When my dad died, we had to sell the his house. My parents had been married for over 50 years, and when their parents died, the stuff went to my parents house. They had "stuff" packed in every possible location. The house looked normal, not a horder situation, but every closet and cubby hole was full.

We started throwing away lots of crap, like bank statements and canceled checks from the 1980s, from my grandmother who had been dead for 20 years. Income tax records from the 1960 to date were stacked in there.

The family went through the house and grabbed anything we felt we had to have. The rest was left for an estate sale. We hired a guy to come in, sort everything, price it, and get the permits, and advertise it and do the sale. He got 50% of the sale price, and he earned his half as it was a ton of work.

We all went home and started getting rid of crap we do not need. I have thinned my stuff, but I still have lots to chunk.

My tools are off limits. Just last month I used a tool I have had for 25 years, that I bought for one tack. If I did not have it, I would have had to stop, clean up, and go to the store to buy a 18mm crow foot line wrench. Instead, i just plucked it from its place in the tool box, used it and put it back in place.
