We are back to my 21 day declutter challenge…. about time you will say.. and I do agree π Every time I have found a bit of energy the last week or so, I have gone on very tiny declutter sprees around the house. As usual I have been piling the stuff in my guestroom, to be arranged and photoed at some future date.
Well today is as good a day as any, it’s time to get on with it!
DAY 13 – Outdoor storage room attached to house.. (not a garage because I don’t have one)
Since I don’t have a garage, everything goes into my tiny storage room. It’s the place I store my car tires, paint, bike, roller-blades, garden tools, plant tools, some outdoor furniture, all my electrical and hand tools and all the other nuts and bolts you need when you have a home and are essentially a “guy” when it comes to tools π
And like any other “garage”, my storage/shed gets full.. and I have to clear a little out, so I at least can get into the space without tripping over buckets (which I do a lot) π
Here’s the dirt on whats leaving this time!
2 tanks – for my old Β gas grill that I don’t have anymore – I gave these to a friend – sorry no picture
1 kitchen cabinet door (cut into three pieces – recycle plant swap house wouldn’t take it, and it only fit the bins in pieces)
2 foam boxes
1 battery drill (more or less broken, thankfully I have more π )
10 tins of paint and paint related items
1 empty fertilizer bucket
8 pieces of steel from my old kitchen counter edge
= 25 Β items
I have never been one to spend a lot of time in the bathroom, as I’m pretty much a no frills person regarding products I use. The last couple of years I mostly blend my own oils, use makeup only once or twice a year, and don’t use much in the name of soaps, shampoos and conditioners.Β I’ve been downsizing my bathroom stuff quite a bit, but still there are things that linger (for some reason or another)…
28 items of stuff – not pictured
4 bottles with various lotions
1 Β small perfume bottle
2 tins of lip and hair balm
1 box of pure moist contact lens solution
1 lip balm
1 nail clipper
1 tube cleanser
1 tube moisturizer
1 box of makeup
3 random items
= 44 items
So here we re again with the kitchen!Β I don’t know what it is about kitchens, but items seem to accumulate, regardless of how often you declutter the space. I have no number for how many times I’ve gone through this place, and there are still more stuff that pops out of the woodwork! Strange that, lol
3 bottles
5 glass containers
1 knife
2 prayΒ ops… spray bottles
Random stuff – count as 5
= 16 items
I think this concludes today’s post!
I’m trying to keep it short and sweet, and hopefully I’ll get the 21 days over and done with within the week π
But first before I go… gotta do the yearly tally!
Day 13, 14 and 15 = 85 items, which brings my grand total for 2017 to 792
πΒ
Good job!!! When I read “2 pray bottles’ . . . I thought ???. Then I looked at the photo and figured out they’re for spraying, not praying. π

Well done!
I’m really curious as to why the kitchen door was cut into 3 pieces?

Did I forget to mention it was a kitchen cabinet door, a kitchen cabinet door to a cabinet that no longer exist, a kitchen cabinet door that don’t fit any of the family’s kitchens. A kitchen cabinet door that was cut in three to make sure I could fit it into our trash bins, as the recycle plants Used goods/Exchange house (byttebu) did not want to take it for others to reuse π
I guess I forgot to mention that little detail, my only excuse, it was really late and I was obviously half asleep at the keyboard, LOL

A little here, a little there… my last couple of weeks have been a little better.. with a day or two here and there where I’m not feeling to bad.. so things are looking up π I’ve even been out and about, helping friends with small handyman “projects” like hanging lamps, installing bunk-beds for kids, oh and not to forget that I have been out in my yard a couple of times (in between the rain… a lot of rain) cleaning it up some.. so yeah.. things are looking up π
