a house and a(nother) storage locker...

Not in that order obviously, but it is what it is...pic 1 is my newest (#2) 10' x 15' storage locker, (of 3 total, the 'big one is 10' x 30') which I have just a little less than 2 weeks to otherwise try to stuff full of any/everything I can still manage to (continue to) rescue from the house in pic 2, before it officially (and finally?!) becomes *somebody else's* responsibility. I called that fabulously fun old (ca.1885-1920's) place my home for nearly 20yrs before I got the one I live in now, sharing it with a dear (and now departed) friend, who bequeathed "any/everything I want from it" to me upon his passing now over 2yrs ago, though the property itself can't legally be included in that. He was also a "collector of fine things", accumulated by him and at least two estates worth of his final remaining family members when they passed, leaving absolutely no other of his actual relatives to give a sh*t about any of it...

Lots (but not all by any means) of the assorted crap I've shown here in those same couple of recent years has come from there. SO much more has also been rescued but not shown, because of the likely not particularly interesting aspects of those things (or just simply lack of time to take pics and write showings) and SO MUCH MORE still remains to be recovered from becoming general wholesale "dumpster fill"...ifn's I can manage to do it in the time remaining for me to do so...

WISH ME LUCK y'all...please...???

--------UPDATE, in case anybody is really following along...? ----------

New pic#1 just added showing the momentary results of the first several pickup loads of 'more stuff' now starting to fill it up, nowhere near properly full yet. I've been the recipient of numerous friends who've helped me to get it thusly right now, without the kindnesses of which there'd only be a few little piles of cardboard boxes in there instead. (or otherwise things I can move myself) The biggest of those generosities is what's actually a washer/dryer pair right in the middle -- also that whole row on the RH side of the heavy duty steel shelves that'll be invaluable to hold the many many more 'smalls' and boxfuls of thereof that'll end up filling them shortly. (those shelf units aren't that heavy themselves, but they definitely are 'clumsy' for one old man like me to wrestle from where they were to where they need to be now...) There are still more appliances, more heavy pieces of furniture, and for that matter many more shelving units and/or really nice actual wooden bookcases, most of those still full of their d*mned heavy books... <groan>

Oh, and then there was the (one of them there) refrigerator that is *not* seen in the storage here, being newly in my own kitchen instead, where it just *BARELY* (I would have bet against it) fit in its place beside the kitchen sink, replacing the one I had there already that rolled itself over and died somewhere abouts last June I think, while I've been getting by with a faithful little mini-fridge (the one with the St. Pauli Girl beer sign on its door) instead for lack of the ability to care enough to do much of anything about *that* situation...and where once more, without the help/generosity/muscle of volunteer friends who've stepped up -- it'd just be one more of the appliances I could hope to manage to rescue...

Sooner or later I'll either update this showing again (as this unit becomes stacked to its rafters) and/or be able to begin showing some of the individual cool crap that it's gonna end up getting filled up with...but time is quickly running out before I'll ultimately lose the ability to keep trying to remember/discover/rescue/haul away anything I want of whatever's still left down there somewhere...

Yeesus...I really **DO** need to get a flea market booth, or a cute little junk shop storefront, or *something* like that -- it ain't right (not to mention 'affordable'?!) to just keep piling everything up in $torage locker$ where nobody but me knows anything about it, not to mention can't (even me) actually *appreciate* all of it...?? <sigh><headdesk>
