I started at my friends house today and I have the biggest task to accomplish EVER! It definately gives me a taste of what to expect when doing professional organization and having to deal with a hoarder.
He did such a great job in the kitchen today. I think I tossed about 5 large bags of trash. Maybe kitchen size bags of trash. Then we put 5 large bags and 2 boxes aside for the garage sale he's going to have. I know...who would of thought 1 kitchen could have that much stuff, but it did. He's taken over his mom's house bascially and I promised her for Christmas I'd have her house decluttered by this summer. Her biggest wish is to have her kitchen done 1st so she can use all her new dishes, glasses and silverware she got for Christmas last year. She's in rehab right now after surgery and will be gone for another 3 weeks. I'm hoping I can knock a good portion of it out before she gets home and have a garage sale with him the last weekend before she comes home. Whatever is left afterwards, will immediately go to Goodwill.
He has some additional homework to do, but when I get that room done and cleaned, I'll be posting things to my blog as I go.
I need to go check out this weeks HGP and get my list started. I haven't done that yet.
