    I like your voice overs. You do a great job of summarizing and giving context and color to what you're doing and where you are in the process.

      ❤ this is my first time watching your video. I’m here from Midwest Magic cleaning who I’ve been watching him blow up over the last year and a half to two years.😅 and my first impression is your voice and the way you talk is amazing as mac said it was. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 sometimes the speed of talking can be flooding. I’ve seen cleaning with Barbie, turn it into a chipmunk thing, but I guess that’s only so many times you can do that is something that personally I lose quick interest over, but I love to hear talking in the background while I’m watching these and body doubling with RUclips.

    It’s called churning, by just moving things from one place to another & back again. You do feel like you’re not getting anywhere. The only thing you can do is keep working with your grandma & letting her know things need to be gotten rid of & tell her other people might enjoy receiving some of her “duplicate/triplicate” items if you were to donate them, If they’ve been in the garage or up in rooms she no longer accesses once you’ve “sorted things” she may see it differently. Great job on helping her out ❤🥰

    "A lot of that stuff CAN be used, but there's just so MUCH of it that NOTHING can be used." -- said by a 12 yr old boy about his grandmother's house, on a Hoarder's show.
    You got a lot done. You are a thoughtful and patient granddaughter, doing a huge amount of work! What endurance!
    I think, when you're all done, you should take all of Grandma's fake flowers, and pile them up around her. I can't imagine that she's aware of HOW MANY she actually owns. Cat blankets, too.
    I like your videos. I liked your little bits of peppy music. I like when you explain what you're doing, what's in the boxes, what Grandma's decluttering.
    The problem I often find on people's RUclips videos is when they have music snd talking at the same time. The music is often way too loud. Your's is good.

    You are motivating me to get rid of unnecessary things in my house. To not keep things that have no use for me and kids and grandkids are not interested in having. Garage sale is not an option as we are pretty remote and from past experiences all that work for a small amount of money. I am 75 and do not want to leave a lot of work for my kids when I am gone. You are doing an excellent job, and your grandmother is a hoot, and I know exactly how she feels about getting rid of her stuff. Thank you for being so patient and also opening my eyes to how much work is involved in decluttering a house and garage.

    • @dreamer6943
      @dreamer6943 Месяц назад +2

      I don't sell either, it's a weight off my shoulders to just donate/recycle/landfill and get it out of the house ASAP. I've sold in the past when I've been desperate for cash but now I'm not I've lost any heart for it.

    You have done wonders in the garage. A couple of unsolicited suggestions. 1. Move the garage sale stuff against in the corner where you put the pool chairs and cat table. 2. Clean up the attic and store bins that has stuff like the seasonal flowers, etc. (Labeled, of course) Really, take a look at the first videos you made of the garage. You have done a really good job.

    I love watching this because you keep tackling it all regardless of your disappointment in her decisions. I do hope the rest of your family is appreciating your efforts. You might rope off the yard sale stuff. I truly wish that grandma would understand there's no money in garage sales. Everyone wants something for nothing. She might get a couple hundred is all. Sad. Just let it go. I do love that she loves on and provides for the cats. Good job anyhow 👏 👍

    I am a granny. I love that you are going through these things for and with your grandma. I love that you are respectful, so that she feels safe in the process. I get a kick out of seeing which items she wants to save, which to sell, and which to donate. I think it is easy on my chair watching to know the "right" category; far easier than deciding on my own things. haha. What has worked for me is to work on my own until I have a group of items that I have questions about. Sometimes I need permission to toss something. Usually that's a project I don't want to complete because I don't need the item, or it is something someone in the family Should Want, or it's a pain to get to the right place. Then I call in the kids, either in person or with a picture. I really love giving away things to a good home so that is my top choice. But, if no one wants it, it becomes easier to "let it go". Practicing by watching videos like this helps. It also helps to limit the number of hard things in a specific time. I really hate waste and trash so sometimes just throwing away a stack of plastic is a victory. The next day I'm not damaged, haha, so I'm up for the next thing that seems hard.
    The yard sale items are basically in a "time out". They very well might end up being donated with a bit (or a lot) of patience. There were a few items that could legitimately be sold, if not donated to the right cause. The stool from the bank caught my eye. Maybe that could be a Marketplace listing with a bit of history. Selling a few items might be just the thing to realize the rest of the stuff basically can/should be donated.
    I'm not so sure I'd put anything in the attic. I have an attic and it's not too fun to unload it :)
    I should say also that my parents are living. My mother is a natural minimalist I think. If she isn't using something or has a plan to use it she donates or gives to family or sells it. She's pretty amazing. Their home won't be too difficult to work through. But I hope that's not any time soon! My kids are a mixed bag of minimalists and maximalists. I have a bunch of grandkids and the ones with more kids have more stuff, unsurprisingly. They are willing to say "no" to me (and I am willing to hear it) so they are aware of "Too Much". Having Stuff, and knowing about the consequences of Having Stuff, is really a complex set of life lessons. (I'd say "journey" but that's overused 😆)
    You're doing a stellar job, and it is helpful and enjoyable to watch.

    Ok unsolicited opinion. My 90+yo parents still live in their starter home from 1959. Out of sight out of mind attic was a chore recently, but so important to bring its contents down and purge. Less above their heads to either nag them or to forget about. Now when my mom mentions the attic, I can confidently say, no worries! It’s empty! I recommend you don’t bring anything up, just take everything down.

    Your voiceovers are great and I like how you leave the sped up chatter and cleaning sounds. This video was a nice balance of narration, inserted information, and convo with your gram. Definitely cover the sorted garage sale items and make them hard to get into by tying rope or duct tape around it so it isn’t easily accessible. How much does your grandma think she will make from her garage sale items & does she plan to immediately donate what doesn’t sell? I laughed when you were saying there is no room for all the stuff (your perspective)but I bet your grandma sees the entire garage as storage. She probably doesn’t feel a need to have it empty or it doesn’t bother her at all.

    Perhaps your grandma could part with the garage sale pile if you approached it as “her charitable donation”. I stopped reselling and now donate as my charitable donation for the year. When you consider the work and pitiable rewards of garage sales, it’s much more satisfying to give to charity.

      I wish people would realise that all their "treasures" they're saving (unused, in a box, cupboard, garage etc) is going straight into a skip when they pass away because grief doesn't allow for anything else (or the stuff ends up making the inheritor miserable - because they now have it hoarded in their own home because they feel guilt-tripped knowing the deceased didn't want to just dispose of it to landfill). It'd be so much better if people actually rehomed their stuff any-which-way to people who want it and will use it, whilst still alive. It's sad.

    Do you label? Is the rest of your family willing to follow the labels?

    I''d much rather here your voice over than canned music. I find most of the free library music grating.

    Those aluminum chairs are worth money. They can be restrapped

      But will anyone take the time and spend the money to actually restrap a $5 lawn chair? That’s how junk piles up. If it’s broken, it goes directly in the trash OR restrap it today. Otherwise ‘someday’ is never.
