Storage unit clean up

 Tuesday 16 April 2024

    Time to start the dreaded storage unit clean out /resorting. As soon as breakfast was over I headed to the storage unit.  It didn't take too long to fill the truck up with things to sell, things to throw out and a few things to go back in the Moho. Diane rolled her eyes as I started unloading the truck🙄.  She was happy with the items to sell, 2 chairs, fire pit, roll up camping table and some over the fire cooking baskets. I carried the other items into the Moho. She says put them anywhere out of the way, right! And besides all that, she still managed to make keto broccoli salad and chicken for dinner.

   A few more phone calls about the insurance/repair of the Moho.  But most of the day was answering all the question from FB marketplace after Diane posted the items for sale.  We must have fielded 75 inquires over 8-hour period.  We wanted $15 for the chairs and two different people wanted to know if we would deliver to Carlisle and Lancaster😖. You got to be kidding!! Some scammers, they are out of the country but will send their friends over and pay us later. 😡 Every stupid question you could think of.  Finally, about 5pm everything was sold, and Diane posted SOLD on FB.  The calls continued into the evening and a few the next morning. All that for $80.00 Next time we will just donate the stuff.

   Not much happening today.  I sorted a large box of paper for shredding. That included remove from folder, getting all the metal out, paper clips, staples and  metal fasteners. Not a difficult task but still took hours and hours. Paper included all my military stuff and occasionally I would find myself reading over what I was doing in 74 and 75  up through 93. I had it all done, cleaned up and put away by the time Diane got back from town.

   Diane spent the day with Lynne out running errands, but the trip also included a stop at Starbucks and wine tasting at the state store. I headed over to their house around 5pm with Rudy. After pizza and wine, we played a game Mexican train.  Rick won but he also was keeping score.  Just say'n.  We had a great time.  It was after 11pm until we returned to the Moho.  Poor Rudy was worn out from trying to hang with Cody.

   I know you are all tired of the storage unit stuff, but we were back at it this morning.  Diane and I went over right after breakfast.  We pulled a lot out of the unit, sorted and reshuffled boxes, some of the selves were sagging hard.  Loaded the truck up again with throw out, donate and repack stuff.  Done by lunch.  Diane went over to UPS store to have the shredding done but turns out it just sits there for about 2 weeks before they actually shred it.  Back to the Moho and I'd say Diane turned ten boxes/bags of stuff down to three while I went over to visit Bev.  By dinner time we were wore out. Burgers on the grill.

   Took the day off today. I went to the cemetery and a quick stop at the storage unit and made a few phone calls. Rebuilt the entrance steps.  Still a little shaky but better than they were. Mowed the grass
They feel a little
safer!!

again(third time). The site beside us has only mowed once and his site looks like crap.  They have four dogs they tie out with a ten foot leash, never clean up poop so it smells like crap also. Anyway much cooler today only in the 50's. Last week we were looking for the shade and now looking for the sunny spots.
    Diane and Lynne spent the day playing bingo in Biglerville.  They returned around 5pm.  Had a lot of fun but no winnings.  Even after a tough day at bingo she made us a meatloaf for dinner, yum.
