Going through my excess right now. I'm at the point where it's not that "I might need this some day". It's more like

"Why the hell would I want to do such a thing any more"

I have scaled back my woodworking ambitions to the thought of creating "Little Libraries", which I can do with minimal equipment.

And I also have hundreds of pounds of books to fill them. I found electronic versions of just about every book I bought in umptey-ump years.

Sounds like you wouldn't need them (a lot are woodworking and landscaping) and at 76, those are not so appealing any more, especially living solo.

Looking to make things (and life) better.
