Transcript
So my husband's grandma is a hoarder, and I've been cleaning out her house. You no, this house? Yeah. So this is five things that I wish I knew before helping out a hoarder or a collector. You probably don't wanna expect fast progress, Rufus? Because hoarding was not created overnight and it's not gonna be solved overnight. You gotta remember that every single item had a story. I'm not sure what story this bad, but it has one. I needed some air. You're gonna need to be prepared. You're gonna find some scary stuff, like spiders, and definitely gross stuff, like the bins and the fridge. Oh, no. Man, I almost lost you guys. You gotta meet them where they're at, because fighting? Probably useless. Lastly, you gotta take breaks or else you'll burn out like I did.
