Today is basement day. My intention is to have everything left in the basement sorted, packed, and in piles by the time I go to bed tonight. That will give me the rest of the week to take out garbage. I have the Volunteers of America coming on Thursday for the furniture I no longer want, and I need to get everything situated so they won't have any trouble taking it all.

I started at the top of the stairs, and I'm working my way around. It's slow work (I've been down there an hour already) but steady. I am not setting anything aside unless it goes upstairs. I'll have a couple boxes of miscellaneous stuff, but at least it will be marginally sorted.

I'll post updates later.
