I am so tempted to start off with a Professional Organizer tells all. Hell, why not..................... It started almost 20 yrs. ago with a phone call from the Grand Poobah of my trade. She had gone to see a potential client and found that the potential client didn't want to do it 'her way'. Hence, a phone call to me, the newbie. I practically flew to this home, situated in a very nice neighborhood in Los Angeles. Upon entering the front gates of this 10,000 sf house, I knew that good fortune had come to me. Here was a house or was it a home, with a 5-car garage and they were unable to park even one car. They had STUFF. So much stuff, I spent the next 3 yrs organizing them. I mean, imagine my surprise when given the tour of this dwelling with a custom bathtub built for a professional basketball player. With dozens of closets and plenty of room, this family was keeping their clean towels in their over-sized tub! However, the piles were color coded:) But, I was not going to begin in the house. I would be spending hundreds of hours in the garage. Being a sizable garage, replete with built-ins of every size and closets that locked, it was going to be very difficult for me to reach the extraordinary heighths without some serious ladder action. I made a suggestion, perhaps a request. The day that I arrived to begin my 1st in-depth job what should I find staring me in the face - an industrial size ladder - the kind you find at home improvement stores, with an ample platform.
And so , the story begins
