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.

YAY!

I know what you mean about being psychologically crushed by the stuff. Clutter can be so stress-inducing.

Just looking at the garage everyday made me want to scream. I had boxes piled up one of the doors, and it made it even darker and sadder inside. Those crazy plastic trees were everywhere and there were so many dirty rusted metal racks full of crappy holiday decorations...omg. I am so happy that it's all (nearly) gone. I mean, there's only a little bit left, so it isn't too bad, but holy cow. This is a giant step forward! Whee!!
