Stock rooms..  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement 5 years ago

I just checked our stock room this morning, it's too crowded and haven't been cleaned for maybe a month. So I decided to check and clean it first thing this weekend, maybe organize and sort out all the stuffs that needs to thrashed so I could make some room for the one's that I'm planning to put inside.

Our stock room is just small, but the good thing is it has shelves where we could put small stuffs in it. If I'm not mistaking, it's 6x6 in both angles and about 12 feet in height. We have an old tv, monitor and other miscellaneous stuffs in it. Some I'm planning to dump and others could be sold for recycling, as I could also make an extra cash out of it!;)

I know that others have attics and dungeons or basements, where they could stock up some of the junks that piles up in their house. So where do you put your's, or do you simply throw things away?

Hello raijin
Now where I live, I have no room!
I do not own a thing to be honest, but my other half wants to keep everything and more.
This is a small apt with only 3 rooms and the bathroom and yet, there is junk stored near the back door in the kitchen that really is of no use. Nothing I can do, for they will not let me throw anything out.
Before when I had more room in other places I lived, I would have a closet or a storage shed to put things in, or just simply a room for storage..those were the days when I had much more room.
I never hung on to much stuff anyway and now I am happy to be free of things. My son has some things of his in storage, but it is very little, as he lost all in a fire recently.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

I guess we're still lucky, the storage room we have is a bit cluttered but yet it still has some space. It just needs a little organizing, so we could place more of what we need not using of.

I don't know the story behind your sons stuffs lost in the fire, but I do feel sorry for what happened.

As for your apartment, I'm not also sure why you aren't allowed to throw stuffs out but that ma have something to do with the policy your landlord is implementing. I just hope that everything's with you and the rest of the family, thanks for sharing!;)


myLot reputation of 95/100. TheHairDresser (3350)  5 years ago

No it's my other half not the landlord that won't let me throw junk out LOL and thank you so much for your concern and it is alright now, well somewhat better after the fire(((raijin)))and I agree, you can make a few dollars from stuff you don't need anymore. Good Luck in organizing and selling!

Hello,Raijin! stck room or the store room whatever it may be,it should be regularly cleaned otherwise insects may damage things.not only the store room but also the living rooms,kitchen dining room must be cleaned at regular intervals and the stuffs may be preserved in an oganised way.special care should be taken to avoid clutter of things.un-necessary things must be thrown out or sold for recycling.you have said that you have kept old tv and a monitor in your store room.you throw it out if not working.or just repair and keep on running condition since nonworking electronic goods radiate some bad things which may effect health of the inmates.we clean our house at regular intervals and throw away unnecessary things and sale the old papers for recycling.thank you.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Thanks for putting that in mind, fortunately me and the rest of the family have our own chores in the house. We have designated rooms and areas to clean, so cleaning the house is not a big deal.

Hi raijin!Why are you still awake? :) As for me, just finished doing the dishes, mopping the floor and last minute cleaning. And trying to catch up some Mylotting.

We don't have an attic, basement, or dungeon. lol! But we do have a small spare room that I've converted into a semi-storage room/ironing room. I regularly check out some stuffs that have been piled up in some corner and sort them out for their usefulness. I did try what you're doing. Selling some things to the junk shop. But because it's much more inconvenient for me to take a jeepney then go to the junkshop, I rather take out the things that we don't need anymore and "donate" them to the designated garbage retrieval personnel. Sometimes it's amusing to see them when I have thing to give to them. They look like small children being given presents.

The only things that I did keep are baby clothes and things. I was planning to give them to either one of my sisters if they get pregnant again. And now, my sister needs them.

I don't make a habit of keeping things that can turn out to be a major mess in the end. Like my husband does.lol. Let's just say, he's responsible for messing the house and I do the clean-up. :)


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Yep still awake, for I am doing a little catching up myself. My internet was down for a couple of days, the server just restored the signal this afternoon.

I guess one advantage I have is, I know people who buys old busted stuffs here!;) They were from the place where we used to live, I see some of them loitering around here in my place so I ask for suggestions from them!;)

Old clothings like those of the babies can be useful indeed, I remember my mother telling us story how my used-to-be shirt was still being used by some of our relatives from the province. Imagine the amount of time it has been, yet it is still being used!;) Though they are not that poor, I believe they prefer to use it instead of buying another one in which they could money and spend it on other things that are worth spending at!;)


myLot reputation of 99/100. jcj_111776 (1353)  5 years ago

Yes, I've noticed that you haven't logged in for three days. Hopefully, our internet signal won't have any problems especially that we're experiencing very strong winds here at Bulacan.

You're very lucky to have people like them who's willing to buy things from you. From where we live, if I want to sell some things at the nearest junkshop, I'll have to spend more than P100.00 for my transportaion, back and forth.

Your old clothes has come a long way, huh.:) My husband who had tons of old polo shirts, finally decided to just keep a few and give the rest to his father who was living at the province.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

That's the way it should be done, it seems that you're hubby's have lots of stuffs to share with others!;)

The wind here's the same from where you are at right now, I haven't used any fan at nights and is even struggling having a bath since we don't have any water heaters here!;)


myLot reputation of 99/100. jcj_111776 (1353)  5 years ago

I know what you mean. lol! It gets so cold sometimes here that taking a bath is like a Fear Factor challenge! haha! We don't have water heaters installed, so my husband will take a large container with water in it, and boil it. He does this everyday and I do the same thing for our son. Bathing my son without mixed hot water, is like a wrestling/shouting match. :)

As a result of boiling a large container of water everyday, the supply of Shellane is shortened, which usually lasts for two months.

G'Day My Friend,

Where do we store all our junk.
How long of a list am I allowed Raijin.
My partner is a hoarder, he hoardes everything. You name it he has it.
He loves going to garage/yard sales and always bringing stuff home.
We have so many sofa's and chairs we would need 100 people here to use them all. I have told him he is not to bring anything else home, does he listen NO.
Well I can hardly move in my computer room, now this room is huge. I can give you measurements in meters sorry.
It is 40 square meter room. It is almost as big as the entire house, and I cannot move in here.
He has junk everywhere in the yard.
We have a 10 car garage, it is full of his junk.
I fear I will have to leave home soon Raijin, so he can use my space for storing more junk.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Uh-oh, I don't think that it has to end to that scenario..

Maybe you can talk about it, on what he plans to do about it!;)


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  5 years ago

No I do not suppose he will get rid of me, just to use my space.
Afterall he would have no one to cook for him.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Hehehe! Our house still has a room for guests, you can stay here in-case you need to!;)


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  5 years ago

Ow Raijin, we better not let Miss Nova see this, for she will get jealous.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

No need to get jealous here, I am for both of you or for everybody!;)


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  5 years ago

Oh My you are greedy.
Looks like Nova is having trouble with her computer.
We have yahoo IM and it keeps coming up on my screen, she is online, she is offline.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

So you're both using yahoo, can you PM you're e-mail addresses so I could add you both!;)


myLot reputation of 92/100. novataylor (2165)   ranked 14 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Coming right up, Raijin!


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Thank you both, I don't have any hotmail so I guess we'll all just have to stay stuck on Yahoo!;)


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  5 years ago

At least with Yahoo IM if a few of us wanted to talk there is a conference call, where everyone can join in.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Yup, that's right goodie my friend. =)

some things that i considered a trash usually goes to the garbage but those things which can be recycle or be included in a garage sale will be in the stock room..


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Yes, that's where we should mostly put and sort stuffs in our house..

raijin^_^

i hate cleaning up stock rooms and all matters of cleaning the house because i get to sneeze non stop, sinusitis sucks..
err..


one thing i dont get is, even if its old, broken or completely useless, i never throw them away.. i got appliances which are malfunction so i put them in the stock room.. bunch of newspapers, even bottles or all kinds of big boxes.. anything i can keep, i keep it^_^



there was once my sister came and tried to clean the whole house, then when i check the stock room, almost half the load and all organized, i panic and ask her where she place this and that.. then i found out most stuff she threw away.. well, i agree, it is really not necessary to keep junkies.. but its hard to let them go.. even if they look like trash.



so enjoy cleaning^_^
take care raijin..


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

I too used to sneeze non-stop when cleaning, I even put a face mask every time I wipe some dusts off. But thanks to the vitamins I'm taking up, I don't have to worry of it anymore!;)

Papers and other recyclable materials should be thrown or sold, you never know what pests it might attract in your house. Just another reason in keeping the environment clean, a small step to make a difference!;)

I have some of my junks, but I do sort them out at times and throw away those of which I thik has no relevance with me at all!;)

i usually throw them out because i believe in relieving myself of any excess baggage, thing s that i do not need anymore to lighten up my load but i realized that those things things could be sold to the world through ebay and some other local sites . one's junk could be a treasure for someone else. so, now i am collecting all my junks and doing inventory and cleaning them to be sold to the world. anyway it has been gathering dust for years now and it would not hurt to kust leave it there for another year or so waiting for it to be sold to someone who might need it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Though I'm not much into e-bay or any other, I do sell those of which I don't have any use of. Sometimes, I give it to those who needs it more like used clothings.

That's a good practice you have there, how I wish I still had those old stuffs now.. =)

so how much did you get from those old stuffs raijin? ^__^

we also have a small stock room at the back of our house. i don't clean it by the way. ^__^;; my mother is the one who always organize it. it has old bags, documents, book,s shoes, toys, and everything. mostly its bags because my mother had lots of bags before. and most of them we cannot re-use because its so old, and the style is has-been. ^__^;; i don't know what my mother do with the old stuffs when she cleans the stock room. but sometimes, my cousins would come over and they would ask my mother to give them some of the old stuffs.

as for my old stuffs, i don't know. ^__^;; i forget all the things that i am not using so probably its also my mother that organizes them and stores them somewhere in the stock room. sometimes if i'm getting tired of a stuff, i would give it to someone before i misplace it and lose it. ^__^


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)   ranked 1 out of 18 in home improvement  5 years ago

Not much, but it does provide some extra for our daily miscellaneous expenses!LoL

My mother also does the cleaning sometimes, but she's not getting any younger anymore so I'm the one who shoulders it!;) She's also the one who collects some stuffs for no reason, so when I find it I always include on either in our trash or with the one's I'd make a profit for.. Heehee!


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7248)  5 years ago

hmmm.. so you wake up early and you sleep late? ^__^;;
