The sky’s the limit or in our case, the loft is. Not exactly NASA standards but still high enough for a diddy person like me. Getting up the loft ladder is certainly one large step for mankind!
The space race is on to vacate our storage unit before 6 January 25 and whilst this date sounds miles out into the future, in reality it’s only 7 weeks away. That’s 7 whole weeks of trawling through dusty boxes, sorting the wheat from the chaff to donate, dump or dispose of anything not likely to be needed in our lifetimes.
Even after 3 years of slow distilling, there are still a surprising number of boxes left in the storage unit in spite of my ruthless culling. Like gremlins they seem to multiply if you feed them after midnight and who knows what goes on in these storage units in the wee hours.
Now that the loft has been re-boarded it certainly looks more spacious. I started this week sucking cobwebs from the rafters (a disgusting job) and brushing sawdust from the flooring in a bid to tidy things up before getting down to my latest project – creating a loft art gallery. |

The thing about downsizing is you lose wall space as well as surplus bedrooms resulting in an excess of pictures, posters and photos with nowhere to go. There’s only so many of these you can hang in the habitable parts of the house so the rest are destined for the two walls at each end of the loft.

| Hmm - can I do something with this wall? |

The perfect blank canvas for our collection of pictures, posters and photos with nowhere else to go.
