We have about a 1000 sf space in our basement that is a collection of junk that is primarily my sisters and my parents. We have tried to get rid of a lot, but the only problem is that some of the stuff is really old family heirlooms. What do you do with that kind of stuff that you never use? What purpose does it have collecting dust in a basement? At the same time, it is harder to get rid of that kind of stuff...
America is based on consumerism from bottom to top, and as a culture we definitely succeed, but it also contributes to a lot of emptiness and unhappiness in my opinion.

WE had that same family problem. My mother-in-law collected all crappy things, including porcelain bird statues and hand painted rotary saw blades ....good God when she passed, the house was full of em....
We decided to pick ONE or 2 items, a few personal pictures, opened the house to ALL family members for a week, and what they did not want, we called the HOW foundation to haul off.
One of my dearest friends, Nate...RIP never had a pot to piss in.
He had a wife, small paid for house in the country and the very basics.
He was always as happy as a Lark. He always said.."If you got a bunch of money, stocks, property, and expensive stuff, you always got something to worry about"
Died in his sleep with a smile at 79.
Thanks OS, I worked for 6 hours Sunday :facepalm:
I dare someone to mess it up :lol:
Why sit in a garage when you have a backyard? We have outdoor furniture all around our backyard and are out there most evenings. I like to sit out there because I enjoy the outdoors. I don't think I've sat in a garage to hang out since I was in college.
not concerned about west nile?.....heard it`s pretty prevalent in parts of texas and those lil mofos are most active at dawn and dusk......
be careful....

GW, hell yeah I'm concerned. My wife spent two weeks in ICU from it a few years back.
We've sprayed a LOT and I make sure the only standing water is my pool. So far our backyard is pretty good.
When she's out there we always have the tiki tourches burning with that stuff in them as well.
