As you know, we have been getting ready to downsize to a smaller home. With this in mind, we have started the process of cleaning out over 48 years of living in this house. This is a painful process since there is quite an collection of various things. We have a shop that was my husband's man cave and that is a nightmare in itself, but the house has just as much. We started with the attic on Saturday. We have not been up there in several years and could not even remember what was even up there. We found Christmas wrapping paper that had been up there for ever and was so dried out, it fell apart just handling it. We found a old train set that I thought I had gotten rid up years ago. Stuff that should never have put up there in the first place was put up there out of sight and out of mind. We managed to get one section clear out before we called it quits. Our trash can is overflowing and we have just scratch the surface. I keep asking myself, why didn't I do this sooner. The same reason we all do, Just Didn't. A word of advise, don't let this happen in the first place. You need to do this at least once a year even if you don't ever plan to move. That day will come when someone will have to do it whether it is you or your kids.
We have put our shop on hold for a period since we really don't have time to work on it and because we don't any more collection to move, but if you want something, let us know and we will see if we can make it happen.
Happy Spring Cleaning!
