Clean Ups: I Was Not Looking Forward to Doing This!

Unlike so many today who seem to want to move every two or three years, my parents lived at the same place for over 50 years. Their old farmhouse and outbuildings on the property were crammed full of stuff (things they of course treasured and couldn't or wouldn't get rid of, which was at least partially caused, no doubt, by having gone through the Great Depression) for as long as I can remember. My husband and I were fortunate in that they did do some cleaning up of their place on their own before they moved to a smaller ranch-style home. However, my father and mother somehow had left a lot of the clean-up to the two of us (and whoever I could hire to help me out with the cleaning up). My husband was previously involved in oil tank removal so was used to hard work, so we were prepared for this job. When it was finally decided we had to clean up the property to get it ready for selling, I knew I had to get some help, so employed a couple of friends of ours who were great at cleaning. If it were not for their help, it's doubtful we could have taken care of such a monumental task just by ourselves.
