Assault on the attic

Now with the weather cooling down Carol and I are making a push at clearing out our attic which is over the garage, we also needed to reopen some space for the deck furniture and the screen room to be stored for the winter. In as we don't have a basement the attic was built as a full second floor, about 26 feet long and maybe 16 feet wide. There is plenty of room for a lot of stuff much of which we could get along without quite nicely thank you. How to make that stuff disappear is the real trick. So far we've managed to sort out most of it. Some goes to curbside trash and the recycling, trash that doesn't go that way needs to be trucked to the transfer station the next town over. Good stuff we don't need goes to the Salvation Army's store across town. This coming Saturday there's a electronics recycling drop off in another town nearby. What all this will gain us is space to figure out the next steps - what to do with what we keep and re-evaluate what else we can be rid of. All this sorting amounted to staging the various goods in one of the two bays of the garage - motivation to finish the job soon or I'll be clearing snow off the truck before going anywhere.
