Declutter #41 - My Husband's the Hero

I meant to write this over a week ago! But life got busy with hosting Thanksgiving, heading up to the lake, etc. I'm usually the driving force for getting rid of excess stuff, but my husband was the real declutterer two weeks ago!

 

While rearranging the garage to put his motorcycle into storage and have the snowblower handy, he threw out an old hose that we don't use any more. I'm betting it leaks or has a bad attachment piece . . . but it went into the garbage!

 

He also threw away a tarp for . . . a snowmobile? The mice had gotten to it and chewed it up. Yuk.

 

He also gave away a laptop that he inherited from our brother-in-law but wasn't using. And he gave one of our sons a large empty tin for storing bird seed. We hang onto things like that because they can be really handy! But I love that he is willing to share things we're not using with someone who can make use  of them! 

He doesn't like me blogging about him, so please don't congratulate him on decluttering this stuff!

Declutter #19 - garage stuff!

I meant to write this a week ago! (And then some . . . )

I finally got Louie to go through the many containers of used oil / used antifreeze that were cluttering up the garage. I wanted to do this more than a month ago! Usually, I need to leave the garage stuff to him, but that space is super crowded and I have more time than he has to do stuff like stop at the Scott County Household Hazardous Waste site. I took a picture of the back of my Volt with all the containers of nasty stuff, the used oil filters, an electronic device, one box of random metal (not enough to try to get cash for), and one box of batteries and bulbs (not visible). Woohoo!

I donated a few items to the Minnesota Quilter's spring sale. It's not much, but one coffee mug and a baggie of charms are out of my house. They are items I did not want or need (and did not pay for in the first place).

I also loaded up two boxes of items to drop off at Jenifer's house for the Saving Grace Village spring sale. It felt good to get rid of stuff!
