There is a common thread running through the estate belonging to an elderly parent or loved one. Living through the Dirty Thirties – the Great Depression – has taught them to hold on to everything.
This means then their attic, basement, or even barn, is usually full of “stuff”! Most of which should have been disposed of many years ago.
Sadly, even is there was value to some of these items when there were originally stored, by the time you start to sort through it, the mice and mildew have likely been there first! You may find rotted books, magazines, old papers including utility bills from decades ago, and clothing, but the only place for them now is the trash.
