I try to do the whole house in spring, and in fall do the storeroom, kitchen, and back entry again - seems to always collect things we just don't need to keep - more of a sort and throw/giveaway type cleaning in fall.
I just finished teh storeroom while my better half was away on a farm tour - great time to get it ALL out of there, and If I don't finish, so be it - can finish the next day -and did I throw out stuff- burned 4 boxes of junk - it had not surfaced since last year - no sense in keeping it - and he had to agree, it looked much better - even floor space now to walk into the room.
