Crawling out from a crazy week. Alan has been finishing a few rooms in our basement. We started with the only two rooms we could clean out. To do this we had to move all that stuff to the other unfinished areas. It's been a few months and those rooms are now wall boarded and close to done so Alan told me it was time to clean out the whole basement. Remember my post about Oprah and all the stuff? Well we had a lot of stuff (not as much as they did of course). Our entire 1200 sq ft basement was stuffed with stuff. What you ask? JUNK! I have dreaded this project but Alan had some time off so I had to give in and get it done. It wasn't great that I came down with a terrible cold. Worst one in a year. Aches, no sleeping at all at night. I worked with Alan from morning till late into the night feeling absolutely terrible. Alan worked a lot harder then I did of course but I was juggling the twins and trying to sort through all of the stuff. I hate these kind of projects because they seem to spill into the rest of the house and make everything a giant mess. We filled the entire dumpster and took 6 truckloads to Deseret Industries (like Good will). Oh and did I mention I was also in charge of a mother/daughter dinner for church yesterday? I was so glad when Friday came the dumpster was removed and I could finally take a nap. It felt like moving a whole floor of our house! My house is total chaos now. My basement is clean, my garage is clean but every inch of my house is a mess. No laundry has been done, no basic cleaning, every ounce of energy went into this project.
Day 1. My kitchen was stacked to the ceiling with bins eventually. Miserable huh?
Bags and Bags of stuff to donate.
Jacob had a friend over and they decided they loved throwing stuff in the dumpster!On a good note... Alan has a lot more room to build in my basement. The rooms we are beginning to finish will be a playroom w/ a playhouse under the stairs and craft room for me. Maybe I can finally get scrapbooking again!
