This is likely a bad photo but today we took down 2 bookcases of books and the CD tower. We also moved one bookcase to the office and the one that was in there is now in the garage sale pile. A third bookcase was just put downstairs so we can bring it with us. Our Realtor told us that we needed to declutter but having boxes in the basement doesn’t count to the clutter. We have left out all of our leather bound books as they look nice. They are going to be scattered on the 3 book shelves we have up still.
Tony and I both feel funny doing this but it is of utmost importance to us that Tony starts working ASAP after an offer. We figure the more we do now, the less we will have to do later. This clearing out is the first step in getting the house ready. We still have a bit more to do too. Once it is done, then we can focus on painting the few areas that need paint, and fixing the few things we need to fix.
My goal was to have a garage sale this weekend, however with heat indexes around 110 I don’t think outside is a place for anyone. So I am postponing it a weekend hoping that next weekend is better.
This is all sad but I must admit I am looking forward to a house hunting trip and we both realize that that will be needed as it will dictate how much stuff we will have to get rid of.
