Hi @coinjoe

That basically sums it up, one trash bin at a time. I seems we spend a lifetime accumulating stuff and half a lifetime getting rid of it :))

Have my first local ham club meeting this coming Thursday.

This is good. You'll probably meet people who can give you a hand with your project at home. It's great to be around people who share your interests. I'm not much of a social person, but when I'm around people who share my passions (writing, books, for example) then I open up.

Take it easy in the garage. Heat can be dangerous.
