I'm doing 1 thing
About to clean and throw out lots of stuff for the 45th time. 15 years (4 times a year). It somehow comes around over again. The kids have moved out but the junk accumulations of their stuff, ours, and my old business. Available for storage are shelving, upper rafters and designated areas are established also hope for a dumpster is planned. I have been giving things away to friends, charities, and garbage cans. Makes you feel good BUT still it is hard to get rid of memories you’d want for your grandchildren. Still the cold weather is a small part of procrastination. (yaugh) I have used plans and diagrams in the past which have worked and are now in need of updates, job time is a factoring as well. An added incentive is to STOP naggin wife. Yeah this is a bigger picture (pain).
Appliance, household, electrical and auto parts are included in the mix that contribute into saving dollars. During the last years I have been sorting them out which made available shelf space.
Memories and the idea of your kids wanting what is just that for you or that might suit them in their future is another StUmBlIn BLOCK. My thinking on that is to take a picture, file it, back it up on a disk, alot less space taken again.
It does help me to think of a nightmarish scenario of trying to pack all this shit up and cram it into a small condo or storage facility where I would be throwing money away much like I paying for in my GARAGE now.
