SORTitOutMJ

I'm so very thankful for the Lord's prompting and direction that has led me to three jobs that are incredibly fulfilling. Dog sitting, an eBay store, and home organization business is not what I ever expected- but exactly what I needed!

Began my first seasonal purge job today and so happy for the homeowner! She had a box of items for me to list on eBay, 3 bags of trash, and a trunk load of boxes to donate by the time we finished. We also organized a guest bedroom and I'll be returning to clean out another room for holiday guests, plus working on clearing out a lot from her attic. It's such a privilege to help people!

**I have several openings in the next 5 weeks if you find yourself in need of help decluttering before Christmas!

I’m still here!!! 😅

Last fall was CRAZY busy and I was consistently working 6 and occasionally 7 days a week. Once Christmas came I decided to take a very intentional, much needed break. It’s been refreshing and so wonderful!

But now I’m ready to hit the ground running! Do you want to tackle some sorting, purging, ready-for-spring projects?! I have openings available, just message me! Let’s get your home into a functioning, organized space!!

I recently shared a garage clean out with stunning before and after pictures. Today it's "the rest of the story"!

This homeowner already had a discard pile in the works on her back deck. We added to it the rest of the week (first two pics) and she shared a contact for a local company that hauls off junk. I'm thrilled to now offer this info to my customers along with the non-profit that will gladly pick up donations!

She had a number of things for me to list on eBay as well as some smaller donations. The other pics are what I brought back to my house and sorted between donate and sell. I took the donate to drop off and have the sellable items stored at my house ready to ship.

There are lots of moving parts in clearing the clutter in homes and it's such a joy to see drastic transformations and joy on homeowner faces! All these items were taking up valuable space that now is useful, functional, and brings calm to what was chaos. I love my job!

SORT IT OUT SATURDAY!!

My latest sort was a garage overhaul. This space had become a catch-all that simply got out of hand. The homeowner had an injury that required an unexpected long recovery and they were not physically able to tackle the project. After months of frustration looking at this area, she contacted me to help finish what she had planned to do herself last fall.

She already had a vision for the area and had ordered three sets of industrial shelving and had put together part of one set. I finished that build of 5 shelves, put together another tall unit and then we divided the last set into two smaller units to go along a specific wall. She had some empty bins and labels ready to go which made the organization part of the sort a breeze. As we sorted everything in the room, we discussed what categories would be stored in each area. At the end, a final shuffle grouped everything exactly where she wanted and we were careful to put the most used items at easy access points. Everything is clearly labeled so anything that is needed is easily found.

What a joy to see such a transformation and a homeowner who is breathing a sigh of relief and no longer frustrated!

This sort took 15 hours which included building the shelving units. We worked 4 days at 4 hours per day. In my experience, a 4 hour day is usually the limit for the homeowner mentally, physically, and emotionally. Decisions on what to keep, donate, trash, or sell are truly exhausting so I am sensitive to the need for a mental break during larger jobs.

**Next week I'll share what was removed and a special area that got new life.

Message me if I can help you gain control of areas of your home that have become unmanageable! Life's too short to live in constant frustration - and it's my passion to assist you in success. Estimates are always free!
