Our basement is in okay shape. Ditto the outdoor shed. We don't have a garage.Our living space is relatively uncluttered. Just don't ask me about the basement.![]()
When your parents downsize, be careful about taking their stuff. When my parents moved, we only took a few things because we had no more room. Even what I kept ended up going to donation eventually. Well, not everything. What I have now from my mom and dad is very meaningful to me. Less is more when it comes to estate contents.We have a rather large house. We're not great housekeepers. A lot of our housekeeping energy goes into my parents' places, which we look after more and more every year, to the detriment of our own. Not that we were great 10 years ago.

דית is like a sentimental journey when you go out and spread what was had an lost ... now is ed or Isis ... as kohl ... flakey? Wait for the meltdown ... chilling past? The essence we carry ... do you really careen with it? Staggering ...Have way too much clutter. Really should get rid of some stuff. But I'm quite sentimental
Garage isn't bad. I have to clean it up every Fall so I can put both cars in over the winter. I keep thinking that I should put up a small shed to put the yard stuff (mower, fertilizer spreader) in, which would then free up some space in the garage.Our basement is in okay shape.

Wow, Luce, that's poetry wrapped in reflections. It speaks to me in an elusive way. There's this ache of nostalgia in your words. You're holding onto fragments of something fleeting. Spreading what was 'had and lost.' You're sharing little shards of yourself.דית is like a sentimental journey when you go out and spread what was had an lost ... now is ed or Isis ... as kohl ... flakey?

I had one at my place in Hamilton but it didn't have a garage (small, old town house) so the shed was kind of a necessity. OTOH, the yard was so small I didn't bother with a mower, just a weed whacker, so that saved space. It was a postage stamp yard to start with, then had a huge tree in one corner, the shed in another, a patio at the back of the house with flower beds along the edge of the patio. So the amount of grass left was probably the size of my current rec room.Good plan.
Just beware. Garden sheds can become magnets for junk. Also they hold less than you might think because you need room to manoeuvre in there.
Sorry to be so opinionated about these things. I have read the material of several gurus in the decluttering world.

The essence we carry, I feel that. It's always uniquely ours. I feel we do careen with it
The yards around the houses in East York were like that. My last job was at the hospital there and I often went out for walks on my lunch break.I had one at my place in Hamilton but it didn't have a garage (small, old town house) so the shed was kind of a necessity.
