Seriously, we're cleaning out about 45 years of junk. My hard part is getting my husband to part with things. He wants to give all this stuff to our kids and friends (who don't want most of it) and that slows down the clean up while you wait to hear their answer.
I basically started going through each closet and storage space in the house. We've been filling up our recycle bin like mad and even using the neighbors.
