<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 411584, member: 2022"]Been there done that. I can relate too well to that article unfortunately. When my sister took my parents down to SC to live with her it left just me to get their house ready for sale - 64 years worth of accumulated "so called" treasures. it took me months, a huge Goodwill truck packed full, a 20 foot by 8 foot tall dumpster FILLED, friends came over and filled pick up trucks full, constantly filled huge garabage cans and hauled to the curb for pickup, My sisters Husband came up from SC TWICE and filled his 14 foot trailer and back of his pickup full. I never saw so much junk in my life. There were some nice antiques but I'd say 80% of the stuff was crap they should have thrown away years ago. 30 boxes of junk Christmas decorations in the attic - and they hadn't celebrated Christmas in the last 15 years. Basement was packed full of junk that all had to be carried up stairs to throw or haul away.</p><p>It was a nitemare that I thought would never end. But finally it did and the house is sold and I will never go back there again - THANK GOD![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
