The attic, basement and garage just had one path from the front to the back packed full. Each room had no more then 3 total linear feet of wall space not covered by furniture. This included two refrigerators in the kitchen (small kitchen) and a deep freezer in the "flower" room. We got her to sell some, pitch a lot, but most of the stuff still ended up in the new house just to be stored in the garage and yard barn so she could "determine who needed it". We didn't have movers so the fact that we were moving stuff we all know was going to be pitched later was frustrating. 90% of what we got we pitched after we took it home. Gotta love them though, they just know someone will need it some day even if its broken. conq can fix anything so he can have it.... I pitched. my Condolences on having to participate with your cold and to Cassie and the rest of the family helping. I know what your going through and sometimes "fire insurance" is easier, just a thought....

We cleaned out my great-grandmother's attic several years back. We filled a 10 yard dumpster in minutes. Aside from the junk, I found old, and I mean OLD, newspapers and periodicals. Like Playboys that had belonged to my great-grandfather dating mid 50s. Not to mention newspapers from when JFK was shot, LBJ was sworn in on Air Force One, and who knows what about Red China. Can I tell you how unbelievably PI$$ED I was when they went missing, after I had set them aside for safe keeping??? Oh the junk and treasures you’ll find.

I would like to see pictures. This type of project will be undertaken by my clan soon. My fathers attic was sealed shut by his mother in 1973-75 and noone has been up there since. We are redoing insulation and have litterally need to find the opening cause noone can remember where it is. I really would like a preview of things to come.

Whatever you do do NOT open any boxes until they are all out of the way and the attic is empty. I do envy you at the treasures you will find. Been there and done the 40 year old box thing.
