soooooo much stuff

[susandennis]

I've been culling for years. And then I had trash haulers come get half my stuff in September. Of the rest, more than half is being donated and still I have sooooo much stuff!! I packed a lot myself into large plastic bins. About a dozen of them. And still sooooo many boxes needed to pack the rest in.

My toothbrush only move is a laugh.

There are three wonderful packers and they really do know what they are doing. I am so glad I hired them. Well worth the coin.

But how is there still so much stuff???

It's what happens at night. Stuff begats stuff.

Came to say the same as bill_schubert - stuff breeds in corners and drawers and closets.

I suspect you don't have as much as you think, and your 3 packers will be done in 2 hours or less. We had packers when we (5 people, much bigger place than you're in now) moved 2 years ago, we did NO culling (though we really should have, but I couldn't get anyone interested in doing so) and it took 5 movers about 12 hours to pack up all our stuff.

Well, that is certainly encouraging. They started at 8:45 and will be done by noon. 3 of them. But it feels like so much.

Hope Julio and Biggie do okay in the move and living in the new apartment's bathroom okay as well. I hope Julio won't hide under your bed for week either.

When we moved from my partner’s home of 20 years (I’d been there for the last 4) is when I came to realize that he had an entire second house worth of stuff stashed away in the loft.

Stuff breeds whenever your back is turned. Just look at my house for another example.
