Signs, Signs, Everywhere theres Signs

Clogging up the scenery, messin' with my mind...
Don't do this, Can't do that, Don't go there...
Can't YOU read the signs???

a little bit of fun from my hazy past... but it does have a deeper meaning to me... oh, about 15 years ago, a friend of mine, Trysha, was telling me about her Yachtee Days. The yacht would be coming into a harbour at night, and to maneuver the channel, they would have to line up the sites (signs ;) before they could proceed... and this has got me thinking about how to proceed with the next few years, and all that has to come together before I even put shovel to earth for the first time... Right now, just starting out, even though I have been thinking of this for decades, there is only a few things that I can think of that need to be done NOW, and I am sure there will be many more.

For NOW, there is:

       1) sort my stuff down to manageable size
       2) arrange for storage over the summer / fall / winter / spring
       3) place to live over the winter
       4) place to live through the summer

and I haven't even begun to include stuff regarding THE CORDWOOD HAVEN!!!

       1) Where do I want to live, Canada / UK
       2)  Where in either of those countries
       3) The design of the house is still in flux
       4) I haven't told anyone yet what I am thinking of doing!!!!

I would say it is like a person who has come out of a forest, to a cliff ledge, over looking an inland sea, with multiple paths to the sea beach below ;) and they are wondering what they need to keep and what they can ditch, before taking the descent...
