The neatness thing is a bit of temporary insanity.
I took a week off from work this spring and it rained the whole week.
I went to Sears that Monday and bought a drill press to make my mortar with and found that it would not fit in my shed cuz of all the crapulence that was in the way. Since it was raining and there wasn't much else to do I spent the whole week drinking beer and cleaning 12 years of accumulation out of the shed so that I could get the drill press in there.
It was so bad that on Friday morning (trash pickup day) I waited untill everyone in the neighborhood went to work and then drove up and down the street in my jacked up, camoflage painted golf cart looking for extra space in the neighbors garbage cans.
No need to worry, there is hope... there are ongoing signs of deterioration
