Due to my moms declining health and other unforseen events,I am moving back in with my mom and am cleaning out a room untouched for 10 years.Before that it still had a lot of things from the 70s and 80s in it.
I started at the beginning of July,and the garbage and valuables mixed in reached to my chest and I am tall (5'10").I have cleaned out around 60 30 gallon bags of garbage.And 20 bags of things to keep or donate.
Also the hall is immaculate and the living room is at maintenence.We are soon going to get a plumber to come and fix the long awaited and leaking bathroom plumbing.
I am painting this room purple!I still have a looong way to go though.

thanks,my brother and are also ripping out the 70s avacodo green carpeting,which is ruined anyhow to the point of just turning into dust in our hands.We are putting down vinyl composite floor squares. The heat is just so energy draining right now,but we are chipping away at this.

Woolybooger, just remember one day at a time...but you're already doing that...keep yourselves hydrated in this heat, and be sure to make time for a little fun in between this big project. Just think of how proud you'll feel once you've completed it all!  |

I found this avatar online but I too,think its so cute.This room is going to be all purple,or as much purple as you can shake a stick at. I bought the purple Bella bedding from Twilight and also have purple curtains.

Purple is my fav color, too. I wonder how many other clutter-people's fav color is purple?

Purple is my fav color, too. I wonder how many other clutter-people's fav color is purple? Looks like you're onto something there, dailystruggle. Count me in as a purple-lover, too! (Although purple is just one of my 3 favourite colours. Silver and orange are the other two.)  woolybooger, if you want an idea what your walls might look like, check out my before/during photos in the photos section; you can see my deep purple walls... meow |

Sounds like you are making great progress. And I agree -- hooray for elder care! Wish I could do more with my mom.
Purple is my favorite color.

Your progress sounds wonderful. My mother has two upstairs bedrooms no one has gone in in at least 30 years. She uses them for "storage". One room is so jam-packed the ceiling of the room below is sagging. When she dies, that will be a miserable job for someone. But it CAN be done.

Stuff from the 70's and 80's... it sounds both fun and horrifying at the same time! The summer heat is the pits, though, if you don't have central air...
meanwhile cheering you on!!!
