Hi Declutterers, delurking as requested. I have indeed been following along, and glad to see all the progress being made.

I've been attacking the 'stuff' on a few different fronts. Lots of trash cleared out of garage and shop, but lots more sorting/purging to go. Have passed on or trashed several pieces of furniture. The Ebay machine is cranked up again for the fall/winter selling season, so far so good. Tried the Amazon scanning app route on a stack of books, but the fees are so heinous I took the listings down after literally losing money on the first sale.

Sorting memorabilia for scanning. And, the most fun aspect, I'm 'ripping' all the old LPs to digital, a few a day, whilst doing paperwork and other to-dos. I'm not breaking and titling them now, that is so time consuming. Just want to get them ripped and the covers photographed for reference, and a few of them are saleable. The editing work can be done later while I'm on the road. Anyway, it's nice to hear music I haven't heard in a while.

Still enjoying having a few rooms pretty minimalistic after empting/painting them, although it's hard to keep them that way while actually living in them and getting things done. Still, much better and less stressful to have some clear space.

Any and all advice on cleaning laminate floors welcome, my new ones are lovely but damp mopping isn't quite enough. I've been advised to use Windex but that seems drastic.
