D-mail me if you are interested in starting Saturday, August 11th to work on your home.

We are redoing a room upstairs so our house is a jumble, so I thought I'd take this opportuninity to toss, giveaway and maybe do a tag sale in the future ( hubby bought a pricing gun)-hey,it could happen. He's only been talking about it for years.

I think it would be fun to see other's before and afters.

These things have helped me in the past. I saw this on the Oprah show. S.P.A.C.E. which stands for sort, purge (get rid of), assign an area or location to the item, containerize (where or how the item is stored) and equalize -she had this mean put it back where it belongs and every so often go through and tidy up (more or less).

The thing that was brought up on this show that really helped me was concentrate on one area till it is done. It's too easy to try to go and put something away in another area and get sidetracked with junk in that area.

Hi Deb - Try reading the thread that is named "10 minutes,"right above or below this post. There is a group of us there who are encouraging each other with projects. I started on a spare bedroom on Monday and was able to do the major part of getting it in shape for a visitor who is coming in next week and will need a place to sleep.

I had surgery on Wednesday and haven't been back in to do much more, but am still posting and encouraging others to work on their projects. If no one else answers here and you are so inclined, come on over there and see if that group might have what yu want.

I wish you luck in all your endeavors.
