Cool places to view from afar here! I moved 18 months ago to a place about 100 ft from a major highway. I no longer notice the traffic when in the house. It has two, maybe three, drawbacks: (1) I can’t host people in my backyard. You have to yell to talk. (2) I can’t open the bedroom window at night. I love to sleep cool, and open the window in the fall. But the traffic lessens at night — so when a huge truck does go by, I notice it and am awakened, if the window is open. (3) Less bothersome: things outside get coated with dust from the road. I noticed that years ago at a boyfriend’s. My car is shielded by my house, so it’s less noticeable here, but his cars were beside the house, and very dirty.
A thought re helping your Dad to sort through what he can’t bear to get rid of: At least this way, when he eventually passes, you’ll know whether you need to sort his storage areas or can get rid of them with no further sorting!
It’s fun looking at your possible places!
