Invoke the 1 year rule on the "various other misc stuff", ie you
haven't needed it for a year you don't need it send to dump or
charity shop.

Tools, fixings, parts etc are of course excepted from the 1 year
rule. B-)

I don't think that would have worked when it took me 2 years between
gutting and then reinstating the kitchen. Some of my "misc stuff" may
have been removed and disposed of had I tried it.

Ditto our guest bathroom, which took me about the same, start to finish.


That's why I added:

"Tools, fixings, parts etc are of course excepted from the 1 year

So anything reuired for a job "in progress" is safe.

i get your drift and it makes sence. everyone in the houses stuff has a home, all my stuff got
thrown in the cupboard until i got shelves sorted out to arrange it sensibibly. atm i have to delve
in to retrieve something so i can use it. its the only safe place from my children.
