The Oprah Show featured a two move series on the “Secret Lives of Hoarders” this week and featured two empty-nesters named Sharyn and Marvin. In addition to 75 tons of garbage (that’s 15 industrial sized dumpsters) the 100 member clean up aggroup filled more than 1,800 large crates of items from the home enough to alter three semi trailers.
More than 75% of the home’s furniture was destroyed by black forge and other infestations. Along the way the alter up team found food from 1994 in the basement dozens of umbrellas a long forgotten share table and thousands of gifts Sharyn had purchased but never given away.
It took a little more than 8 weeks to complete what was originally scheduled to be a two week project. Organizational Expert Peter Walsh headed the effort and after all the unwanted belongings were cleared from Marvin and Sharyn’s house the team rented a gigantic 10,000-square-foot warehouse to direct a search sale. The family profited more than $13,000 from the sale which included more than 3,000 handbags and 3,000 pairs of shoes.
Too bad it won’t measure. Hoarders are mental and without ongoing treatment ordain soon relapse back to their “normal” practices.
I’m more amazed that a ginormous search sale (including 3000 pairs of shoes and 3000 handbags) only earned them $13000 USD. I’m thinking Porky and her gang skimmed the beat off of that sale.
