How to clear out your parents home - Flip Momma's House

[@Oyimtalkingtoyou]

Thank you so much for this. My ageing dad has every receipt for the past 20yrs! Starting to clean out so the task isn’t so great after he passes

[@laurice8056]

Great advice and ideas for handling an emotionally and physically challenging project. This makes me want to de-clutter my house and downsize my personal belongings to make this task easier for my family someday. Thanks for sharing. In addition to this video your channel has some helpful topics. I’m a new subscriber.

Aw thanks. I keep promising my kids to clear out my diy and crafting gear. I have too much but not nearly what mom had. Be well!😉

GREAT tips & tricks. ... And the Christmas ornaments from MOM'S WEDDING DRESS and also DAD'S FLANNEL SHIRTS.... ... ... FANTASTIC!!!

1) All the important papers in one place 2) clothes and jewelry 3) cards, mementos 4) all the house stuff: furniture, accessories, decor, kitchenware, organizational stuff 5) yard sale furniture and kitchen stuff 6) use social media (FB & Craig’s list for selling valuable stuff after the sale 7) Going through the sentimental items. Take photos to hold on to the memory. Use flannel shirts and lace fm wedding dress to make a Christmas ornaments, teddy bears, quilt, etc. 8) What about paper photos??? Scan, save albums as they are, save the important ones scan and print them out. Make a collage or scrapbook. This can be done later after taxes, property, legal stuff, after dealt with some of your grief.

So sorry for your loss! I lost my father last year

[@summer2011leggo]

My parents are elderly. I am their only child. I am very scared of all the headaches that can occur from them passing suddenly. My mother is a hoarder. We still have her mother’s tax returns from 1992.The comps in my area are $400K+ I don’t want to have to sell in a rush.

[@viktoriousextensions394]

Great advice. Thank you very much.

[@DIYHIPChicks]

My pleasure!

My parents had phone bills from 1992! HELP....where is the video that shows the home improvements you made to your mother's house?

[@DIYHIPChicks]

Hi Tibi. I have to apologize. The footage was lost. I was so upset. The SD card was lost after the house sold. ;(

[@tibitaylor]

@@DIYHIPChicks Sorry to hear that. :( My mother passed away this year. Dealing with her house now. Can I ask, why you did a yard sale, instead of estate sale. My mother's house is in a location that wouldn't allow furniture on the lawn and I don't think it would be feasible as the land isn't flat and weather unpredictable. Loved your wedding dress idea. I inherited a fur coat that I might turn into a handbag. Also, did you put anything into a storage facility? I'm thinking I will need one.

[@DIYHIPChicks]

@@tibitaylor in mom's neighbor yard sales were very popular. And my mom loved a good yard sale ;) We did not store anything. We either sold it, donated it or the three of us kept a few pieces. It was a tough process. Emotionally I need the process to fully grieve. It helped me a lot

[@DIYHIPChicks]

@@tibitaylor Best of luck to you.

[@tibitaylor]
