Canucklehead 1,633 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 When the gf and I moved in together, we had so much of the same household stuff, our crawl space is mostly full of that. Thankfully I have 4 cousins within 5 years of me and I'm sure one will be moving out soon, so I'll be able to give all that stuff to them Sent from my E6853 using MyGolfSpy mobile app 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tony@CIC 16,823 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Every time we moved the local goodwill store was verrrrry happy. Last time we move about ten years ago I promised we'd never accumulate that much 'stuff'. But unfortunately continue. My solution now (including stop buying) is to do a run to goodwill annually. If we haven't used something in the past 2-3 years it goes there.

Rickp 20,700 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 We are at Goodwill maybe 1-2 times a month. The GW here has an incredible turnover of goods mostly because of the demographics of the area, old and older. We donate stuff often. If we haven't touched something in a year GW it goes. We occasionally find some great more stuff to buy. Heh it's what seniors do in the days they're not golfing or doctors.

Kor.A.Door 5,838 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We went from a small house about 1300SF to an apartment of about 700sf. We brought nothing with us when we moved, we lived there for a year, then moved into a 3000sf home, and after 7 years it's full, no idea how, it just is. We need to downsize again. 2 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
STUDque 11,857 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm a little crazy about clutter. I love throwing things away. My wife and I are having a battle right meow: she keeps trying to fill the house up and I'm trying to keep it empty. Luckily, there's not a whole lot of places to put stuff so I can talk her out of some furniture purchases on that alone Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 3 Quote In my Pisa, riding on a 3.5+ G410+ EXS 5W King F7 Hy i500 5-GW Equalizer 56/60 Heppler Ketsch Link to post Share on other sites

STUDque 11,857 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Here's another project that I'm glad to be done with. I've been getting regular reminders to handle the backsplash since we moved into the house. This project helped me earn the pass out of the house to go play last Sunday with CG2 and ddryan. ____________________________________________ Here's the "before." I didn't personally mind the backsplash but SWMBO hated it so it's gotta go. I'm so glad I used the cardboard to catch all my debris. Using a 7-in-one tool, I chipped off the existing splash. At first, I was happy that it was only mounting tape holding it on (instead of glue) but later changed my opinion. Here it is all off. Still plenty of tape to get off. Glass sprayed everywhere as the pieces broke off. Stupid me started in socks and stepped on a 1" piece. That wasted about 30 minutes while I tended to the wound. Half a day of sanding and chipping and applying adhesive remover and on and on and on I've finally got a reasonably clean wall to work with. 2 runs at spackling and sanding. Now I've got my entire kitchen covered in dust. Paint. This was by far the easiest step. It looks awfully naked in there. Not pictured, I moved the light forward (towards me) to accommodate the shelves. Original shelves. Sanded. Painted. Installed. Aaaaaaaand finished product. Just call me Bob Vila from now on. I'm actually quite happy with how it came out. It was my wife's vision so blame her for the decorating 🤪 This took me 2 1/2 days of solid work and I hated almost every second of it. Glad to be done!

MattF 9,544 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Nice work Stud! I've got another one. Electrical work...what do the sparkies over here smoke before wiring a house? Grab a bunch of wires and throw them in a breaker with no rhyme or reason as to where they're going. I've got breakers that do stuff for upstairs and downstairs...who does that? I'm replacing all the switches with the paddle type and only buzzed myself 3 times...110v just tingles. I've been hit with 240v (that's household size back home) a couple of times and it's a big difference. 3 Quote In the bag: Driver: M5 Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Fairway: Sub 70 939X 15° Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Hybrid: CBX 119 19° hybrid Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Irons: D7 Forged 4-GW Project X Catalyst 80 6.0 Wedge: Smartsole S Putter Tracy Bag: Alpha Convoy 514 Balls: MTB-X or Black Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the Queen, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!
