We continue to work in the basement cleaning stuff out. It is amazing how much stuff a basement holds! As we free up space, we bring down items from the other two floors (although, honestly, not that much has come down).
If you saw the basement tour, you saw what the gym looked like before. And here is it after pictures. Much of the stuff has sold, I fixed the ceiling, did some painting, and rearranged the floor mats.
I went back through books I had previously purged and found another bag full to donate. We went through my shop and pulled out two or three garbage bags of stuff. Our garbage collectors limit how much garbage they'll take each week, so, we have to stage it to make sure we don't go over the allowable amount.
My youngest son is in school to be a carpenter. He and I returned to the basement office and did some much needed work on that DIY project. We framed in the basement window, completed the shelfing backboards, and drywalled a portion of the ceiling that didn't get completed when the room was originally constructed.
Marketplace has been busy, slowly chipping away at the pile of stuff we have to sell. We are hoping for a huge yard sale in the spring to get rid of a lot of stuff that won't sell on Marketplace. In the end I believe we will be lining the street with tons of free stuff and trash.
While this is happening, I'm thinking about my Florida Job. I work from home and my job is going to keep the bills paid through November 2021. I would like to find my next job in July. In preparation, I have completed two Scrum certifications and an ITIL certification. I just started a cloud security certification. The training for the cloud certification is not difficult, but it is time consuming (there are many labs) and will probably take 120 hours of technical training. That will eat into my purging time, but, it is all about finding a balance.
