cleaning out the basement, parts 7, 8, and 9 of 487

.

I've been remiss in keeping you up to date on the basement clean out.

I don't have any pics.......

DH has been working away, and I have managed to get down there once and spend some time. It turns out that there has been some water on the floor in the northeast corner (plugged downspout, duh, sigh), and some of the stuff down there is just ... skin-crawlingly nasty. Moldy. I guess old dried-up moldy is better than fresh wet moldy, but still. Gag. Where is my hazmat suit, anyway????? [shudder]

A week ago last Friday some of DH's colleagues at work needed Christmas decorations. There was a decorating contest..... The guy DH works for was out of town for two weeks, and the people who work with him decided he *would* win, in absentia............

The Kiwanis, in addition to the regular Saturday sales, has a big blow-out in the beginning of December.

You know I had bags of stuff I was never going to use................ Four paper grocery bags worth went off to participate in the contest. (The results of which were stunning, including flashing lights outlining every surface, a full-size tree with all the trimmings, and a radio tuned to 24-hours-a-day Christmas music..... Oh and I forgot the 7' inflatable Santa........)

On Wednesday DH took a load of cardboard, etc, to the not-dump.

Yesterday he took a load of stuff to the Kiwanis.

Progress is being made........
