Fall Cleaning continued

For anyone who cares, (and everyone who doesn't) I highly recommend Speed Cleaning: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Get Everything Done in Half the Time or Less
by Jeff Campbell. The most efficient cleaning methods I've ever seen, and the only book about quickly cleaning up that mess you've been dreading written specifically for people who'd much rather be doing anything else.

I have three Fall cleaning projects left: the fridge, the oven, and decluttering the house, a.k.a. dejunking, a.k.a. making the house bigger. Why is it that even though we never have enough money, we always have too much stuff?
