I might not make up for Blessed or Nancy, but here I am!
HEADS UP: I saw today on TLC they are making another program soon to be on called Hot Mess House. It showed a room all hoarded up, but I could still see the furniture there...and I got the idea from that short snippit that it was going to be more like what Walsh did years ago...or so it seemed. Those not able to get TLC, sometimes these things turn up on utube.
I'm making progress out in the garage. So far I have 2 big huge bins of papers to burn and I'm still pulling stuff out of the army trunks. Prior years, after 10 years passed, I'd been throwing receipts away but keeping bank, tax, payroll stuff forever. I RS information says 7 years tops for it all. I've quit keeping prints of spreadsheets, ledgers, quarterly reports, bank statements ad infinitum. We've never once been audited and at this point doubt it would happen now.
I keep cost basis papers for our house and loan / satisfaction papers for houses we've built and sold, even though that stuff is in the public record.
I have one small stack of papers to bring in and see if I want to keep any of that... but there's not much and I doubt I'll keep any...
Tried to weigh a bin. It was too heavy for the scale!
Went back out and finished the paperwork. Got another 1/3 of the 3rd bin filled. 1 Army trunk completely empty. I have room out there now to completely clean out everything in the office and stuff I need to keep can go out there. That won't happen for a while, but nice to know I can when I'm ready.
Oh, by the way, in a plastic bag, with my hammer, the porcelain thing that's been sitting here probably 6-7 years is pulverized and in the garbage. Yay, that felt good.
