The great "clean out"

Well, now I've done it.  I'm getting serious about selling this house and downsizing.  I realized that a first step must be be to clean out 33 years of accumulated stuff (stuff sounds a little nicer than trash) from the garages.  Realizing that, if I tried to do it myself, I would be working at it for the next 10 years, I hired a local company to do it.  Two men came this morning and loaded an incredible amount of trash onto to their truck and trailer and hauled it off.  I was pretty sure things would go sliding off all over the road but they strapped it all down and nothing fell off while I could still see them.

They will be back Monday for another load and that should do it.  I was amazed at how much they got done today and really appreciated the fact that they cleaned and swept as they went.  The other thing I appreciated was that whenever they found something that they thought was of value they set it aside for me, knowing that I'm also planning to have an estate sale.

I feel like I've really taken a giant first step here. I'm on my way.
