[AT] Selling the Farm and moving tractors & Tools

[yestergears at intrstar.net]

Thanks  to everyone for their input.   I have a very good friend who is a 
mechanic with a rollback who  is going to help with the move for free. He 
has just bought a new ( to him) rollback and is going to sell his old one, 
so we will have two to move with.  Fortunately, I only have to move the 
tractors to one end of a field where my house is and I have 60 days to move 
them and 6 months to build a new shop.   I ended up Making her move and 
kept the house and lot portion of the farm and selling the rest.I am very 
grateful that I was able to get sole custody of my son without too much of 
a fight.  He IS the most important thing.  So for the first time in 78 
years someone else will own the farm  and I am on the way to closing 
several chapters in a horror story.
Thanks
Travis
