the_rckThe bar is finally gone. Matt and Jeannette came over this evening and took the stupid thing away. This breaks the logjam that's been holding up our plans for the spare bedroom. I think the next step will be to throw out some more of the junk that's in the basement. After that, we'll start moving things down there, sorting the keep/don't keep as we go. The main things going down there will be the bookshelves (and books!) from the living room and the bed from the spare room.
I spent part of this afternoon making a list of the junk that absolutely must go. It was longer than I expected and, I think, than Scott expected. A lot of the items are small-- The toaster, the kerosene lamp, the old kettle, that sort of thing. Others... Well, we have an old fridge and a dead exercycle on the back porch and a huge (about 8 foot) metal bookshelf in the spare bedroom (It's not dreadfully stable, so we don't want it in the house with a little one around). Apparently the recycle/reuse center will do pick ups, so that's probably the route we'll go for most of the stuff.
We're also looking at getting rid of about 7-8 bags of books. I'm debating trying to sell at least some of them, but it may be too much trouble. We'd have to spread them over at least three destinations-- Aunt Agatha's for the mysteries (for store credit only), Dawn Treader for the fantasy, SF and kids' books, and still a donation somewhere for the romances (Dawn Treader won't touch them. The owner's always felt that they weren't worthy of shelf space).
