    How do I down size my stash? HELP

    I hope to be moving in the new year down sizing from a 3 bed to a 1 realistically could do with a four +. We have a property in South Africa and hoping to spend a few more months over there.I scrap over there too with friends.What do I take What do I leave ? Any ideas how I can have my cake and eat it anyone else out there in the same situation?/.Normaly when I go over just take a little to do but it still involves a craft case full .Well DH takes golf clubs.Or is the only solution to double up on tools? Not any room in this new house but Scrap stash more important than clothes.

    LOL ! Stash is definitely more important !!!!!! As you have already said, I would double up on tools, or the "essentials" anyway. That way you wouldn't have to worry about taking your tools back and forth - and best of all, you wouldn't have the worry of leaving something behind !!!!!!!

    Alternatively, on the subject of down-sizing your stash, you could always send some of it to me !!!!!! LOL

    Double up on tools then all you have to worry about is projects when you travel back & forth etc.

    Where in SA is your house. I'm sure you enjoy the time over there. As a South African that travels over at least once a year, I agree with the advice to have your own tools. I remember the year I brought some of my stuff over - what a heavy suitcase!
