Subject: RE: DECLUTTER *hoards *bad habits *toxic stuff - 2024
I have a taker tomorrow afternoon for a bunch of scrap porcelain floor tile, and while unloading the stack from the back corner of the garage I found 3 more boxes nearby (unopened) that I need to decide what to do with. I could put them down in my closet, or the laundry room, if I have enough. If I decide not to, I can contact this person later and offer them the rest. (This taker is someone who does artisan tile work with broken bits.) Meanwhile, one shelf in the corner of the garage is now clear.

My list of things to do indoors during the heat is growing. There are two faucets in bathrooms that need replacing (between three sinks). I need to re-do the kitchen sink faucet. There is a roller on my garage door that is wobbling and needs replacing; I have spare rollers, but figuring out the exact right spot to stop the door so I can make the exchange is a challenge (one to take to YouTube first). I replaced one a couple of years ago and don't remember how I did it. I think it has to break off before I can replace it.

While working on eBay stuff this evening (after another listing sold today) I realized I could set my laptop on the library table in the den (it has been on a bakers rack in the kitchen forever). A couple of months ago I bought an antique chair ($5) at a garage sale that now sits at that table in the den, and it is just about perfect. I can work there on various projects and watch the large TV (where the Hulu account that my son shares with me is installed). I've researched the next set of vintage glassware to sell while catching up on early episodes of Elementary, I've never seen the entire program and now I'm following along early episodes (reviewing those I have seen) before getting to those episodes new to me. It's one of the best written and most clever programs produced in the last 15 or so years. I don't remember why I didn't see the last two years of it, except it was probably because I missed episodes and like to see them in order.
