We looked a some single homes, but in the end I think this will work out well.  I don't need stuff like snow blowers, leaf blowers, mowers, etc.   I know what you mean about metal, I have put stuff out by the curb and it doesn't last ten minutes!

I will be getting help for the mass move, no way I'm going to do all that myself.  I'll probably stage all the boxes in one bay of the garage and then hire a truck and strong backs to move it.  That will happen several times before the final "move". 

We did the opposite, started out looking for a condo/townhome with maint. provided and ended up in a single home. We found an area that had ranches with full basements and that did it for us. Ranches around here are very difficult to find newly built. All 2 story and that sort of thing these days. I got rid of all the snow removal, lawn trimming, etc. stuff, but there is still a lawn mower buried out in the garage somewhere. Don't think it's been run since we moved. Not sure why I kept that now, other than it was only a year or so old?

We also did similar to your plan, filling up a bay of the garage and then moving it. We ran out of room for more boxes a couple of times so I had to make a few trips with the lighter boxes to make room for more. We had about a month to move to the new house, got it quite a bit earlier than we had to be out of the old house. Good thing too, or we wouldn't have made it! That plan should work out quite well for you, a very good way to move, IMO!! Having some extra time also is a great help when moving. The more the better too, it goes by very quickly!
