[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 553383, member: 84"] Janet, that is one heckova start. And you gotta start somewhere. Personally, I think you were very very brave to start in the bathroom. I left that room until last, it's just such a pain to clean and so darn involved. The first actual *room* I got completed was my bedroom. I thought (hahaha) that it would be the easiest room. Wow, was I wrong. Two days, obviously it wasn't easy. Fred had much more hoard up there than I realized. I swear you get used to looking at it and stop noticing it. That was a few weeks ago. I flat out refused to allow it to get messed up again. I'm being more than a bit anal about the rest of the house now. Fortunately, Travis is good about keeping it that way. Now if I have a "lazy" day and am stupid and start just plopping stuff.....he will too.....and it will go downhill again. Otherwise, he's pretty good about cleaning up after himself except in his own room. The downstairs part of the house took forever as Fred's hoard was all over the place tucked in here and behind that and crammed into there. So each time I tried to tackle a hoard spot......it messed up the room again and I had to start over. omg I swear to all that is holy, I will [B]never[/B] be a packrat. The amount of trash that went out of this house over that year was simply unbelievable. Now I have an issue. I just found Fred's dress blues. I can't bring myself to toss them out. I know they cost him a pretty penny back in the day. And, well, he got married in them. But I dunno what to do with them. No one is going to want them I don't think. I mean they mean a great deal to me.........but.......yeah. So if anyone has any ideas of what to do with dress blues, let me hear it. [/QUOTE]
