Was there an intervention by the Hoarders TV show people?
Did the health department show up and threaten?

My level of hoarding is such that I can keep a cleared space between my keyboard and my beer belly.

I have a sign in front of my house right now that says "free pots".
This week I have got rid of a couple hundred pounds of big flower pots.
At that weekly rate, I will never get rid of all this junk in my lifetime.
