We Made A Mess (But Then Cleaned It Up)
My wife and I have been planning to clean out the attic basement for manymanymany years. On March 10, we finally got around to doing it. It is simply amazing how much stuff you accumulate over the years.
We had a very scientific approach - we took everything out of the basement and put it into the backyard. Everything. Then we made three piles, just like on that TLC show, “Keep”, “Trash” and “I-Don’t-Know-Yet.”
The boys were a bit confused. And maybe a touch concerned (as it was late afternoon when we got the notion).
I used the blower to clean out the basement, then moved all the “Keep” section back into the basement in neatly ordered rows, while MR reviewed the “I-Don’t-Know-Yet” stuff. When we were both done, we moved all the trash behind our fence (thank God we live on a alley, and only had to carry this junk about 20 feet) and all the rest into the basement.
