Another supremely good find today in this exceptionally challenging iteration of reality.

Thanks @gosimplified. Right on.

If I had the inclination to make videos and commentary, this would be one of the exact things I would say. This is 100% accurate in my humble opinion.

Call Sheilah! has been helping people purge and let go for almost a decade.

We and @gosimplified know some things.

Last week, I had the honor of touring the site for @evergreenmeadowacademy. Over 30 acres of land for structures and grounds, which will become a place for therapeutic interventions for middle-school girls with trauma backgrounds.

We are talking about classrooms, dorm rooms, academic/ therapy buildings, outdoor trails, physical and mental health wellness areas, kitchen gardens, animal assisted therapy and much more. The entire campus will feature cottages dedicated to mental health, administration as well as arts and movement.

Team Call Sheilah!, with the help of our generous clients, has been supporting this effort since the beginning with all kinds of resources. In addition to fundraising dollars, we`ve provided outdoor furniture, housewares, kitchen stuff, school supplies, baby supplies, laundry supplies and more.

The fundraising dollars support the mission and the goods support the families who are participating in EGMA programming (already in operation before the physical space is complete).

Check them out and reach out to Call Sheilah! if you want more information about how to support this endeavor. In September there is a volunteer day at the new site so watch this space or @evergreenmeadowacademy to learn more.

We had fun in this basement...a continuation of the unpacking gig in Columbia County last month.

The job was to set up shelving, so that we could "unpack" everything that was still in boxes, and relocate/repack them into plastic bins. Great idea because of the humidity in the basement. Those boxes would get moldy and smelly in no time and turn everything into a future nightmare.

So, we assembled shelving, repacked items into bins, labeled the bins, labeled the shelving and cleaned up the basement.

The shelves were designated as: Christmas, Kitchen, Memories, Grandchildren, Crafts/Sewing and not featured, the flower arranging room as the client is a master gardener. She also had the basement professionally cleaned prior, but as we all know, basements like this -- part of it still the original foundation from the early 1800`s -- will continue to provide dust and humidity til the end of time or remodel, whichever comes first.

We appreciated how smart the client was in thinking things through, and also appreciated that she bought lunch and cookies.

This past weekend we helped unpack a family, who just relocated from California.

We were shocked about how their professional packers actually packed these people. There was so much waste of paper; of bubble wrap and wasted space inside boxes. They wasted so much of this family`s resources. With a bit more care and thought, the waste would have been minimized.

But more infuriatingly, they didn`t use packing supplies, where they should have.

In this collage, photo number one, is our favorite packing tool: shrink wrap. We use it to wrap odd shaped items, furniture, small bureaus to hold drawers closed and a myriad of other uses. Yes, we often go overboard because it is weirdly satisfying (photo 4 is a wrapped spice tray...seriously well wrapped).

We also use it when packing entire "junk" drawers. If we had packed this job, the stuff in photos 2 and 3 would have been shrink wrapped. We also wrap silverware in their silverware container/tray, spices in their spice rack (Photo 4) so that things can just get dropped into their new drawer or space, without too much hassle.

These packers didn`t wrap any of the small items. They didn`t use paper. They didn`t use shrink wrap. They just tossed it all into boxes. Not good.

That was surely an unnecessary blunder. We ended up having to scrape the bottom of boxes for all of the small things found in "junk drawers" and office supply containers.

If your professional packers do not have a roll of shrink wrap as part of their professional packer tool kit, ask them to get some. It will make the unpack just that much simpler.
