Letting go

We are part way through a slow kitchen refit, and are thinking about doing an extension elsewhere in the house a bit later in the year which will have the knock on effect of enlarging our utility area.
 
As a result, we've been holding on to all our "spare" kitchen bits, as we don't yet know what we aer going to need for the utility. 
 
They have all been residing in what we used to call our Summerhouse.  It's been a storage area since my Dad died and my brother and I were emptying my parents house.  Then came the kitchen.  And next..
 
A walk in larder popped up for sale.   I've let two other walk in larders go because we haven't decided what to do in the Utility.   This one, I really really wanted to get.  It matches the one we already have.  It's not expensive.  If we don't use it, we can re-sell it.

Except we don't have anywhere to store it (even flat packed).

So, we decided to empty out the 2/3rds of the summerhouse which currently houses kitchen bits so we could review them.   Our patio was full of kitchen.  It took some time to get the stuff out and sorted,  and then more time to photograph the bits we agreed we would let go.   A few items are  by the gate ready to go to the tip.

Then we packed everything back in the summerhouse, with those "let go" items stored at the front so we can get them out easily.

I created numerous posts on various groups and selling/freebie sites (not Ebay, yet).  Many items I've decided to give away,  as I want them gone more than I want to recoup any money.  

I'm picking the larder up next week on my way back from visiting my Mum,  so I hope some of them find new homes before then (otherwise they will have to go to the tip, which is a shame).
 
One set of superb quality doors has gone today, which is a start (but obviously it's more help if the units go!).

I need to clear out the other 1/3rd of the summerhouse now as it's full of the "non-kitchen" bits and  access to the freezer is now awkward.    I planned  todo it today but the forecast is rain, so that won't be happening.
