Donate it and claim the sales prices as a tax deduction

Thank you, yes! I have just called Heirlooms for Hospice and made arrangements to take to them today. I also called my son who is going to give a few houseplants a new home, including a seven foot schiflera, my mom's Christmas cactus, and some Phil O'Dendrons. This will help with the clutter and is something I never would have contemplated before this.

As for short term goals. I think I'd be more realistic in saying I will get the rest of the shutters painted and up before Micca gets here. That I know I can do on my own.:-)
