So my brother came in from Arizona with his wife and three sons to visit us and do a bit of cleaning. Around 11 years ago he moved to Hawaii and couldn't take all of his stuff with him due to the exuberant shipping costs and simply not having enough room to put all of that stuff in his house in Hawaii. Since land is so scarce and expensive in Hawaii, the houses are very small than houses on the mainland.
Now onto the cleaning. This has got to be a very fun experience for all of us especially me because I get some things that they have no use for such as a mirror and a vintage Paymaster Check Writer which my brother denies he owns. Anyway. One of the boxes he uncovered was a file box with all of his wives bank statements and former employer benefits and credit card bills and store receipts. My brother even found their chapel rent bill from their wedding day. That was the only thing he kept out of that file box. Everything in that file box went into the shredder.
Shredding everything was a real fun experience. Because there was so much paperwork, we had to toggle it between our shredder and the one my other brother has for his business because after too much use shredders tend to overheat and that can be a problem. So we ended up shredding everything by 11:30 PM last night and ended up with a huge black garbage bag full of shredded paper.
In addition to the shredding of documents my brother also has a lot of stuff he doesn't have any use for back home in Arizona, so we are going to give that stuff to our church for their flea market for the church picnic in August.
