• Clearing stuff out when you have no truck

  Most of the pain in a cleanout is the trip to the dump. Measure the pile in loads before you rent anything, know what the transfer station wants, and spend the first hour of a rental on the worst stuff.

  A kitchen has to be empty before the boxes are packed, and food can't wait. Work the pantry, the spice rack and the drawers first, then decide what's worth selling, then pack the plates so they survive the trip.
