THere was sooo much crap my sons and I were wheelbarrowing loads to the dumpster in the driveway. Said dumpster was emptied 6 times before we finished. SIL never threw anything away. We took out an untold number of bags of TV guides from 1970-1997, junk mail flyers from thne 60's onward, etc.

She was a classic hoarder. The house had pathways through it from her bedroom to the kitchen and one clear spot on a kitchen table piled high with crap and two bedrooms had doors literally bulging with stuff leaning against them. I was so disgusted, I was throwing every printed item away after the second day.
