Since moving to Florida, JZ has exacerbated his hoarding behaviors. His small condo has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living/dining combination and a kitchen. He also has an outdoor screened patio.
His entire living area, including the outdoor patio, is filled with boxes, books, tapes, DVDs, food cans and a multitude of other things.
JZ and I met at his home on June 8, 2011. Pictures were taken of every room in his condo, and we sat down to make a plan about how we would attack this major project. JZ is very willing to "get it done" as he says. We discussed beginning with the extra bedroom, which is filled floor to ceiling with items. We will clean out this room and set it up as a sorting area for donations, items to keep, and sale items. JZ readily agrees to the plan.
JZ and I set a schedule to meet every Wednesday for two hours of work on the clean-up. He is unable to commit to more than this amount of time and the cost associated with it. We agree that JZ will have "assignments" to get through during the period between our joint clean-up meetings.
