Well we've started.We are remodeling the second floor of the house.
I took everything from my parent's house and stored it in the garage....at least 200 boxes.
I then got stuck....how do we change out the bedroom carpets? install hardwood in some rooms? de-clutter and de-toy bedrooms that once held children and now hold young adults?
Spun my wheels for a while....then decided the only way to accomplish this was to work on one room at a time.....starting with my daughter's room and working around till we get to the master bedroom....then and only then hit the garage with all those boxes.
It took me a week to clean out her room and the carpet arrived over the weekend.
It's beautiful....but that leaves her closet her bathroom...the boys rooms....etc etc.
Looks like we are going to have to live a very cluttered life....with new mattresses waiting for new floors and Goodwill having a bonanza from old clothes and toys.
This spring after the literary festival and silent auction...I will tackle Ebay and figure out how to become a seller....for some reason I've been dreading the process....and then between Craig's list, Ebay and Goodwill....I hope to have a clean uncluttered life in about a year?
Then we have to make a decision about the kitchen. Oy.
