Replacing me is hard to do.

Work resumed in the crap filled dungeon cellar the other day and more ceiling panels were installed…. with one glaring difference.

I wasn’t assisting.

After the last bout of me trying (and failing) to hold a sheet a plywood in place over my head while the husband drilled …. replacement help was enlisted in the form of my husband’s cousin.

This is a completed section with ceiling, insulated walls and shelving. Not that you can see much of it through the solid mass of worthless crap treasure.

This is an uncompleted section, and if you look closely you can see the husband on a ladder surrounded by his ridiculous amount of junk treasures.

Funny part is his cousin turned out to be a pretty useless assistant. He was always in the way and actually dropped a piece of plywood on my husband’s head.

Even I never did that.

  2. Y’all have three lamps in the basement, one lawn chair that I can see and one useless cousin…🤣. I’d ask why he’s holding on to all that stuff, but I’m in the first stage of my Swedish Death Cleaning phase. And I’ve found stuff I didn’t even know I still had 🥴. Well the basement is beginning to look……like it has more light, lol.

      1. I once had a basement full of free bikes that I was going to fix and sell. When I moved 2000 miles I knew I couldn’t take ’em all or fix them all before I moved. I fixed one, took it with me, and gave it to a neighbor there. The rest I got rid of before moving.

        I’m not saying the only solution to your problem is moving 2000 miles, especially after that new floor…but I’m not saying you shouldn’t consider it.

      3. As did that pallet of worthless paper…it was stored in her ex’s basement and I didn’t even know it existed until she told me I had to take the truck there to pick it up before we moved. (Yeah, I got rid of bikes before my move 40 years ago. She saved papers for our move 10 years later…) I guess that plan only works if the owner of the crap is invested in the plan.

  4. We had a rat problem in our basement storage and now it is empty. A man’s treasures are so pleasant when they’re covered in rat droppings, etc. Not a solution to your problem that I would suggest however!!!

  5. Our neighbor had so many treasures! He built a new house, two states away, and filled one of those gigantic moving trucks TWICE. I could see how proud he was that he used some of it in the new build -namely, planks from a gymnasium floor he’d salvaged decades ago. I mean, who stores a gym floor for 20 years??
