Weird too how the smaller we want to be, the bigger our storage needs appear to be. (Using "to be" just as bad as using "too" too much.

The older materials should match your recycled barn too.

A few things went to auction, a few more went with mom to her apartment, a very few more were dispersed between us four siblings. A large dumpster was rented and the contents of basement, years of keeping things just in case, stuff from the garage, even bricks my father had stored in the basement went into the dumpster. My brother borrowed a front end loader tractor from a neighbour to tamp down the contents so we could fit even more into the dumpster. You may want to consider that tactic. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-8168497268356749002018-07-03T11:57:39.236-07:002018-07-03T11:57:39.236-07:00It's good to read that you will be able to rec...It's good to read that you will be able to recycle parts of the old farmhouse. And keeping some parts like that small attic doorway will keep it in your memory when you see your scarves displayed, Donna. hen we emptied my late mother';s home we also made sure to fill the dumpster as much as possible!Beatrice P.
