[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 290026, member: 3444"] husband's parents did this when they moved from PA to TX about 8 years ago. They had lived in their home about 50 years and accumlated a sizeable pile of junk. husband flew back to help them sort, toss and box up stuff. Took them about a week to get through it all, but I think it was a smart move. My mom's dying to do this now, but my dad won't part with ANYTHING. He has issues, what can I say? But his health is so lousy now and she's starting to come to terms with that (even if he won't), so I think she's realizing that it won't be much longer before she'll be able to cull through the years of stuff that needs to just go. We're a long way off from downsizing our house, but I've been trying to unload stuff for the past few years and I am DETERMINED to make a meaningful dent this year. Toys, clothes, etc. Lots of stuff that just needs to GO. And I refuse to do a garage sale. Hate them. It's all going to Goodwill or Salvation Army. [/QUOTE]
