We're in the final days before the movers arrive to pack all our stuff and then tote it out to Washington state. Today we attacked the boxes in the attic, trying to throw out as much as possible, and consolidate non-trash into fewer boxes. We're also trying to sell or somehow get rid of a bunch of decent stuff which we no longer need, especially the heavier items. We're doing this because a large fraction of our shipping costs are based on the total weight of what we move, so we're motivated to sort through years worth of crap and eliminate as much as possible. If only we had another week or two, we'd be able to do a much better job. As it is, we'll likely be shipping at least a couple boxes worth of garbage all the way across country.
Oh, if you know any good places to help you get rid of unwanted household items (besides freecycle.org and wegetridofit.com, which we've already investigated), please let me know!
