cleaning part. I had someone cleaned where I used to live and someone to paint the apartment and that mean having to be not far from them to pay them. That was long before the virus, but now I really do not like to be near people.

It maybe toughs to go for new place in this situation as people will look with different types. If they do things properly then I don't think anyone has problem.

For me it would be tough to go view a place in person, but, I believe some would do it. I find just viewing online you really do not see the place clearly.

They moved already and we were not friendly. I do not miss them, but, wondered how it was done. I have other things to take care of, but, since we have so much trouble with the bully above us I thought about it, but, so expensive. I have to get other things straightened out now.
