Default Out with the old!

Well, it is the first and the start of a brand new year. I'm planning on going through the house room by room over the next week or so and getting rid of 'stuff' that we no longer need. In other words, we are decluttering! Hopefully it will stay that way.

We need to declutter too, but it's such a chore. Already have a huge load of stuff to take to goodwill, and that's without trying too hard.

This is what I did during my time off last month. Boy did I get a lot done!

We need to go through some of our outside buildings. I to turn one of them into a shop, and I have so much stuff in it that needs to be cleared out. Perhaps if we get a warm spell anytime soon, I'll get started on it.

What a great idea. Make room for the stuff you care about and keep the old stuff in circulation so someone else can use it.

I'm finding it isn't such a big chore Bojib if you just take it a little at a time. I managed to get some done today. It s such a good feeling when you get rid of a bunch of stuff you really don't need any longer.

I did a ton of this in the fall. I'm in the middle of finishing half of my basement so I had to get rid of a lot of stuff to make room to work. Had to clean out the shed, too, to make room for some stuff that needs to be out of the basement until the floors are in.

Still, too much crap, need to do more of it. I have too many hobbies and some of them are space hogs.

Willa, because of all the new household stuff we received for Christmas, I have no choice but to go through and declutter a bit. I am hoping it doesn't take too long. Almost all of it needs to be centered in the kitchen though.

If you're throwing out a bass boat, I'll come by and pick it up.

I need to go through all of the cabinets, drawers, and closets in our house and get rid of all the junk we've amassed over the years that we never use anymore. Our kitchen cabinets and drawers are particularly bad; we have way too many kitchen utensils!!
