Facebook. Hoarding. Selling and Depression.

Started the clear out today thanks to Cato , 500 kg of Churchill lathe to be re purposed, got to fight my way through the rest now.

Pulled all the weeds that went straight in the compost bin

Not a good idea to put weeds into compost. The seeds may survive to grow when you use the compost.

TBH I have lost my way since Christmas, not getting anything done at all. I also find looking at stuff in the shed/garage/workshop is depressing. No room to move, and no room to do anything.
I know I should be getting rid of stuff, but just find myself looking at it and doing nothing. Then thinking its time for more tea and biscuits and wasting even more time on the internet reading about pointless stuff.

I have the same issue, and not just since Christmas. I can't see where to start, sometimes. I try to tell myself to just do a bit, and it's better than nothing, but it'd be nice for there to be some noticeable reduction at some point. Sunday afternoon is usually my time for trying to clear some stuff out, but I've had to work on the daily driver today so have done nothing.

Plans have a way of going awry. Same with me, yesterday. Ended up doing something yesterday afternoon which I hadn't planned on.

I try to do at least an hour in the shed every day. Currently done in short bursts as it's like Hoth out there, I don't think it's been above 0 degrees for fours days now. The unheated shed is a bit parky, moreso if I'm not moving much.

Doesn't take long before you start feeling it, when stationary, does it.

Ive had a strangely productive couple of days. I used the ikea design a wardrobe app thing to design the carcasses for our walk in wardrobe. Ordered it all last week, came on Friday. Thought I'd start fettling but didn't think I'd finish fitting it this weekend. I've just packed up the tools having finished apart from cutting.six shelves down as I had to reduce the width of one unit by 3 inches.

It's calm though, and dry. Which is nice.

My clear out is going very slow, mainly because I have no space to move things about it. I am being ruthless though and those “I might need that one day” are going including numerous used wiper blades, cables of all kinds and lightbulbs for fittings I don’t even have.

Reminds me, I have got a boxfull of CFL bulbs, all new and unused. Seems criminal to throw them out though.

Also used consumer units and lots of circuit breakers, that I was thinking of using to upgrade mums house (a bit) from the old proper fusebox that uses real fuse wire.

That’s part the problem that when nothing is wrong with the stuff it’s hard to get rid of, the fact they’re obsolete doesn’t come into the equation

Thats my problem is space needed to start properly. I managed to get the heat press I am selling fixed with a simple £10 part so it just needs photographing and listing. But its not a good look being the center of Steptoes yard. Lol
