Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

Garage Part 2

504 items gone so far this year!!  We are 1/4 of the way to our 2017 goal!!

Yesterday John went through his box of stuff from his time living in Japan.  So many fun things in it!  He decluttered some of the stuff and ended with a smaller box.

We counted 10 slides as one item.  I vaguely remember this pile being worth about 100 points.

Everyone has these right??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today we spent about 2 1/2 hours in the garage.  We finished the rafters section and removed a few unwanted items.  I’m not sure what John is doing in there at the moment but maybe decluttering his workbench???

On the very plus side, John can walk to his workbench without having to squeeze between the garage door and the air hockey table.  We are so excited!!!

We go back to work on Monday.  Our decluttering spree will be coming to a quick, screeching halt for a while.  This was a very productive week!!

Stuff for the hazardous waste center – taken today!

      Awww thanks!! We’ve been wanting to spend time in the garage for years. I’m so glad we finally had days with no plans. This doesn’t happen often!

          It will be so rewarding! We were amazed at how much stuff was just thrown in there.
