Hi thought i would try to capture some of the things im trying to work through /repair
so the story goes i have been buying a few console / computer/ bits bundles as i enjoy tinkering ( with my limited know how)
life was sweet 2 rooms at my house full and started filling gf house ..
then daugher decides she moving back as she cant pay her rent with hours been cut .
so i need space so i need to reduce my collection ( hoarding)
so figured best first step was to see what is lurking and see whats worth investing time in .

sh*t
8 various st's
3 n64
2 megadrives
2 megadrive 2
3 snes
1 jag
1 a3000
loads of vintage tv games from late 70'S
4*2600 woodies
1* 7800
2* 2600 jr
numerous playstations, game cubes , game gears ,psp
enough controllers to kit out a footy stadium.

i need to recude this lot to fit in
1 daughter , her boyfriend ,her flatmate , 1 german shephard,1 staffie ,2 poison dart frogs , 2 snakes .

i have 16 days as well as fit kitchen and bath room.
