DON'T OPEN THAT CLOSET DOOR, MAGEE!

 No, this isn't a yard sale gone wrong...it's just part of what we took out of "Building X," as Jack calls our 10'x12' big ass plastic storage building. It's YEAR THREE of the "Downsizing Project" here at Angel Crest Manor. When we moved here 3 years ago, we also moved the storage building and most of the stuff stored in it. Since it was the dead of winter and snowing at the time of the move, we just threw stuff into it and said, "We'll get to that this summer after we're settled." Uh huh. So 3 years have gone by and it turned into "Fibber Magee's Closet." (ref an old time radio show called "Fibber Magee and Molly). Our storage "closet" was so full you couldn't even get inside as anything extra was transported from the house to Building X.
 We figured Memorial Day Weekend was the perfect time to attack this mess...
 It took us about 2 hours to empty it out on the lawn. Then it was sorting and reboxing the keepers. I spent $50 at Freddies buying plastic containers so Jack could get rid of all the little cardboard boxes of stuff and organize them into plastic. This is one of 5 storage racks (shown as it is being reorganized).  
Day 3 of this reorganizing extravaganza finds Jack now able to actually move stuff from his cramped shop out into this building for true storage. Also, a lot of it went to a Fiat enthusiast across town. I'm sure his wife is ecstatic about it...and we have a full trailer bound for the dumps, plus a pickup load of stuff for recycling. Time well spent
