Again, I didn't do a 'before'  picture, but here is a little more progress:  The coat closet.
Yeah, you can't tell how bad this was except by the sagging middle of the top shelf.  It's still sagging because of the weight of so much there for so long.  But I can tell a difference. And I'm feeling good.  The top shelf was packed with 'stuff', the coats were crammed in so tight you had to fight to get one out. The floor beneath the coats used to be lined with things. Now there are still more coats here than the two of us will probably wear in the next three years, but it's much better.  All that is on the floor is Lucy's dog food, the leaf to the table in the family room and a folding chair.  I've put two boxes in the car of things to take to Salvation Army or Goodwill, taken a whole lot out in the trash, and I'm making progress.
