Made a pretty big dent the last couple of days. At this point I'll take a SWAG and say I'm 20% to where I need to be.
I'm glad tomorrow is trash day, as I've completely filled (packed pretty tight, too) the "Recycle" bin with empty, flattened out cardboard boxes, and misc bits and pieces of "stuff" that are allowed in that bin, and the regular bin that gets everything else.
I finally got my two Dahlquist DQM-9 speakers out of there. They'll be going on the back porch for now until I get them listed on
If anybody "local" is interested in them, drop me a line and we'll talk. I got them from a very good friend who takes fanatical care of his equipment. He just had new foam edge surrounds (outer edge of the cones) installed by Dahlquist right before I bought them, and the cabinets look like new.
And I consolidated about 10~12 other boxes of small items (mostly computer stuff) into three boxes, meaning there's a lot less wasted space.
I still don't know what I'm going to do with all the PC bits and pieces I have; perhaps just sell them in "lots" on eBay. Stuff like that I won't list on
I know what the "retail" value of the stuff is, and offering me $20 for something easily worth $200 is an insult. The $200 price I had on things was well under "retail", and even the flippers that came to look at it knew that, yet insisted on low-balling me to the extreme.
Oh, well....dinner time here, and then back out to the other end of the garage. At least I have free access to my two big rolling tool boxes now, and I can get to the shelving units behind them, and start going through all that stuff..........
Good luck with the garage... That is my next project... Sigh
ReplyDeleteI would think cleaning and organizing after you just moved in to a place is a bit different than going through 7 years of accumulation.
ReplyDeleteI've got stuff that it's going to pain me to get rid of, and hopefully you went through taht before you moved.....:-)
