Another weekend of decluttering. It took 4 trips to the tip to take some old wooden double glazed windows. There were dozens of them. We knew about two piles, but we found 2 more as we cleared the kitchen.
These are just a fraction of the windows that we took
We also took all the undonateable/unsellable/broken bits from the room my Dad used as his workshop, which was actually meant to be the new kitchen.
While my DB did the final sweep up, I went upstairs and emptied a load more stuff from one of the bedrooms, mostly stuff that had gone mouldy or had been partially eaten by mice.
I found a large box of yet more papers. These were from 1984 to 1990, and were from when my parnts were starting up on the smallholding. Unlike the other filing, these were all neatly organised. Each year was in an envelope, and each month was staoled together within that. I think it was because Mum was registered for VAT at that time, so careful filing was a must.
I took them home to scan, and these were much more enjoyable to do, because they were relatively well organised. As well as bills, there were some good stuff for memoraabilia scanning. There were many many many receipts for stuff relating to the building of the house, and I've kept as many of those as I sensibly can, just in case the new owners are interested.
Overall it was about 3000 sheets scanned from that batch.
I've got to destroy the originals now, plus the many many sheets of things that I didn't scan at all.
And I've got to organise the scans now, lol
