Over the last few years, my house has slowly gone from minimalist to cluttered- heading- towards- hoarding. Doesn't bother me as much as it used to. You would love my garage.
This year I built shelving on one wall - 10 meters long 4 meters high - with a "library ladder" - on a track.- that is an elevator platform rather than a ladder.
I still haven' t totally filled it - but it's close....

I have a huge garage, It's about 5 metres wide at the front and eight at the back, and is very deep. I get a skip in every two or three years and pay a young bloke to clean out the shed..
My dad had a perfectly nice shed for his car. After a few years, it reached the point where it was getting hard to fit in the car. No Probs. He had a car port put in around the side of the house. I helped clear that garage after dad went into care. The word 'purgatory' comes to mind, I don't know why 
My father once varnished his aluminium roof rack.

Yeah.
The most advanced bit of kit I have is a trolley with I use mainly to move large pot plants. Also have this special metal lever (as seen on TV) used to lift the edge of large things I want to move such as a fridge. Then I slip one little padded thingie ( also as seen on TV) under each corner, then the object can be slid over carpet ,wood or tile. ---I don't buy stuff on TV. Usually able to get the thing cheaper on Ebay.
This week I'm looking for a nice SLR digital camera, around 16mp. Should be able to get a decent used one for around $200.

Harbor Freight has a 800 lbs winch that runs on 110v AC.
The winch is mounted justabove the floor. The cable goes thru a pulley at the top - then back down to the carriage which is captured at 6 points on each upright rail.

That sounds like my 2011 house - I had something like a dozen boxes of unread books in the area that's now my study, and tchotchkes everywhere. I finally ran out of stuff to give away, although I'm not a "you must own less than 100 things and paint all the walls off-white" minimalist.

Have you ever considered cannibalism?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
