After meeting her somplace the first stop might be the laundromat. It might be fine but I would hesitate to bring it in my home unless it was newly cleaned.

Don't give up on Craigslist. I found a HUGE amount of fabric last week for $25.00. It is clean and the lady was a real sweetheart. The fabric was her mother's and nobody in her family sews, so she decided to finally part with it.

Oh, no, I couldn't meet her somewhere with the boxes. I have a big Ford pick up truck and all the boxes would not fit in my truck. There are too many. It would take several days to go through them. I said something to that effect about taking days and she said 'I'll provide the coffee'. I would not drink a cup of coffee there. I truly have not seen anything so nasty.

Very Sad, but it is a sickness......

Despite the reuse/recycle mantra so common today, there is a place for garbage. It's not giving it away piecemeal.

Anyone living in that situation, or inheriting it, needs to pay for haul away. If the city finds out it's being pieced out, the city will come after the person. Get it done quickly and move on.

Cold turkey is the way to go in just about every unhealthy situation.

I"m headed to Fort Worth in Feb.... I'm not phased by that sort of thing... I'd happily dive in!!! I used to work for a guy that his entire house was like that too...

Yep, everything seems to be a 'sickness' these days.
Used to be folks were just eccentric, strange or wierd but not 'sick'.
I'd get that fabric just as quick as I could if it was me. Just move it outside in the sunshine & pick out the good stuff.

Not only is it a mess. She never would say how she was going to sell it - by the yardage, by the lot, etc. I fear that she is going to want a lot more than I would want to pay. Before I ever went there, I talked to her on the phone and asked several times about a price and she didn't tell me.
To me, it would take more of an effort than it would be worth.

I would be afraid of bugs or rodents, not worth it, no matter how good of a bargin roaches are hard to get out of a house.

When did lazy become a sickness?
