how did so much fit in such a small building
we're not even done, but
today, i hauled out all the filled garbage bags to the pickup point
Two 33 gallon contractor bags, seven smaller normal-ish sized, and a full sized outdoors garbage can
there's still broken/trashable shit left in that building
much less, but goddamn
Not full on holy-shit-call-a-psychologist-and-maybe-a-priest hoarding, really, but definitely what you see as a precursor to it. S'just... no, grandparent. If it's been sitting buried under something since '94, you're not actually going to use it for anything. This holds true for '04, too! And a lot of other years, 'cause most of this shit hadn't seen the light of day in the better chunk of a decade. Yes, it could conceivably be repaired/repurposed/whatever (well, probably not, because if you use parts that eroded whatever you do with them is just going to goddamn break), but you're not going to at this point. Please stop saying you will. Actually, saying you will isn't an option now because it's in the garbage and soon to be gone, but still! And yes, before someone asks, the conversation has been had with the actual people involved. Doesn't stick.
Worst part is there's still like four or five buildings, fortunately mostly smaller, in about the same state. Just... starting from the beginning. Taking the time, et al. Maybe conveniently forgetting the other ones exist for a year or three, I'unno.
