I Could Never be a Hoarder

I’m one of those people who likes to get rid of stuff.  I think everything should have a “home” and be put away when not in use.  I’m trying to teach the boys the importance of this so that they don’t turn into hoarders one day.

I mentioned the other day that our tenant on the 3rd floor will be moving out the first of November.  I’ve only been in his apartment once and it was before we bought the venue.  I’ve had to go up to the door a couple of times but I NEVER go in.

He is a HOARDER and being in his apartment makes my skin crawl.

Well, we have someone who is really interested in moving into his apartment when he is out and even though I warned her (double & triple warned her) she wanted to see the space.

So we did.

The sad thing is that this apartment has so much potential!!!  I can’t wait till it is empty and we get it all cleaned up.

I think that the girl I showed the place to really liked it (minus all the JUNK!!!).  It has incredible windows, window seats,  uniques ceilings and room shapes – a lot of character.

Do you know a hoarder?
Do the pictures above make you cringe?  

Happy Friday!!
