We can’t believe how much stuff we have decluttered! After the “Great Flood”, we have been unpacking and decluttering along the way during July. Our stuff was delivered July 14 and we staying the night for the first time July 30. We had to wait for a bathroom to be functional. Things are not quite back to normal but they are coming along.
Here are the numbers so far for 2015:
House = 5269
Garage = 2424
Barbie’s, etc = 2301 (See this post for details)
GRAND TOTAL = 9994 with 32 trips to Goodwill. 9 of these trips were this recent month!
Items removed this month = 1632 !!
WE WILL MAKE IT TO 10,000 ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE HOUSE!! Who knew that we would actually declutter this much stuff when we started in January. We were tempted to go around and find 6 items but we are too tired tonight.
We didn’t eliminate any stuff from the garage this month. It is still full of boxes/belongings/furniture that used to be in the house. The Barbie category didn’t change either. The toys left are in the rafters of the garage and can wait until we have more of the house completed.
While we are unpacking, we keep thinking how much more work it would have been with 8362 more items. The approximate 1000 books alone gave us a backache!
Decluttering the Stuff 
I envy your ability to keep count! I wouldn’t have got this far if I had had to keep track.

It’s weird how once you start counting, it is easy to keep counting. We haven’t counted individual paper we shredded, but some things (like pens!) result in a strange curiosity to see how many. Not sure I will do the counting for the 2016 in 2016!

That’s an awesome number for the month (and total), I suspect a portion of that might have been your pen “monster” pile? 😉 throw a few more in there and you should be at the 10000 😉

Pens and pencils really did help! We are still amazed how much we had packed away.
