Moving in is great

I spent the majority of today at my fraternity house where I’ll be living this year.  There is a ton of work to be done to clean the house and make it liveable.  For a start, twenty something bags of trash were hauled away this morning.  Since then, I alone have filled four more with random crap taken out of the kitchen.  I believe I threw away two blenders, a toaster, a traffic cone, rugs, cups, buckets, pitchers, a tree stand, silverware, and many other items, some of which were likely functional but simply made of too much mass to be worth keeping.  It is as if all residents for the past ten years brought their own sets of dishes and mini appliances and spices, with none of them trusting the reliability or expiration date of anything in the house.  I’m not saying I blame them, I would likely have done the same thing, but the situation has definitely spiraled out of control.  In addition to kitchen work, I trimmed the hedges out front and helped clean the inside of the bar.  All this and we haven’t even tackled the basement yet…
