These photos are the beginning and end of a project we worked on in Columbia county. We are very proud of this one and it connects to the client whose Google review says "WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO CALL SHEILAH MORE." (Who doesn`t love hearing that?)
First there were nearly 5,000 books. Then there were none. Actually, then there were 500 (which were packed for their move across the country.)
We can gratefully say that most of the books went with an entity that will treat them with respect, as this was decades of work by an academic, and it was clear, he loved those books, publications, and papers as much as he loved his family. Apparently, there is no such thing as too many books. Who knew?
Seemed to us that the only thing he loved more than both, were his dogs.
We enjoyed them and all, even during the stressful times of a job that started in February, and moved all the way through to junk haul, cleaning, staging, listing and selling. We worked closely with the realtor after the house was clean. She tells us that the sale will go to closing soon.

Sometimes, we will tell clients that their adult children, who are storing things in their basement, should either be paying storage fees or should come get their treasures.
Of course, during these miserably cruel and hard times, where people are struggling in multiple ways, including financially, we always ask if the adult children are gainfully employed and thriving.
If the answer is "yes, my daughter is a named partner in a law firm" or something like that, then yeah, 20 years of storage, at approx $200/month, is a lot of free storage rent (nearly $50k, give or take).

This family relocated to Columbia County from Colorado and found us to help them settle in.
Team Call Sheilah! dove right in.
We unpacked 30 dish barrel boxes, 7 wardrobe boxes, 40 art boxes, 12 crated pieces of art, multiple book boxes, and other assorted sizes.
Then we hauled off ALL of the boxes and packing debris - 4 vans full!
Next week, we are assembling metro shelving and removing the remaining packing detritus.
And then we just wait for the house warming party!

Last week, I posted about the slime collection, and the Queerness of it all. (Yes, this slime collection was Queer). But someone also commented about #GenerationalClutter. I`ve been pondering that. Here is installment #2 of that. This, like the slime, was a first and also #QueerAF.

No branding needed!
We love seeing these notes.
Even if this lovely woman spelled my name wrong, the placement of the note, in the middle of her desk above the lap top and monitor was an indicator, and she confirmed, that we were an integral part of the process.
(We had already packed the red pens or I would have made the edit.) 🖊
