Not sure that would fall within β€˜snagging’ but am curious if you previously had a non standard door size or have gone posh with a solid framed bed

Recently my wife decided we were moving, and while we are no longer planning to move any time soon, I’d love to know how you decided what moved with you and what was no longer worth putting on the van. I’ve learnt you need the item you’ve disposed of just after it’s gone #hoarder
