Tidy. Mine are in a bucket. Trouble is I can't find the bucket. It's in the shed but I can't get in the shed because it's full of rubbish that I need to get rid of. But I might need it next week.

You are not alone. I have those buckets (and boxes), too and trouble finding stuff. (Ashamed to show a photo thereof.) 😛

I keep Mini Squealer up to date on everything. Where to find inventory lists of all…who to contact should I go face down without notice. Value listed @ get rid of it…price paid.
This picture is only 2m / 6’ of my garage /shed.

Honestly I don’t give a rats bottom. Although I’ve left instructions on how to dispose of everything ( people ). I live my life free.
Next Gen, it’s a choice.

Like what’s your kid going to do with a couple thousand tools they know nothing about ?

Downsizing ? Ma Squealer just bought a reference library of 1,200+ books…. I’m looking into house addition.

Houses are considerably cheaper in Missouri, plus you get more house. 😉

I recently read a great article called the Swedish Death clean.

The idea is to remove the burden of decluttering for your loved ones after you’ve passed away, so you’re left only with the essentials and those items that have the most meaning.

While it was initially intended for those later in life, it can be relevant at any age when clutter has started to accumulate. It’s a mindset designed to help you consider the true worth of items as you sort through them.

I'm building up the stamina to start the process.

@PigSquealer I thought mine was bad. You need a therapist.😀

Yes I need to do this, starting with the loft, but then I think of all them times we had sleepless nights waiting for the kids to get in at 4 am worse the wear from drink, and all the taxi rides we did and then maybe letting them do it after we've gone might not be a bad idea.

So much rubbish to throw away. But just a minute, I might need that 50 yr old rusty screw or piece of scrap metal tomorrow or next week. I'll put it in the shed just in case.

2 weeks after a clearout I always find I need something I threw away.

Yes, I threw away the battery charger for a drill I'd lost years ago.

Guess what I found two days later?

That reminds me ... nearly 50 years ago during a street parade in Honolulu, I happened upon a good friend, a clarinet player I met while at the Naval School of Music in Virginia about 6 months prior. We played in the same concert band periods. He was now in the US Marines band in Kaneohe, across the Pali from Honolulu.

During a visit, he told me that he had received a package from his parents of personal things from home. Unknowingly, he did not sort through some of the paper packing in the box, and by accident threw away 4 clarinet mouthpieces.

Isn't that called a support group meeting in a pub?
