I really should get rid of the 200 FP 20 amp breakers I have collected

I've seen a few places like that, but surprisingly nothing was alive there when I saw it - not even dead carcasses anywhere to be found, just dirt of all kinds imagineable. Even the kitchen sink with dirty dishes that had been covered with boards to serve as a shelf for 2 foot tall stacks of paper had any signs of mold - just dried up food from 20 years ago.

I grew up in that only with a dozen cats that were never quite house trained. She's doing fine if it's not a bio hazard.
Leave the woman alone. Its called freedom.


However I do now believe in the Critical Mass Theorem.
If you can't find it when you need it you might as well not have it.

Macro economics: consistently spend more than you make, you go broke.

Macro hoarding: consistently collect more stuff than you get rid of, your walls bulge.

Stuff expands to fill the volume available to it.
