Hoarders Not So Annonymous

My visit to the Docs was followed by a very quick coffee, a recycle, a load up of the car with garden waste and a trip to the tip.... and then I descended on Bee to have round two of the great Garage de-Clutter.

We worked quick and dirty, starting off with manoeuvring a giant, Axminster 30 year old carpet complete with underlay still attached, (aka... a heavy carpet,) which we Stanley knifed into smaller 30 year old carpets complete with underlay attached.  So heavy.

On unearthing bags and boxes of electrical stuff, wall sockets, wire, adaptors.  I spouted how it's all been been exposed to the elements and it all just might electrocute someone.  She unwillingly let it all go.

Two dozen paint pots / sample pots, all opened, had to explain how everything now has an opened expiry date and an unopened expiry date.  So, can of paint, grout, etc. which have been opened for 30 years........... are really no good.

Everything I picked up, I had to justify, but my sister did a really great job at de-cluttering.  For an unofficial hoarder, she was brilliant, very proud of her.
