Cleaning all the clutter out of the utility room to make room for maneuvering the dryer and washing machine, getting the new washing machine and putting the dryer back on top of the washer, it is so neat and looks so nice now. Only problem is all that stuff got moved to the kitchen floor. All that clutter is good stuff that I don't want to put in any of the out buildings I have because of rats. Rats have left behind their calling card, rat turds, they poop all over everything, even if they don't chew it up, they still have to crap all over it and there is no guessing what they will chew to bits and what they wont. Then there's the dust and dirt, Everything in the 2 out buildings is coated is dust and dirt.

I'm looking at this stuff trying to figure out a way to organize it and I just don't know. Maybe a shelving unit.

On a bright note, I got a new Dewalt battery drill, impact and circle saw. My old ones are 16 or 17 years old and I have just worn them out. I haven't even thrown away the boxes yet, I keep admiring them.

A lady I follow on FB uses this little phrase when trying to figure out how to organize stuff.
Example.. what to do with a baseball glove, running shoes, basketball & rollerblades:
Put it with its family (sports equipment all together)
Put it with its coworkers (outdoor stuff all together)
Put it with its cousins (hobby stuff all together)

Stuff still packed from my move, from my parents cleanout a couple years ago and brought from NH, and more from my grandmother's house before that... and no one to leave it all to...

This is on my radar, I have begun. I get sidetracked, go do something else,

You are not alone, I call it the "Shiny Object Syndrome"
Merry Christmas

Today my sidetracked shiny object was THISTLES! They are growing, I could spray them now or fight them when they are 5 feet high and have 20 bloom heads on them. I chose today. I mixed Grazon in a 2 gallon pump up sprayer and zig-zagged across 2 fields spot spraying thistles. I’m tired.

What was that about tearing down a building?

I used those lovely days, working outside all I could. I built 5 lambing jugs and they are now all full. I have 18 lambs so far and more coming. The wind blew so hard last night, it is cold, will get down to 32, for 2 nights, then go back up in the 30's and 40's at night. I have a bottle baby, she has had her bottle and is nestled down next to me in my recliner.
