Ah, my dad had serious hording issues, well we all have a bit of it, but he was the worst. And our house was, basically barely able to walk around and having to step over boxes ect. It wasn't like food and stuff, well ok, there was some of that cause I'm a horrible housekeeper, but also walls of boxes of books and stuff from when he taught, always talking about we could sell the stuff so we can't throw it out.
Then the flood happened May of 05, and we had 3ft of water in the house, so everything was ruined cause the water wicked up and the mold settled ect. And for like 2 weeks dad was determined me and him could clean out the house by ourselves, but there was just no way, he finally broke down and let the churches and volunteers help and it got knocked out in 2 days, but it was just the embarrassment of people seeing what the house looked like ect.
Moving in and living in the apartment has been a huge start over, though we do still have 2 garages full of stuff here that they rent these garages on the property, but it's a lot cheaper then storage units, so we are working through it all, and it's not crowding the house so it's much better.
