The guy showed up late, but he showed up. I was really hoping for at least $100, but he offered $50 (which I had predicted), so we met at $75. I think I might have been able to talk him higher, but honestly, since he was doing all of the work, I just didn't want to push it.

Anyway, he brought a trailer and his Jeep Cherokee. Not enough room, so he called his wife, who brought her SUV, and they both packed it in, but he still had to come back for another packed-in trip. And he left the giant entertainment center and a couple paintings, and he's supposed to be here again today to pick those up. I don't know if he'll show or not, but the center is huge and heavy, and I'm not certain what we'll do with it if he doesn't.

So you can see--I still have a bit of work to do, and some rearranging, and hopefully the guy'll pick up the entertainment center, too. *crosses fingers* You can see it on the right-hand side. The white table is from the sun porch, so that will be gone, as well as the folding tables, which are my show tables. And I'm going to clean off the plastic shelving units and put them against one end.

I can't wait. Seriously. I felt like I was being psychologically crushed by all the stuff. And the basement is partially clear, now, too! So I'm really excited.

Have a great weekend, y'all! I'll be back on Tuesday. I'm going up north to do a teeny craft show in my parents' teeny town. Should be fun.

Wow!

I know exactly what you mean about feeling psychologically crushed by too much stuff. Sometimes the best spirit lifter is getting rid of THINGS and making space!

So, yay.
