Before and After Pics of the Path to the Furnace



No idea how we did it but the path to the furnace is now at least 2′ across all the way to the furnace. When we started, you could only walk down the path sideways. Things were stacked up as tall as we are and you practically had to go sideways. It was like going through a tunnel.

Every time you took a step, it felt like something was grabbing your arm.

On the left-hand side, right at the bottom of the stairs, things were piled up in the most awkward way. If I tried to grab anything from the top, it would cause an avalanche. When I grabbed things from the bottom, there were more avalanches. All of this had to go outside so I could work it down slowly. It was about 20 trips up and down the stairs. That was just with stuff from that 2′ space there.

Once that area was done, I walked down the aisle slowly removing anything that was in the way. During the week, she worked on thinning the clothes out a little bit. I really mean a little bit. I told her at least 3 things per day so she picked out about 12 things which didn’t make much of a dent. But that’s progress and I was happy she was able to do that much.

Again, the after pics aren’t that spectacular since I had to keep bringing things back down that she decided she wanted to keep. Plus, I took the pic from the wrong end so it’s hard to tell if it’s much different.

I don’t know why I took the after pic from this end. It’s hard to see what the other end looks like now. Maybe I’ll be able to get a better one this weekend.

I took this pic about halfway through. That’s why there’s bags all over the place on the floor. It’s not the best pic but at least you can see those mounds lowered a little bit.
