It was a good day, not for any particular reason just a busy day that kept my hands busy and my head empty. The closer I get to that last load of “hoarder” rubbish finally going to the tip the more motivated I am to get it done. Even if that includes struggling to solo a big old fridge into the back of ute because I can’t wait a few weeks for help.

I could easily write a list of what needs to go now. A few people could do it all in one day, or I can do it by myself over a month. Three people can load a caravan roof onto a trailer in a few minutes, one person needs to spend hours cutting it into manageable chunks to even be able to move it. But now I know even if I have to do everything myself it can and will be done soon.

I should be clear I am only talking about the clear up the junk stage being done. The property is now almost at a stage where I can start to do the regular work like pruning, clearing paths and repairing things. Which is hard work but at least it’s a different type of work.

I might even get away with only wearing out one more pair of gloves on the clean up stage.
