The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is over. Ate too much, bought too much etc.
It was a bust for progress on the house and yard.
I am now rebooting myself on the whole project.
Started out yesterday by blowing and raking up a bunch of leaves. Filled
two of the 96 gallon curbside dumpsters. More leaves to pick up today.
Then some more outside work to do until it starts to rain, sleet or snow.
At that point, inside work awaits me.

This morning I tore into the 4x12 shed across from the long shed. I think it's #4 on the plan. It was a jumble of misc. stuff just crammed in. Pulled enough stuff out to sort things. Found a bunch of automotive stuff that goes in Shed #1, the automotive work shed. Sorting and moving things where they go. Found a box of leather that Julie can use for her jewelry work. Taking a break, Temps outside aren't too bad. Got to finish sorting and moving things and putting them away organized and buttoning it up before rain and snow this evening.
It will be one more shed roughly sorted and organized. The secret is not to get stuck on the details. Broad brush strokes is what are needed in this initial phase. Detail work later.
3 dumpsters full of leaves are ready for trash day tomorrow. Perhaps I can add to that.

Well, that went faster than I expected. I didn't sort too deeply. Mostly rearranged, consolidated, tossed trash and took out automotive things to put in the automotive shed. Now everything is more accessible. Buttoned up the shed and all is well.
Think I'll go back out and see if I can do some tweaking in the yard.

Been a while since I updated this. I won't bore myself or you with all the details. It's water under the bridge and I don't have time to document it. No time for photos either.
