There is this paper box that has a variety of miscellaneous things for the house. I have separate boxes for electrical, plumbing, painting, etc. But this big paper box has all sorts of things: plastic zip ties, tub caulking, steel wool, serious duct tape, curtain hooks, picture hanger wire, rolls of that rubber anti-skid stuff, bales of string, plant hooks, etc. etc. Quite the hodge podge...
So today I sat down and went through the box and was actually surprised at the things I was able to let go of. First off, the curtain hooks... haven't used them in years... and I can always get them cheap again at Value Village so... Also the plant hanger hooks. These are the ones that go in the ceiling and I had about 20 of them. I think I picked some up once at a free garage sale or something. Anyhow... I kept 6 or so and let the rest go. Some of the tub caulking tubes as well. They're probably dried out in there anyhow... and we have a bone coloured tub, so white tub caulking isn't going to work!
So, it's only one box but... it makes a difference. I now have about 4 boxes of stuff sitting downstairs that is destined to go out the door and that is 4 boxes worth less of stuff in the house. Every little bit helps!
