I have tons of books that I've read at least once. I don't want to get rid of them, though, because once I'm old I'll enjoy them for the first time again! :)

Besides books, I have old hotwheel cars in a box in the closet... But they have names and individual personalities and everything... How do you part with a box of old friends? :D

I don't use my kitchen sink nearly as much as I should. Hence, the dishes all across my counter and stovetop.

Also, I almost never use my toaster.

I have some books in my closet that I reference once in a while. Haven’t decided yet if I’m going to get rid of them or get a bookshelf. We play games and cards at least once a month, but some of the games we hardly ever play. And that’s about it. Everything else we have either used within the last year or gotten rid of.

I hate clutter and think space should be for living, not for storing things. A couple I knew had their basement full of boxes of things to the ceiling for over thirty years. Then the basement flooded badly. There grew black mold, and their house was condemned, and they had to throw out all those things. What a waste. If I had a basement there would be a hangout, a laundry room, and lots of floor space to rollerblade on lol.

If I had a basement (most buildings in FL don't have basements, we're at sea level) I would turn it into an apartment and then rent it out as another stream of income.

If you're undecided on the books, onefaith, you should consider seeing if electronic copies are available through your local library website....then you can sell the physical copies and check out the e versions whenever you want.

I've always been confused by that feature in homes like yours. Is the water level really that close to the surface of the ground? Like, if you try to do gardening and dig into the dirt, is the soil always wet? It seems like a basement might be nice to have if a hurricane blows your walls down, but I guess you'd drown...
