Thanks for the mostly positive responses. To the condescending person: try to remember back when you FIRST had to do this stuff. It is kind of a big deal, actually.
Today, on my day off, I had lunch with a wonderful friend, came home and re-read this thread, and packed his stuff up. Tools and hardware are all out in the garage, clothing is boxed, bagged and ready to be put out in the garage and I will decide on a time for him to come pick it all up; without me here.
Thanks again for the support!
