Debated on whether to start this thread, but after razor blades and dental floss, will take a chance.
This time looking for advice. Thoughts, suggestions, experiences, pitfalls, and recommendations about how to empty a house, where "stuff" has accumulated for decades. Selling, moving, storing, junking or giving away what can't/won't be used. Also... costs... hiring, renting, packing, storage, etc...
Despite moving several dozen times, we have never had to actually clear out a home, since all moves (except the very early ones) were managed and paid for by companies.
No illusions about this being easy. Will actually move only a small part of the stuff... most will have to disappear. I have read into some of the threads, cases where members have moved parents and can see the challenges.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
