It’s time to go, stuff in the barn and garage 230/365



     The barn and garage are clear of stuff. What remains in the barn a friend’s carpentry machines, lumber, and van seats, and a few boxes of china and books, golf clubs, and a couple of pieces of furniture.
 



   









  





We have a little purging to do in the cellar before the dumpster is hauled away next week.

It’s time to go, bedding and clothing, 228/365





     The attic is purged, except for a couple of Christmas boxes. For the most part, things are in plastic boxes. In fact, three empty plastic boxes is proof that I got rid of stuff. The truck of the car is filled with treasures for Goodwill. Bags of clothing and bedding are ready for the church rummage sale. The dumpster is coming next Wednesday.

It’s time to go, stuff in the attic, 227/365






We’re back at again, letting go of stuff. Another dumpster will be delivered in our driveway in a couple of weeks. It’s our fourth or fifth in the last twenty years. Unfortunately I don’t keep track of the dates of that kind of home maintenance—maybe in my next life.
    Our goal is to clear out enough stuff so we could call a realtor and say we we’d be ready to put the house on the market in three months. We have no specific plans, but at our age (circling 80), it’s not a wild idea.
    The focus this time will be on the attic, garage, or barn. As far as I’m concerned, if you have even one of these, it will get filled/junked up. It’s a law of nature.
    I’ve been working on the attic. My plan is to go through EVERYTHING. If we’re not using it, out it goes. When I am finished I envision that all that remains will be in plastic storage boxes--seasonal clothes and bedding, cushions for outdoor furniture, and selected Christmas decorations.
    ALL the rest will go to the church fair and rummage sale, Goodwill, the put-and-take (which closes at the end of the month), and of course, the dumpster.
