[QUOTE="1905, post: 476937, member: 2668"] Save the kitchen for last. How about you and Tony make a plan to do your living room together? You will sit there and say "trash" or "save". Since there isn't furniture in there, it may be the easiest to clean out. Tony will just keeping hauling out the stuff you don't need to the trash. A good rule is, if you haven't used it or worn it in a year, it's trash. Don't save anything you think someone may want later, your objective is to get it cleaned up. You may waste some things, but the end result will be worth it. Empty the whole room. I realize that you may have to make a mess of another room while you do this. On Day 1, empty the room. On Day 2, put things away. I didn't mean you would "just" be sitting there. You can take a windex bottle and some paper towels and start cleaning things that you can hold. Nothing big, just to have the little things clean. This job seems like nobody wants to do it because there are many things and nobody knows where to put them. But you do! You need to be there to give direction. Tony needs to be there as well. Your house will be cluttered up until you get this room put back, it won't take as long as you think, nor will it be as daunting once you start and have at least some of it done. Throw away anything that is junk, your goal is to have a nice house. Great that his relatives are coming, now he has an excuse to help you! Don't worry about what they are going to eat, Boston Market and get take out (who even cares, I think your supermarket can even make it for you), your goal is a clean house. That's Tony's goal, now he has an reason to help clean. Billy can move the big things or take out trash, this way nobody is overwhelmed. [/QUOTE]
