I'm exhausted! We have been getting this house ready to sell by cleaning out stuff we don't want, painting, and packing away things to make it look a bit larger. Here is a list of things I have done since last Tuesday.
Paint the front porch (Dan sanded it down real nice)
Cut and feed the roses in the front yard.
Paint the entry room, what do you call that? The foyer?
Clear out the shelf unit. Pack away the extra books. Take the shelf unit to the garage.
Clear out the living room of extra knic-knac's.
Clear out the big file cabinet and put it in the garage.
Clean the windows (all of them).
Clear out the kitchen extra's, like the decorations and bowls on top of the cabinets. Dan put the edges on the counter tops and the molding around the backsplash.
Scrape and paint the laundry room ceiling. Paint the walls.
Touch up the paint on the back door.
Scrape and paint the back steps and Mom's back door steps.
Clean the back yard. That's still in progress!
Paint the flower stand outside the kitchen windows.
Clean out our closet. Put Dan's dresser in the garage.
Pack up extra books from the top of the stairs bookcase.
Clear out the boys room of unused toys and clothes.
Put the glass doors back on the built in cabinet in the boys room.
Take box of extra toys and end tables out to the garage.
Scrape and paint the boys ceiling.
Clear Nikki's room of extra stuff. Go through all her things with her and cull out the trash and crap.
Take Grandma's hope chest, book shelf, and chest of drawers out to the garage.
Pack up all the things that were in there and put them in the garage.
Clean bathrooms really good.
Take Mom's extra furniture out to the garage.
Dan and I spent the day cleaning the garage and then he went to the dump. It looks great!
And now what else do we need to do?
Clean out Dan's office.
Clean out "Never Land", our storage room off the garage.
Paint the patch on the upstairs tub.
Put the door back on our closet.
And attempt to keep the house looking clean in case anyone comes to look at it. God help me!

It will all be worth it in the end. Wait until you move, then you really find out how much stuff you have. Yikes! have fun!
I am exhausted just reading your list - it will make a huge difference for sure.
