I will be moving probably around late September. Moving to my Grandmother's house which she lived in for around 40 years. It has been about 6 months of organizing her stuff for a big sale of the antiques. This woman grew up during the great depression and witnessed her mother going without food so the kids could eat and that affected her mentally and made her a hoarder. She could not force herself to throw anything away, even ketchup packets from a fast food place and plastic bags from the grocery store. We found drawers slam full of those plastic bags folded neatly and stacked in the drawers. There was food in the freezers from 1974.The Attic, WOW what a disaster. I think we pulled over 1000 empty canning jars out of the attic, most of them in cardboard boxes that were so old and deteriorated from the heat that they just fell apart in your hands.
Once I move in here, My collection will have it's own room that is attached to the house but is kind of it's own building meaning you have to go out onto the back patio to access the door to this room. I just dumped around $900 to an electrician yesterday to wire in more quad outlets into that room all on their own circuits. He also wired a new Mitsubishi mini split solely for that room. The Mini split was another $1800. Another $100 to a friend of mine that works in heating and air to come by and do the refrigerant lines tonight and the room will finally be ready. This dang hobby is costing me big time. These snakes better appreciate all of this LOL.
Anyone else been through things like this moving and preparing a space for your animals or did you just move them into a spare bedroom and gradually upgrade their accomodations?
