My mom basically brokered an agreement for me to buy the entire contents of Pam’s mom’s house for $2,000, on the condition that I clear it completely out between a Friday and the following Monday. The house was not filthy, just very cluttered, so between me, my husband, and kids, and a couple of friends, we got the job done. The rest we either moved straight into our house, or stored in our barn to sort through, clean, and sell later.

That’s not even counting the beautiful handmade wood furniture that I’ve replaced most of our IKEA and Wayfair crap with.
