That sister was so helpful. She didn't make him get rid of things. She suggested things for him, and helped him understand why it wasn't good "someone else could use it" "look at the inside of the pot" that's how things should be done.

[@peggypeggy4137]

A saw a British show on hoarders. One of the antique experts summarized the difference between "hoarders" & "collectors". He said collectors are organized, they put together "like with like". They put place things in a way that honours what they are displaying. They are involved in the socail aspect in their collections--other people that have the same enthusiasm. Not sure if everyone would agree with that but I thought it was quite interesting.

[@oddhouseproduction]

Jep.

[@judylloyd7901]

@@cynicaltruth7486 Yep, I saw one hoarding situation where the guy had hundreds of vinyl records buried under junk. One of the professional team took him to visit a true collector who had his records and memorabilia displayed on shelves and cabinets. The hoarder was so impressed that he ended up with a similar system and got rid of heaps of junk. And then he had the space to actually play the records. He was totally chuffed.

[@noble604]

And not just a friend but people who seem to really, genuinely love them and who give their time, effort and energy to them to take them under their care, sometimes for years of their lives while seemingly getting little in return and no real commitment or advancement in the relationship. It’s interesting to see, I agree, when many other people can’t seem to even find a date ....and they make every effort to put forth their best selves to present both in their physical person and in their living space ... and are employed, with interests etc . It is fascinating.

That's a good rule!! I had a hard time with my house after multiple roommates, a shopping addiction, and after people brought stuff to my house for a group garage house. My garage and spare rooms were so full of boxes and junk!! But I started getting serious about getting rid of stuff like 2 years ago and I'm happy to say that I've come such a long way!! And I'm still going!! Now I'm really picky with what I buy, and I'm constantly on the look out for stuff I can toss. Feels great to have an open, clean home. This show is a pure inspo

This show really does help me not to hoard. I totally see how people can collect things that they remember from "happy" times. I've done it and had "collected" a lot after losing 4 close family members, a family home in the 2008 recession and then everything I had left by an abusive ex. Doing exceptionally well now and just purchased a home that I am just so in love with. Current economical times certainly scare me after 2008 and I have to tell myself to take a deep breath. And I've also had to check myself numerous times when on Marketplace for wanting to pick up things I don't exactly need or have room for. It just reminds me of someone or place or time that has passed by. I often watch this show for motivation to purge and dust. Thanks to this show, even my baseboard are shiny today. Filled a 25ft dumpster full before we moved and it felt amazing 👏.

Because the show is the only thing willing to help and spend thousands of dollars? Unlike the city that gives out warnings,but don’t have the means to offer any actual help.

Because the hoarder won't get help until something important to them is on the line. And by then it's usually the last hour.

When people are hoarders or just “messy” you realize how they see things.

From looking at what was being cleaned up outside, at least they were loading the lumber and the building logs onto flat trailers instead of in the dumpsters so at least he was going to get some resale value from the hoard. He had more order and organization to the hoard in and outside the house but it was still overly cluttered and cramped. Compared to other episodes of "Hoarders" where you can't even see the floors and whole rooms are completely full to the ceiling his house was the cleanest by far.
