I'll do such consultations for free. But you've got to commit to the process and accept my decisions as binding. If you can't convince me of why you should keep an object (and I don't think I would be unfair/unsentimental) then
out it goes.

You've barely seen the surface of our clutter.

Alex, I like you a lot. But I know you well enough to know that my wife's head would explode if I cut you loose with her on this project.

HA! I'll see your storage unit and raise you another!

I just heard about a site to sell and recycle electronics. It's called SecondRotation. I posted about it in EggHead.

I really should declutter. I mean, why am I holding on to my movies on Betamax?

Pretty soon, you'll raise us by two. :p

Beta? Geesh. I have all our VHS tapes in a box, waiting to be either replaced on DVD, or captured and burned to DVD (in the case of self-recorded stuff). I know you can do that. ;)

And I thought it was bad that I still had all my movies on laser!

Laser? What's that?

:D :p

Hmm...I am tempted to join your bet. But, we did a big cleaning of the garage a couple of years ago. At that time we could barely walk through one small path. Now,if we move the work out equipment around, we can fit one small suv in there. :D

I like what you did about putting the cds in a binder. I, though, can't do it!! I love having it all together. I do have a book for my photo cds, though. I also put all of my cds on Itunes {crap, did I ever find that box???} and I got rid of all of my duplicate VHS/DVDs. {although for some reason I have two 'Snow Dogs'}.

I am trying to switch from VHS to DVD for my Disney collection. I am a bit pissed right now as my 'Mr. Toad' movie disappeared. So, yeah, while I love to have my things around to enjoy {and you are so right, if I have them out they need to be dusted and look good, not just 'out'} I am going to put them in a less accessible place for 'borrowing'.

This is wonderful for the cleaner and the ones who are lucky to get the no longer wanted items.

And, nope, I don't want anyone to help me. Eventually I'll get it done.
