Whew.
A whole lotta STUFF that I don't need now and probably never did.
I've been through several rounds of thinning books, clothes, tossing out junk in the attic (then adding to the attic), some precipitated by a roof replacement, a major basement flood, and moving myself from the master bedroom to another room. Now trying to get the house on the market, so more thinning to do. Maybe I'll just get an apartment as soon as I get back in the states and move all my junk out of the house. Maybe that will help it sell.

I got rid of an old snowblower that didn't work through Freecycle. Otherwise it might have cost to dispose of it, not to mention being a pain to haul it anywhere.
