Teppy, I was wondering how you were feeling. Stuff hits me harder, when I have a fever. I'm glad you are taking it easy.
So they're going to email Tim with an estimate to clean out the office and treat the mold, and to basically get rid of 95% of the stuff in our horrific basement and treat whatever mold they find there (it's an unfinished basement that's totally underground; it's going to have mold).
You'll both feel better when this part is out of the way.
Just goes to show what people said about they've always seen worse!
Well, to be 100% honest, the office is horrible, but it's not like pictures I've seen of hoarding situations. Well, I mean, it's difficult to walk in the room, and there are piles and piles of stuff, along with way too many shipping boxes (Amazon, etc) that he kept because "it's a good box!"* Is there a hoarding continuum? The office would be, like, Hoarding 101: Intro to Hoarding With Optional Mold Lab Credit.
*(I, too, know the appeal of a good box. But there are always other boxes, my dude.)
(I do have photographic evidence of the hoard in the office, because I have in fact taken pictures of the office before he even started his cursory removal of stuff, and I will never, ever, EVER show them to anyone in my life.)
kept because "it's a good box!"
I have that problem, too.
Oh Sumi, I'm sorry. All the health~ma to you.
kept because "it's a good box!"
I have that problem, too.
Plus we have a cat, so the living room looks like the UPS store or something with his empty boxes and pile of brown packing paper that he loves more than toys we spent actual money for.
So I get the appeal of a good box.
sumi I'm sorry to you have cancer. I hope the doctors are able to treat it quickly and relatively well.
I have a grandmother and an aunt who had breast cancer. My grandmother will be 101 this year! she had breast cancer in the 90s and about the same time my Aunt Wanda had breast cancer and she's in her 80s. both them had relatively good experiences with chemo
We have so many Amazon boxes.
We have so many Amazon boxes.
My cat would like to talk to you.
Everybody, listen to me. Throw out all the boxes except one. That's all you need.
Break them down and toss them into recycling.
If you
really
need a box, the dollar you spend on it will be worth the free space and declutter.
Also, free boxes at USPS for priority mail anyway.
