[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 329653, member: 393"] [SIZE=3]Mary, before husband died & when wm was still living here I had 3 hoarders in my home. When it was just husband & myself it was almost manageable ~ I'd sit down with husband & we'd plan the chores weekly & monthly. husband actually donated items of clothing, computers to the Boyscouts, etc. He wasn't the extreme hoarder he was at the end of his life. I laid claim to the kitchen ~ that was my room & no one was to leave anything in it or it would be removed. I also put my claim on the common areas so company could come & there was a way to exit the house in case of a fire. You walked upstairs at your own risk, entered husband's office at your own risk. Saying that, after husband died & before the remodel, my family came to help sort things out & we filled 2 30 yard dumpsters. It was like a scene from Hoarders except I didn't protest; husband wasn't here to protest & kt was at respite that weekend. (I probably should have protested or been more aware as new televisions got tossed, computers with data got tossed & I paid thru the nose to dispose of those items on top of all that.) I hate a cluttered messy house. It never is truly clean because you cannot get to the floors & other areas to clean. You have my empathy. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
