Want To Improve A Home? Get Rid Of Superfluous Junk
Improving the home by getting rid of the junk that has built up around us like the shattered remains of a wooden ship that has gradually come to rest on the shoreline is more difficult than it seems. Truly, we have a tendency to accumulate stuff that never actually is used once we grow tired of it. As an example, consider the old wet dry vacuum which was once loved but which is now neglected.
After all, maybe being like NASA and the space shuttle -- where redundancy in the shuttle means having four other computers to back up the main computer -- works when it comes to these kinds of vacuums. After all, one can never tell when one is going to be confronted with a fully flooded basement that will need to be vacuumed out by two or more people, right?
In keeping with that line of thought, take a walk into the garage and eyeball all of the things that have been stacked up inside over time. Maybe we once had a garden -- or maybe we still have one but it's being worked on by gardeners -- and we loved the garden blowers that we got at the local home improvement store, though we haven't used these blowers for quite some time.
One day, they just may be needed when the gardeners go on strike for higher pay, perhaps. Or maybe it's because we (men, especially) just can't bear to part with the accumulation of stuff we gather throughout our lives. Maybe we're even willing to sacrifice a bit of cleanliness or non-cluttered space in order to keep around items that were never going to use, at least in this lifetime.
A great example of this is the fact that we might once have owned a really nice motorcycle but got rid of it long ago to fund the building of a brand-new nursery up on the second floor where the twins now happily spend their evenings. However, we neglected somehow to toss the full face helmet that came with the bike. It's now occupying a place over the mantle, gathering dust and slowly rotting.
One would have to ask, of course, why we would want to keep the helmet when we do not have a motorcycle to go along with it. Maybe it's our subtle way of convincing ourselves that we haven't totally gone domestic and that there's a possibility -- however slight -- that a honking new chrome-wheeled, fuel injected beast will soon be back in our driveway, rumbling and waiting to be ridden hard.
Hey, it could happen though the chances are still exceedingly slim. We love junk, which in our eyes is not junk but something valuable and that has a connection to our past. Improving the home by getting rid of the junk is at once exceedingly easy and extremely difficult, though. Keeping stuff like helmets, vacuums and blowers MIGHT be a connection to our past but it DEFINITELY is connecting us to junk.
