Thank you for watching and supporting me 🙏 you can view the hoarder garage playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLqrC5WUwX3kcudyFWKrqtAARUzo1qj4lC.html
You're a good kid for helping them. I agree it's frustrating, the task at large and your parents not wanting to let go of items.
Take your time, it will get done, every little bit is a step toward the finish line.
Thanks so much Linda. Your words are very encouraging :)
You are doing such a nice thing for your family! It must be discouraging to see clutter moving back in but compared to where the garage started it is so so much progress.
Thank you. It hasn't been easy.
I admire how you deal with your parents. As someone with hoarder tendencies, I really appreciate how respectfully and slowly you are dealing with your parents items. Your work is very helpful .
Thanks so much for being understanding! Some people have said that it is taking forever but this is the way to go.
I just recently found your channel and am binge watching this playlist. Just know that the reason your family members are moving things to the garage from the house is that they want to clear space in the house which means they are slowly changing their mindset. They’re realizing the benefits of a clear space and you are allowing them to do that inside their house. You’re doing a great job.
Hi welcome here! Thanks for watching the playlist and your comment. I appreciate it 🤗
Your parents have done so good with letting things go! Progress is progress. So nice of you to help them and great job. I hope you tell them that you are proud of them for letting so much go 🌺
Agreed! I do! :)
Thanks, for keeping going despite the set backs. It's tough when you don't have them with you for the process. You're awesome.
Thanks so much! I am grateful x
Hey Mariela, I hope you're feeling better now - It is frustrating to see more clutter in the garage after all your hard work but decluttering the physical stuff is only part of the issue, like you say they're hoarders and so they would need a whole mindset change and want to do it for things to truly improve long term which isn't easy. You're doing a great job especially carrying on even though you weren't feeling your best, my mum was a hoarder and I understand how mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting the process is as all you want is to help them make their lives easier and better, if I lived near you I'd happily give you a hand as it's a lot of work especially doing it on your own. Hopefully as time goes on and they've lived with the improvements, they'll appreciate that less is more 🤗
Hey thank you, I am. I agree. It's nice to know you can understand dealing with the same with your mom. I wish I could have more help! lol I hope so too!
Shopping addiction + hoarding = 😣😣
Bless you xoxo
Exactly.. thank you :)
@@MarielaMerino Maybe you should hide their costco card.
@@sarahroberts5784 I wish!! lol
Thanks Mariela for all that you are doing for your parents!
Thanks so much, Carrie!
I truly believe that you are the only person who can do this job because your parents trust you and they would never hire someone because they would have to be more involved in the process. Don't be discouraged; I'm sure your mom was so relieved that she could make the inside of the home less cluttered for when company was coming over so she appreciates what you're doing. Great job consolidating all the Hallowe'en stuff in the tote... you made good progress!
Thank you Jenny! You are right. And yes now there's no more clutter in the dining room and it looks so much better!
I understand your frustration! My mother was a hoarder and when she died there were new items that were destroyed because they were left in an area to collect dust and issues with an older house. I will say I have changed my mindset to just in case items...there is a good chance there will be a newer model and another great sale when I need it vs buying it now and having to take care of it now so it will be like new when I need it. Good luck in helping your parents.
Thanks Jamie. My mindset has changed too since becoming minimal. You are correct, by the time they want to use something there will be something better coming out by then.
Your parents may be saving a few dollars by stocking up on small appliances when they're on sale, but I guarantee that the value of everything in that garage does not add up to the value of their least expensive vehicle, which they have forced out of the garage and into the elements where it is not protected. They are being penny wise and pound foolish. Garages are for storing vehicles.
Hmmm… this is an interesting take, because many people do not have a garage to store their vehicle; my self included. I live in the north with snow and cold and my car is no worse because of it.
@@carrie3206 I don't have a garage either, but if I did you can be sure my car would be in it, and not a lot of random stuff. The amount of time I'd save on cleaning snow and ice off my car alone would be worth any storage space I'd lose. And exposure to the elements does take a toll on your vehicle. Just ask your mechanic.
Yes, I've said this before to my dad. Please come over and help me tell him maybe he'll listen to not a family member 😅
😄
It was probably huge for them even to trust someone else to determine what was trash, you're doing great!
definitely. thank you!
Great job Mariela! I was very impressed with the amount you decluttered! I had no idea you were gathering that much, lol. I love that you have all these new bins and then you discovered more! I’m sure when you are feeling better, you will start filling them up and stacking them and that for sure will create more space. May I suggest that you label them as you go, to make your work easier in the long term? 😊
I really get excited to see your videos titled garage declutter. Thank you for sharing them. ❤❤❤
Yes! Only got to fill one up that day but looking forward to fill the rest. I thinking of buying a label maker or maybe just using sticker and sharpie to label the bins. Thank you for watching! 😊😊😊🙏
@@MarielaMerino ya! Maybe clear packing tape and a Sharpie! 😊
U have no idea how much each of these videos motivate me to declutter my parents' ❤️
I hve been working on my parents entire home declutter fr 1.5yrs now..
N like ur initial videos, had i not documented the progress, nobody would have realised the changes..
As stuff keep coming in n get reshuffled even though every week tons of stuff are donated thrown away or recycled..
I'm happy to hear it's motivating! It takes a long time. The reshuffling part gets to me. Keep up the good work :)
Big hugs. It is progress that they are even letting you get things out of piles. If they can find the stuff they bought just in case there is at least more chance that when things wear out the will use the prestocked item instead of buying yet another one. I will suggest that labels or clear bins might be helpful. Even just a piece of printer paper taped on a bin can let you know what is in it without opening later.
Hugs back to you! Yes I agree. And labeling will definitely be a lot of help. Adding that to my list for next time!
I put shelving up in our garage then totes on shelf. Much more organized, safe from bugs and rodents and i use clear ones so can see items.
Now we are moving i can easily say those items can go alot easier.
Nice! Where did you get your shelving from?
Hang in there sweetheart!! You’re doing a very nice thing. Is love to hear more about your thoughts and frustrations. It might be therapeutic❤
Thanks Deborah! I think you're right :)
That’s a good size tossy tossy pile. Would be so nice if your dad could find a good deal on some big storage rack/ shelving units to hold bins and boxed items. You’re doing a great job. It is frustrating I know. When you’re working with other peoples things. You are being respectful.
Poor Mariela, you try so hard. LOL. Anyway, great video - this is my favorite garage de-cluttering series. Only problem, they are not frequent enough. I must say again to critics: Mariela has taken a lot out of the garage over the past year. The stove is finally gone, yay. She must be very patient and noe over-bearing. Congrats on the new (and used) bins. Looking forward to the next installment.
haha! Yeah once a month, I wish I could be there every weekend but have things to do so I go when I can. And thank you! Only the people that have been around since day 1 know how much there was lol. Have a nice day :)
Oh my, this must be so so frustrating!! 😒
Hats of to you for working through it.
Question, are you not afraid they will keep filling up that garage every time you declutter some stuff?? No judgement but it seems this is an endless cycle if they can't break the habits.
I am. I feel like if I wasn't in here every month it would get back to how it was :/
As you can probably tell I’m binge watching lol
I can’t keep new things unused like that lol I’m like a little kid and want to play as soon as I get home lol
haha yes! love it! ooh me too. idk how my parents do it lol
If you keep your eyes open on Facebook marketplace or even on the side of the road you can find free things! I have found several book shelves which I have used for storage in our garage. Just wanted to share it's been super helpful to me 💕. Good Job keep up the good work!
Oh book shelves would be great to use. I had not thought of using that. Thank you!🙏
You are doing great Mariela! Slow and steady wins the race. Hope this helps for the garage project 🤗
Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate it! x
You are an amazing daughter and a wonderful person. Your family are so blessed to have you help them.
Thank you so much!
You have made so much progress! We can see the floor and some space around the things. You are a champ!
Right?! Remember we barely were able to move. Thank you!
Lol, my granddaughter use to hide big plastic bugs for me. She knows nonnie doesn’t like bugs in the house.
I wish I had someone to help me with my garage. I’m a recovering hoarder, but only in my garage and basement. I do my darndest to keep the living areas of my home clean and organized. I have to stay out of stores and off the internet for fear I’ll impulse shop
I wish I could go help you! lol. Keep up the good work. Knowing your triggers is good and it's great you can avoid them now.
Mariela I’m so sorry to hear that you weren’t feeling well at the time of filming but glad to hear you are better at the end. I truly understand what you are going through. My parents are the same. More recently I have seen it more with their home. Things upon things of hoarding and items that haven’t been used. It’s difficult since their mindset is different but it’s wonderful that you are continuing this journey. Although it’s little by little it makes an impact.
Thanks Daniel. You're right! :)
A few tips: If you find a (free or inexpensive) shelf/bookcase that would be great storage for the water bottles! That way you can take them out of the plastic and put them on the shelf individually! It would make them more accessible and you won't end up having stacks high of plastic, just a simple way to keep them organized nicely! Also, maybe put some labels on your totes with paper and tape so they can be removable easily, and you can let your parents know what's inside each tote! Also for hat organization, I know there are some wall hanging hat racks, that would be great to get them off the floor and other things!
Hi Marissa, thank you so much for the suggestions! I have not thought of the shelf for water bottles. I will remember to add labels next time to the totes. I'll research hat racks too :)
Wow what you did is amazing! Looks like you can see the finish line. Seems like a carpenter might help you. More power to you.
Thanks so much!!
I am binge watching a lot of UA-cam video on garage clean up. Mine is getting worse and I am not having the motivation or the mental head space to tackle it. Watching so I can get the motivation and inspiration to tackle my own garage. It’s bothering me for months now. In America, we all have this problem because of the amount of commercialism we are bombarded with and also the idea that just in case or one day I might need it keep us from holding our clutter.
Thanks for sharing. I hope you find my videos motivating. I wish I could help you! Start small is my suggestion. You make good points, so many people have this issue and just collect clutter.
Shelving might be helpful. One set of shelves for household overstock such as paper products, drinks and water. Other shelf for kitchen items and new unused items. Hope my suggestion helps, bless you for helping your parents!
Thanks Julie!! I'm going to save up and look out for shelving.
God bless you and I hope your feeling better soon,
Thank you Susan! Feeling okay now.
@@MarielaMerino I’m glad to hear that 👍
Hola!! Te escribo desde Argentina!!! En mi experiencia como hija de acumuladores, el primer paso es resignarse a que no van a ceder rápidamente. Yo comencé solo organizando y de a poco fuimos sacando cosas
Hola Florencia! Gracias por escribirme!
I think it'd be interesting to get a more in-depth video on this garage decluttering process.... one thing I'd be tempted to say if I were in your shoes would be to just stop buying random sh*t. They don't need those "just in case" items; they just need to learn to be more mindful of their habits.
I would need to take their credit cards away haha. I agree, it all starts from the mindset.
You are fighting an uphill battle with your clutterbug parents! I think it might be unsafe to keep all of those boxes, etc right next to the water heater. Good luck with everything.
Thanks Sarah! I hope the stuff there is temporary. There's no place for it all to go 😩
@@MarielaMerino you're doing the good work though! You're inspiring me in so many ways - I want to tackle my sister's garage.
@@sarahroberts5784 thanks so much. I am happy to hear that! Good luck!
Since your parents like buying things on sale, maybe you can get them interested in storage shelves and bins if you find sales on those items.
Good idea :)
I feel frustrated for you. We cleaned out my mothers garage and had a garage sale. She was willing to get rid of my deceased step fathers tools but not her items. She has 6 or 7 crockpots and every kitchen gadget you could think of. On the day of the garage sale a bunch of large kitchen items magically disappeared and were not available for the sale. We emptied out a a car worth of space. It’s been two years and the garage is stuffed again:(
Thanks for sharing Tracy. I fear the garage will be stuffed again in the future.
Great 👍 video
You must have patience because I haven’t
Seems like yr parents aren’t interested at all in decluttering
Shelves are need in both sides of the garage
If the bikes 🚴 aren’t being used or any other items have a garage sale
Seems like your family members find it too convenient to dump their gear in yr parents garage
Great that you got 1 lias to donate
Don’t think your dad is interested at all in decluttering
Spend money 💰 in yrself to have a nice lunch and put yr feet up
Your doing a great job by yourself
I would’ve used the new pots and pans straight away in the house but yr parents have their handbrake on doing anything
Sorry 😞 but that’s what I can see
Have a merry Christmas 🎄 and a 🥳 happy new year
Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Faye, thank you! Yes I agree with what you said. Hope you have a merry christmas and happy new year!!
Have you tried asking your parents to donate to a needy family or shelter. Sometimes that motivates people. Great job
Thanks! Yes, it worked once in the past but not something I've brought up in a while. I'll try that!
Buy shelves nd start putting new and useful stuff on them
That's my next plan :) fingers crossed
In my place these bins cost anywhere between $15-25
N i hvnt yet been able to put money out fr these 😐
They're not cheap! Also depends on size.
Where do you live or parents, not address though.
California
I feel like it is very disrespectful to you to keep cluttering up the garage again despite all your hard work. Some things look like they are just tossed in there and aren't even placed nicely. At some point you just realise some people can't be helped. I'm talking from personal experience.
I agree and it frustrates me sometimes. This clutter was already in the house but it was just tossed in there because it had no home. You can see in my new video that we fixed that :)
