Getting the temperature to stay up and the humidity to stay down took some doing. You betcha, there has been SOME decent progress on SOME stuff but ...
When I retired I brought home a truckload of personal stuff that had accumulated in my offices over 3-decades. When Dad passed away I brought home some of the stuff that my brothers didn't want; a year later when Mom passed away I brought home even more. Sorting through the minutia of it all will take the rest of my time on this earth.
No less than a ton of stuff (no exaggeration) has already been tossed; I max out the garbage and recycle containers every week and have much more to go. Lots of scrubbing and vacuuming going on down here.
Just getting the shelves up (15-units so far and still room for a couple more) and getting the essentials, treasures, and sundry crap off of the floor has been a slow but steady process.
To be honest, this project has been fun. The basement is evolving into a comfortable (albeit ever-primitive) man-cave and storm-bunker.
It is common knowledge that I've spent much of my lifetime being off of my rocker.
