More Third Floor Mayhem

Becky and I have both been spending a lot of time on the third floor clearing out "stuff". She from her studio and me from the music room. I've been carrying a lot of trash bags down from the third floor and also lots of recycle material. An example here in this photo is a bag of cassette tape cases that I'll recycle along with the paper inserts. The tapes themselves went into a trash bag.

Our recycle bin has been completely filled every week over the past month. Trash container too along with at least two trash bags each week.

Cleaning out the third floor is actually two projects. We are downsizing and getting rid of piles of paperwork that has filled two filing cabinets. There were tons of paperwork from my years working in libraries. There's lots of Navy stuff that needs to go away.

Becky is also clearing out her studio on Hertel Avenue and the studio space up on our third floor. Much of the artwork from both spaces, hers, her mother's and her father's, will go into a storage unit. A lot has been thrown away and so much paperwork along with it. Our entire third floor will be dedicated to Becky's art studio except for an area where we will have vinyl albums and CDs stored at least for a little while longer.
