If he got bored looking at it he could rotate it with the boxed ones in the tubs in the garage.

Me I just hate looking for stuff so keep stuff to a minimum.
MIL has boxes upon boxes and drawers stuffed with papers, newspapers, paperwork and god only know what else. Something important will be thrown out unfortunately as we will never be able to sort thru everything. Two people i their late 70s do not need 48 bath towel i told her so we boxed most up and she had a fit so I gave up. That's the last I try and help told them. Frankly I plan on avoiding their house when they pass and want of nothing they have. The wife will have a fit I'm sure when I decline to sort through all that stuff.
