Thanks Ryan. I have everything back, from the temporary storage unit, and bedrooms, sunroom, side yard, in boxes that need to be sorted. I also have maximized my wall storage with various storage rack systems that take advantage of non standard size shelf racks to keep everything contained to a two foot wide perimeter to the inside of the garage. Stuff I never use like golf clubs will go into a rafter storage space.
My thoughts are that keeping every little thing because of a someday I might need it, had been borderline Hoarderish , so now giving away stuff that is really just clutter, recycling old chemicals, and making everything organized to where I don't spend half a day off tracking down a specialty tool, can of paint, or just scattered to the wind sockets etc!
