Declutter: basement

• Zones marked first: keep / donate / trash / unknown
• The unknown boxes: open all, sort this weekend
• Water-damaged cardboard: contents checked, boxes recycled
• Broken furniture promised for repair 'someday': out
• Old paint + chemicals: municipal disposal day
• Duplicated tools: garage keeps one, basement none
• Kids' outgrown gear: donate while another family needs it
• Everything stored: in labeled bins, off the floor on pallets/shelves
• One aisle maintained wall to wall — nothing blocks it
• Seasonal items (holiday, camping) to one zone, labeled
• Photo inventory of what's kept + where
• Rule: box in, box out — the floor never grows
