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!!

Will you come do my attic? It needs it badly. I think we've just moved our attic junk from house to house - for 30 years! Ugh! Good work my friends ;-)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Impressive!! Congratulations on a job well done!
ReplyDeleteHi! I just found you from the 'Comin Home blog. THANK YOU for posting the "before" picture of your attic! It looks just like mine! I was mortified when I walked in it the other night for something. (the kids have been getting into stuff) So you have inspired me that there is indeed hope!
