susandennisTija was already mostly into the job by the time I got down to the storage locker at 6:30 this morning. We got everything out without my having to go in there and got it all upstairs to the main level of the garage. There is an area that has kind of grown into the "free store" where people leave shit they don't want. (Last month I scored 2 cartridges from my printer - my best find ever.)
I put a sign on the whole pile saying that whatever was still there by Friday would be taken to the Goodwill. But, I'm pretty sure there will be nothing left.
3 computer tables
2 rolling grocery carts1 other small table
2 TiVos (no remotes)
1 bin of knitting patterns
6 plastic milk crates
3 large plastic bin with lids
2 pair wire pants dryers
1 large TV lazy susan
A giant basket of coax cable
1 radio/cassette/CD player
24 large plastic stemmed wine glasses
And I can't even remember the rest.
Whew and done.
And... Tija said that by the time we were done she could really feel that there was something in the air there that was not good for breathing. As she pointed out, she has great lungs so she wasn't concerned for her but she could see how not great lungs would balk. She is, she said, going to lay down a bunch of mold killer and then a layer of wooden pallets before she sticks her stuff in there. "But, really, who cares if old client files stink?"
She's delighted to have the space and I'm delighted to have the rent plus have it all cleared out. And it's only 7:30 am! Good day so far!!!

Thing two: Your symptoms sound a lot like a mold infestation, which ought to be seriously complained about to landlord and health authorities. http://www.tenantsunion.org/rights/mold-indoor-air-quality/ is a good place to start if landlord is uncooperative.
