"How long?", you ask. It's a function of how much you work at it. How long until I become a great guitar player? I could shorten the time, if I practiced more. (Instead of de-cluttering???) And whether or not you have help; I live alone, so I've got nobody to blame but myself, either.

At this point, the public areas of the house are presentable, but the music/computer room and the spare bedroom are pretty chaotic. Once I get the books to the library used book sale, and the cardboard boxes & newspapers to the recycling center, the whole place will look better.
