I am currently helping somebody with their house-a guy who is a mega hoarder and is living in substandard conditions due to past years of ill health and circumstance..The house is full of junk and also items he's collected over the years, and he also has no real flooring, nor hot running water! The electrics aren't operating properly either.

I've began by clearing a lot of junk out (he's reluctant to rid of most things, so this has been a bit difficult!) and I've tiled the bathroom floor and cleaned his kitchen up, it was filthy and full of junk (he hoards old tupperware boxes, margarine boxes and the like, for example) and I've created some space by moving things around. I've cleaned the floors and put a lot of things up into his loft, put new bedding on his bed, had the windows open as the house was smelling fusty, given him my old tumble dryer... Taken LOADS of stuff to the local tip, sold some stuff on eBay for him-I can't think of much else but the place is looking better. Obviously I can't do much regards his water or electricity situation as I'm not skilled or licensed for that sort of thing. I'm just doing what's within my capability and so far I've got it quite a bit better

Are you doing anything at the moment that's a work in progress?

Not doing owt for anyone else Sugar, But I have just moved into my new home. (Well a Flat) and spending loads of time redecorating and getting it furnished etc. Today it is tidy the garden day. Its bad luck that I live in Kent. I could do with some help from a Samaritan like you.
