Clutter Busting Challenge May 2019

I'm purging 37 items this month. Our swing that had broke so we took it apart for scrappers to haul off. A few wood pieces that I had planned to paint and sell but have decide I don't want to do anymore. They got taken to our community dumpster that they have for this week for Community Clean-up week. We had stuff in the barn that has been picked up along the road to resell but have decide not to do that. I sat everything along the road and most of it was gone within a couple hours. The remainder I dropped off a the thrift store.
