Clutter that is hoarded and collapses to crush the homeowner is onerous.

A couple of aha! moments this morning: when I work in the attic I have a few lights up there but it's not easy. These days they make strings of bright LED lights that can be put along the length of the house and turned on with a single switch yet use very little power. I've measured the distances down the middle of the house to set that in motion.

I've also concluded that the way to remove the smaller tree in the back yard is by dragging the extension cord and using the electric reciprocating saw with one if its long wood-cutting blades. The DBH (except it's DAH - diameter ankle high, not breast high) is only about 8 inches. Doable by taking out a wedge in 1/3 of the tree then cutting through from the back.

It's cold and overcast today, so after placing a couple of online orders I'll head into the sewing studio and consider how to assemble a project for a friend.
