The man who picked up the band saw and stand today said he wants to adapt the stand for another tool, and since I told him the saw itself was recalled he'll tell the friend who wanted to test it that they'll have to pass on that idea. He's learning carpentry from his father while his dad is still around to teach him. We also talked about the garden (such as it is this year) and I gave him some of this year's garlic to eat and corms for planting his own. Good visit (but hot!)
School supplies picked up by a new teacher who is accumulating materials for her first classroom. That is six inches deep of shelf space in the bookcase in my office; I've had that colored printer paper since my mom sent it decades ago. I can reorganize that entire shelf now (and will have a bunch of legal-size paper to give away soon.)
When I picked up peaches yesterday my daughter also handed over a dozen eggs laid by her chickens! Whoo hoo! I gave her a stack of egg boxes that had been stored in a cabinet from when the kids and I were decorating blown eggs. I kept them because I sometimes used the boxes to pack around heavy items I sold on eBay. Now they will return to their original purpose of protecting eggs.
When decluttering you can decide to chuck everything and shove it out to the dump, to the thrift store, to the curb. Or you can take time and learn something in the process. I've tried to move things on to people who can use them or places that will be able to find new homes. When I sell things from the family estates it means I've learned something about the era it came from, and I have notes and photos from the research, even if I'm not keeping the items. My house is so much more organized than when I moved in. Right now there are two rooms in particular that need work, and the garage can be reorganized. I resolved to never use off-site storage once I got moved into this house, and I resolved to park in my garage, and be able to easily get in and out of the vehicle, not have the space so full that pulling the car in was a fit like a glove. It needs work, but is useable.
