Hoarding runs on my mom's side of the family especially with old age. Nearly everyone has a basement or entire outbuilding full of damaged stuff that they won't throw away. When I moved in to my great aunt's house we had to spend 3 weeks pulling out all the newspapers, receipts, dead plants, old damaged furniture, and so on that was packed starting with the bedroom and moving out through the rest of the house until the only thing you could walk through was the back door, through a strip in the kitchen, to her chair in the diningroom. My aunt and uncle have 4 sheds, a garage, a 3x larger garage add on, and a basement full of stuff. They claimed my chicken coop when we left there and have filled that. My mom is starting to do it too. First the closet got full of christmas stuff, then the next closet, then we built an area on top of the garage and that got full, she was 3 horse stalls into the stable last time I was there... She also flipped that when I sold the horses I sold some saddles that had been used once in my lifetime and probably only once in hers. One hadn't even properly fit any horse it had been used on and probably never would fit another of the breeds we were used to keeping. Whatever. I will return what tack I don't care about cause it doesn't even sell for enough to be worth it these days, take the couple good saddles and hard to find tack pieces, and she can sit on the rest until it rots from lack of care. No one is going to clean and maintain the tack for the next 10 years if ever again and half of it is already barely salvageable.
