The Deed is Done
I did it. I moved all my stuff to the new house. Well, not all my stuff. I did have the guys from 1800GotJunk to come and get, well, my junk… twice. There was a lot of junk. You see dear reader, my loft was over three thousand square feet. I had storage space beyond my wildest needs. Beyond I say because it let me keep stuff I never needed.
To be honest, not everything was moved or thrown out. I donated much to the Salvation Army and still have some items for a school and some books for a library. But yes, I did keep a lot. Amazing how many boxes I have here around me now. When you go from a space as large as I mentioned earlier to about twelve-hundred square feet, you will have a lot of boxes.
My future plans are to finish doing some painting and dealing with getting some new furniture. After that I will unpack everything and in the process decide what is needed. My goal is to sell the stuff I don’t need with any value or give it to charity. The rest I will toss.
You may find this entry rather dry and dull. I do too. But, this is the first night where I haven’t been moving anything in the last two weeks. I just installed several blinds so I can walk around in my skivvies without my neighbors getting a show. Now I’m tired. So please for give me.
I now release you to find a more interesting website.
Using freecycle.org is a great way to declutter too. I got rid of stuff I thought was junk. One couple came and carted three bags of carpet padding remnents when they were repairing water damage in the basement. College kid picked up the old vaccuum etc.

True, but that takes time and planning. Neither of which I had readily on hand at the time. Don’t worry, I still have plenty of stuff I have to sort out and then get rid of.
