Inherited a hoarder house, just wanted to talk about it.
My mother was a hoarder. When she passed, I inherited the house.
It's been a slower process than I would have liked, but there has been a lot of progress. First thing we did was get rid of all of the piles of newspapers and everything out of the fridge and pantry. Then just picked it at the next few years, as I lived elsewhere and didn't have the time to come over as much as I wanted to.
Now that I've moved back in, we've made a lot more progress.
My goal for the last few days has been to clear off the old standup piano in the living room and check inside for mice. I was able to get that done today and there are no nests.
Still have a lot of work to do, but that one was pretty big for me.
