Getting rid of all of your crap!

I was reading an old post about how I was getting rid of stuff so we would have less. Ha ha. Five or so years later, an auction and lots and lots of trips to donate to the women's shelter thrift store, we have managed to reduce our boxes of stuff to a 4x12 space hidden behind a curtain in our bedroom. In my defense, I had a 3500 square foot house and two storage sheds in Texas. As I was packing and getting rid of stuff I kind of reached a point where I just couldn't get rid of anything else, so I put it in boxes and stored it. I peeked in each box, made a note of what is in it and put it behind the curtain. We are almost finished remodeling the upstairs and when we are done, i can pull out a box, one at a time and deal with its contents by scanning to a computer, selling on ebay or donating.

Now Bill wants to move to 40 foot sailboat...
