Well since retiring July 31st I decided to get house in order. 40 years in one place with 4 kids and wife. Full walk up attic and basement literally loaded to the gills. Started in basement and able to re arrange stuff. Ended throwing out around 30 construction bags of stuff. Ordered heavy duty clear zipper bags for bedding. Wife took care of that.
Attic was something else. You couldn't even go up steps. Been 12 - 15 years since I went up. Literally 130 construction bags and over 200 broken down boxes. Old furniture, old style tv and air conditioner along with misc beds, tables, toys . I had Got Junk haul out heavy stuff. They send 2 big kids over and you point and they take out. Oh, I had 3 rat breeding cages, a bucket of old tools, 1 bag of old cloths and a box of old paperbacks. Everything else was wife and kids.
Put shelving up in attic and put all bedding there, clearing out basement even more. Now when wife and I pass or move attic will take maybe an hour to clear and basement maybe 2. A little more clean up in next few days and should be done. Next is closets and pantry. Next spring is the shed. Feels good.
