The husband completed his work on the far left corner of the crap filled dungeon cellar and has now shifted to the far right.
.
.
The ceiling was up…
.
.
And painted…
.
.
And insulation folded into place.
I had to laugh because it was at this point he said, “Looks a lot different without all the stuff here huh?” And yes, technically he’s right … it did look different. But I’d be a lot more thrilled if the stuff migrated out of the cellar and to the dump instead of just shifting over to the newly completed section.

What’s the point in having a nicely cleaned, insulated, ceiling’d cellar if you can’t actually see it?

River's world..... 
I think if you “shifted” once piece a week to the dump he’d never notice. Then again, that would take 108 years… 🙂

In the last photo? Just a precariously balanced box covered with a towel. I have no idea what’s in it.

Hanging plywood on a ceiling by yourself is no mean feat. I’m impressed.

Well, if the goal was to make things look different mission accomplished. Maybe this will lead to some of the things no longer being a thing down the road. Time will tell…

Love the exposed spiral ductwork. Having just written articles about ductwork for a metal fab company not long ago, I’m kind of obsessed over it.
God, I have a weird job…

Do you know the Marie Kondo method? You take everything OUT of the area and reassess if you want it; does it spark joy?
Let’s hope nothing sparks joy for him, and some (most) items depart your property.

Thats what I wanted him to do… go through it as he was shifting. So of course that didn’t happen.

I have an idea! Get him to catalogue all the stuff. This will help him to clarify its relevance. Of course it’s unlikely he’d do it, but you could make a bargain, i.e. he gets rid of 20 pieces and he can buy one pricey item?
Column 1 – what is it / description.
–
Column 2 – what is its purpose (is it of practical use? is it to sell? is it historically collectible/important? If so, who would be interested in it? Finding that out would be a hobby for him and maybe a road trip for you both). If it goes in an exhibition, maybe the info would say “donated by Mr Crapcollector Extraordinaire”
–
Column 3 – Is it in working order? What needs doing?
–
Column 4 – date last used. Of course this won’t get filled out. If it hasn’t been touched in a year – you know what to do.

Nothing is sentimental. Just years of yard sale purchases and collecting.

Ah okay. Some collections can be valuable though so make sure you know what you are getting rid of 🙂 I am sure most isn’t worth much though judging by your comments …
