Ambitious Project – Organizing, Decluttering & Staging – Step One
As promised in my last blog post, here are a few of the steps taken to get this project off the ground.
Upon arrival at my client’s site, we began reviewing each of the rooms and with various colour coded sticky paper in hand, we surveyed each and every space in the home to determine which items were destined to be removed from the home for donation, recycle or trash; which items were to be given to family members, and which items were going to be removed but stored in another location, off site. Once all the rooms were processed in this manner, we then made our way up to the attic. This is when my stomach began it’s acrobatic display of flipflops and twirls. Here are a couple of pictures taken to give you a sense of what we were dealing with.
There was very little space to even maneuver. The ceilings were high enough, however there were so many items stored, that there was very little space to walk. Furthermore, there were sections of the attic where safe footing was sparse, so we had to be very carefull where we stepped. Once in the attic, the same process of selecting which items were to go where was continued. And, as luck would have it, this first day of the project the temperature outside was about 27 degrees celcius which meant that the attic was at least 10 degrees hotter and very humid. 5 of the 8 hours of this first day were spent in the attic, moving items out and onto the lawn in a collection area. The last two hours of the day additional labour was brought in for the heavy lifting and continued evacuation of the attic. We made a huge dent that first day! Hot, sweaty, tired and exhausted, (and, if I’m being honest, still a little overwhelmed,) I reviewed our progress for the day, reviewed with my client the anticipated agenda for day 2 and left to go home to a good night’s sleep. My client was very happy with the progress made and I still hear his words clearly in my head when he said, repeatedly, “this is so much happiness for me”. It’s good to hear that I can provide a little happiness to my clients. I just love that.
