Water got into my garage, with our recent rains because the side door I had put in, in 2019 got warped for the rain and now, it won't close all the way! Fortunately, the water stayed in that one area and not the whole garage, but, cleaning out the garage is on my To Do list for next year!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-10722105949854970892021-12-31T04:35:33.228-08:002021-12-31T04:35:33.228-08:00No- I didn't empty the basement this year, it ...No- I didn't empty the basement this year, it has always been empty. lol. <br />I was just saying that I didn't have an area like a full basement to be concerned about. I know that's a problem area for some people. <br /><br />Our basement sometimes gets a bit of water in a bad storm. It's hard to predict when - we might go years and get nothing but then we will get some water if it rains a lot. I can never tell so I've just never kept anything down there. Except for the wet dry vac I got at a yard sale for $8<br />lol <br />56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-60719019773272112502021-12-30T20:06:02.083-08:002021-12-30T20:06:02.083-08:00That was kind of both you and your DS to pass on t...That was kind of both you and your DS to pass on the Meccano set.

Well done on getting those larger items out and emptying the basement, etc. <br />Keeping the things that are coming in to a minimum is the key, I'm finding; or, at the very least, making sure an equal number is also going out! I've a garage full of stuff to get rid of, too, but, for now, I want to focus on the house, itself. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-64582845051604682952021-12-30T19:19:51.496-08:002021-12-30T19:19:51.496-08:00Well done on keeping the incoming items to a minim...Well done on keeping the incoming items to a minimum. :) That's half the battle, isn't it?Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-12194163424753078902021-12-30T18:04:49.526-08:002021-12-30T18:04:49.526-08:00I was happy to donate some years old Meccano to a ...I was happy to donate some years old Meccano to a young friend. When I asked DS if I could pass it on, he didn't know it was still around and certainly didn't need it!<br />Decluttering slowed up in December although I do have some items in a couple of boxes. I hope to get down to some serious decluttering in the New Year.

I have had a successful December as well and will be right there with you in 2022!<br /><br />I will be more mindful of the one in one out thing too. I've sort of been doing that - lining items off of the declutter list if I bring something new in thereby opening up that "slot" again. That keeps things balanced in my counting, at least to my way of thinking. But I will be more on top of it and pay close attention. <br /><br />With virus precautions I have't been going to the yard sales or thrift stores I enjoy so the inflow has been minimal and that helps. <br /><br />I don't have real problem areas specifically but this year I did get several large things out of the house and I worked hard on the garage area. <br />My basement is empty and so is my attic - although thinking of this I think our luggage is in the attic and I'm going to move it down to a closet and see if there's a piece or two we might donate. <br />There you go - A job to start the new year off with :)56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-11450963959300313732021-12-30T01:20:42.573-08:002021-12-30T01:20:42.573-08:00I haven't done much in the way of decluttering...I haven't done much in the way of decluttering this month, although very little has found it's way into the house.
