Attic Spring Cleaning (in January)

Last year we had our roof replaced - including all the plywood. Imagine the embarrassment of all the neighborhood getting to see this site:

So that had become a biggie on the to-do list. Summers in Texas are no time to be in the attic! With the weather in January being so nice and spring-like - we finally attacked this. (Well I had to be pulled in kicking and screaming - thanks honey). We pulled everything down except the kids clothes which I will sort thru this spring. We went thru everything including the Christmas stuff I had just put up a few weeks before. We did have a lot of fun looking at old things from our honeymoon and even boxes of things from years before we met. We have taken boxes of things for donation and I have a nice sizeable stack of items that I am currently trying to ebay. (the best are old 80s rock concert tshirts - I will post some of those when the auctions close - who knew people liked these so much).

BUT here is the end result - my lovely, tidy attic. There are no cardboard boxes and all the boxes are labeled and organized. I didnt even have to go buy plastic tubs to replace cardboard boxes. I had so many that we emptied that we just reused them!!
