I’ve almost cleaned out the larger storage room downstairs; the family room down there is almost free of boxes and the safe room is where I spent most of the day yesterday and today.
This is what it looked like three weeks ago today except I had already started on that center column. I think there were five columns of boxes in some areas and four in others and the boxes were stacked five or six boxes high.
This is what it looks like this afternoon.
I want to have this room emptied, swept and mopped by the end of the week and I think that’s possible.
Once that room is done, all that’s left is the sewing room, which will be a very big job but, once Vince is here to help, and we get it to where there’s room to work, it will just take a little time.
I’m happy with my progress so far.
Suzette Harris says
Glad you’re goal setting. You’re doing great! When’s Vince coming for thanksgiving?
Judy Laquidara says
I don’t know. I’m hoping early next week. My uncle is coming towards the end of next week and I really want Vince to help me with some things before he gets here.

We moved about a year and a half ago. The sight of the Home Depot boxes causes a panic attack in me. So glad that part of my life is over. We spent 32 years in our first house so we had massive boxes of stuff. Most are in the garage now. Someday we will go through the rest. I think you are doing a great job!
Judy Laquidara says
Thanks. The movers are booked through the end of the year so we won’t get the rest of our stuff moved probably til early spring so I hope to have every single box out of here and be well on my way to being organized before the next load arrives.
Those boxes in your garage are just fine. You obviously have everything you need inside. If I had lived in the same house for 32 years, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be enough moving vans in this country to get me moved so kudos to you for even getting it done.
Linda B says
Thank you. It’s really easy to just close the door and not think about it. Maybe this spring?
Nelle Coursey says
That is a LOT of unpacking! You have done an awesome job!!
Judy Laquidara says
I have worked my butt off. Today I never stopped for lunch and almost forgot to eat dinner.
Bon says
You are making great progress
Joyce says
You are doing fantastic!

Looks like you’re coming along quite nicely. I’m sure once you get in the sewing room it will go quickly, unless you get distracted like I would!
