Even tho it seems like “clutter”, I’m betting everything has value and you’re just space limited(?). My ex-wife became a mega hoarder while I was overseas dodging bullets…and my homecomings were bittersweet. The difference is she became a shopaholic & threw nothing away…but her stuff wasn’t valuable. No collections involved, no memories; just loved spending all (MY) money. I have 2 storage units in 2 different States. Every item in both was inherited furniture, stuff from overseas etc but all has value and kept for my children OR in case I ever got a home of my own. Which I just have so this year I’m renting a truck, hiring my daughter to help & bringing that stuff to my new place. We get attached to THINGS, which is bad. Consumerism distracts from the important things in life, Ya know?
It's a "15" puzzle. There's room for everything to fit, but not room enough to sort through it. I need a temporary holding area. Then I can get more shelves and sort through things box by box. Many papers can be scanned and tossed. Ones I need to keep can be filed. Many of the books could be scanned and sold. I don't need the books themselves, just the information inside.
Someone once asked us when we would get everything straight. I said hopefully in time for the estate sale. :)
I have two of them. One is an Epson flatbed scanner that also does negatives. The other is an Eloam book scanner. I can toss receipts and other odd pieces of paper on the black cloth, and it can find the object, flatten it, and scan it. I can scan books, and it can find both pages and flatten them out (most of the time).
Wow! I’m not familiar with high-end models but that sounds like something you’d find in a University library? No wonder you got 100Tb going…I’m ordering some externals in the next couple days. Are you a fan of Seagate or Western Digital?
