Reminds me of the time when we were putting an addition on our house. Hubs is a great 'saver'. BIL and I were cleaning out the back porch as that was coming off the house. There were a host of things that he kept asking if I wanted to keep because 'somebody might be able to use this someday'. My answer to him quickly became 'then take it to YOUR house until SOMEBODY comes and gets it'! Old, used up, ratty items just have no place in my life. I will certainly repurpose any number of things but not everything.
